    Awesome trees!!

    Interestingly, look at the second to last image, the Birch has also put out two new shoots, one on the main stem and one on the first limb to the left. be interesting to see if there was any "biotic/abiotic processes" involved that stimulated this growth?

    and that is a truly magnificent oak that i've missed out on (for the time being)

    The whole restoration/retrenchment pruning subject needs looking at full stop, and its things like this that prove it happens naturally anyone so why not mimic the trees natural processes:thumbup1: And IMO urban and street trees are ideal subjects especially when (most of the time) people are trying to save our urban forests

    Ah, its in Bala:001_huh: Drove through there last week on my way home:laugh1: As far as my research goes, i'm collecting previous data (although there isn't a great amount) and trying to find the perfect trees to "experiment" on The photo of this tree has helped a lot:001_cool:
  7. RobArb

  8. RobArb
    experiments to be had for sure not me thinks:thumbup1: What tree is this (Quercus sp.?) and where in the country? Does it have any "neighbours" of the same species in similar condition/size etc? Not actually got this technique in my list of variables.... I have now:001_tongue: Cheers for that tony, i owe you one this time:laugh1:

    What is our consciousness...?? Mmmmm people have been trying to answer that for decades, very philosophical for this time of the day:biggrin: How do we know that we are the perceived consciousness of say a cat perhaps, and we only exist in its mind and what it perceives!? I suppose with a tree, although not "concious" it is an organic lifeform, wood is a living and growing material and could have some sort of "feeling"?? Makes you think:001_rolleyes: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

  23. RobArb
    some great pics and unusual fung there:thumbup:
  24. RobArb
    ta:thumbup: Is that why the form of the stem is that way, because of the Phellinus?
  25. RobArb
    Ok, found this on a oak in the local woods a few months back (might go to see it on my way home from work tomorrow) I think its a Phellinus, but a P. what? I have a few more pictures but must've had a weird colour setting on when taking them as there quite "orange"
