  1. no pictures but a story...... about 6 weeks ago i took down a large sycamore in a local park, the tree was situated right close to someones back garden and had been pollarded (badly) in the past and was on its way out with a dbh of about 3' it was a perfect candidate (IMO) of a nature stick, but it was down for a fell so spoke to the TO and the client whos garden it was and it was decided to leave it at about 15' for the bugs, beasties, birds and fungus to eat at:thumbup: this week had to go back to it to fell it because a local politician had complained about it being an eyesore:thumbdown:

  13. found this today on an acer platanoides, i think its xylaria hypoxylon but would it grow this high up and is it the right time of year, and what would it be doing to the tree if it is?
  14. this was a funny little (big) gall i found on an Ulmus laevis today, weird huh?
