    Is it possible and financially viable? Eventually if it does kill the tree, would it then be viable to leave a stump of sorts as a habitat area? I ask as a local council near me has felled a veteran HC due to bleeding canker, apparently thousands have been spent trying to save it but i've been told it HAD to go? They don't do deadwood in wigan don't you know:thumbdown: The Old Tree is Going Photo-a-Day :: wiganworld

    Hi ray have you tried the knot database? Each "end" of the hitch cord used to make the prussik is tied together via a double fishermans knot to make an endless loop

    good small garden trees to have are IMO Amelanchier's ornamental Maples (although some aren't very hardy) The Silk Tree (again can only grow in certain conditions) Strawberry tree Some Pear varieties

    are you looking to plant a native tree or something ornamental? Is it a windy site? (ornamental trees can suffer windburn) (but not all) do you want autumn colour? flowers? don't think you should have a major problem from a water uptake point of view, but don't take my word for it:biggrin:

    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?
  11. RobArb
    cheers gerrit but what about the flat bark?
  12. RobArb
    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?

    question 2 to follow when i've sorted the pics:biggrin:
  14. RobArb
    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?
  15. RobArb
    Thanks Gerrit:thumbup:

    certainly am, late september isn't it?
  23. RobArb
    yeesh, an offer a i can't refuse:thumbup: tell you what, in september when time is ripe (i've a few camping holidays coming up so free time is at a minimum at the moment) how about i come to your neck of the woods, and a return trip to mine is arranged? 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?)
  24. RobArb
    still lacking in the fungal features dept, need to do more reading and play catch up:thumbup:
  25. RobArb
