    and last question of the night:lol: number 3 this A. platanoides again had a full healthy crown but with what seem to be weird shear cracks in the stem that seem to be trying to "seal" they were on both sides of the tree opposite to each other with one shear split in half and the other looked like it could be a possible shear bomb crack Also on one side of the tree near a crack there were 3 separate areas of what seemed to be flat bark. So whats going/gone on?

    cheers gerrit but what about the flat bark?

    ok on to question 2 this A. hippo' had a full healthy crown but appears (possibly) to have been hit by lightning. There is a mucky brown bleed on the bottom of the scar. On the opposite side to the scar there was a flat area of bark and a "black bleed" on a root buttress with a burr above the bleed. So whats going/gone on?

    so whats happening here then, excuse me if its a stupid question but i'm going to start from scratch from the fungi side of things by asking really simple stupid questions:blush: so question 1 (first set of pics) this pseudoplatanus has obviously got some kind of helical growth going on but never seen the bark lift like this before? so.... whats going on?

I would love it if that could happen! (i may be able to squeeze in a weekend towards the end of july if you want to do something sooner?)
