thanks gerrit they do seem to be more in abundance on quicker growing trees, although as stated i have found them on most species (so far)

my five year old knows more trees by the latin name than he does the common! he can easily name 12 trees by their latin/scientific name:thumbup:

V.T.A symptoms "the chatty trees"
RobArb replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Tree health care
Thanks gerrit, I did suspect as much (with tony's help) Pete, if you look at the pictures (i think it's the last one on oak 2) you can just make out near where the soil meets the base of the trunk a "sinkage" or dip in the bark on the right. Possible suspects are what gerrit has stated Sent from Rob's GalaxySII -
Er... Duh! It looks like an artichoke janey, did you not know that! :lol: Seriously though, it's a disfigurement of the acorn rather than the leaf isn't it? Seen a few in the local woods. Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

like i did, i invented the acre pseudoplatanoides don't you know!

It didn't come across in my post but again i couldn't agree more, get to one of these seminars if you can, and the new BS is definately going to improve things over the next 10-20 years:thumbup: (just an opinion before i get shot down in flames:lol:)

went to the one in wrexham on the 5th, very interesting in my opinion but unfortunately it is still used as a set of guidelines down for interpretation i.e. if you can "justify" doing work not to the BS recommendations and the justification has a reasonable cause then its ok to carry on and do it... pity that this will leave the door open for a lot of work thats not "recommended" but is "justifiable"... I suppose its all about interpretation The new recommendations though don't unfortunately have any specialised work in there as restoration pruning for example! Also at our LA, don't think they even know a knew BS is out:confused1:
-
There was a good botany program that janey pointed out a while back on the iplayer on why things have latin names and how it originated, if its still there I'll post it Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
