well apart from not understanding what was said the was pretty impressive with the maze thing!
-
so what caused my tree to split out? was it the gano or the union or the age or all of the above? and are there all sorts of gano now feeding on the carcass? or is it just one species? which is more aggressive? should this be in the gano thread:blushing:

When is the right time/season to plant picea abies from seed and why?
RobArb replied to alfie121's topic in General chat
without being negative shouldn't you have tried to find some research yourself? -

RobArb replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Fungi Pictures
Thanks Gerrit I can see the difference in pic one and two quite clearly but would there ever be a time when pic 2 could end up like pic 1 or would the stem girdling roots be too detrimental to the tree before the "water basin" effect ever becomes advantageous? -
I have lots of reading to do:001_smile:

love that new growth pic:thumbup: very simple but effective
-
haha:lol: all that effort for a photo opportunity.... nice one:biggrin:
-
few more bugs and fung:thumbup: kinda didn't really notice the bugs till i actually looked at the pics again:blushing: and does mould on a fung count:confused1:

bit like this david?

is that the same as stem girdling roots? -
beautiful topiary that is, clean as a whistle!

mmm beginning to think its just a coined phrase that one person has made up
-
ok, so having a bit of a look through google and my athens account i've come across something i'm ashamed to have not heard of:blushing: but is this because its been "made-up" or is it a proven thing? mmm more research me thinks.. Has anyone heard of endocormic growth instead of epicormic growth? and is it in any tree books that people have as my library isn't very extensive at the moment!
-
thats mad that is! put "restoration pruning" into google and this thread is the fourth link down, its only been here since last night and its fourth already, just shows how little there is out there about this sort of pruning, unless its on fruit or nursery trees!
-
i too was also thinking grafting but from an LA perspective i think this would be more time consuming and probably cost more money but it is IME (eyes) a feasable possibility on trees that take to grafting well I need to find some trees that have been scaffolded or poorly pruned and that i can be let loose on that i know are my trees only:blushing: might be worth asking my local TO and see what he says feel i've got a nice little research project coming on here:thumbup:
-
how secure would the new branching be? its not as if its grown there from the original growth pattern of the tree, its "artificially" encouraged so would that mean there would be a weaker connection to the stem anyway and the whole procedure rendered pointless? i do fancy experimenting with this though:thumbup: ps, cheers david for those pics, helps a lot:biggrin: and interesting too
-
I've read things on the restoration pruning of fruit trees in orchards but can't seem to find anything for street/parkland/other trees might start making a few "v" shaped notches (out of sight to start with) on some scaffold branches on trees near me, see what the "field tests" throw up
-
I know the basics and when reducing and thinning now, I do what I can to either leave as much inner crown as possible or reduce it to points that will restore the growth evenly and as best for the tree. What I'm saying is, can you essentially "pick/scar/nick" the bark in places on stupidly long scaffold poles to promote growth whilst leaving the rest of the tree untouched? I know how important the inner crown is but I think the people who ordered/carried out passed works previous, didn't!
-
Is there a way of promoting branch growth (like epicormic but not as vigorous) anywhere on the stem/branch of a tree? For example if the tree has been lion tailed and there are long scaffolding poles everywhere (like a lot of the trees that have had past work on them where i work). is there a way of encouraging new growth in the inner crown? would making a little snick or cut in the bark cause epi to grow which could be managed to create future branches? Does it depend on species to species?

conservation area maybe? depends on where it is

the new galaxy s2 is dual core to, much much much faster than the iphones and HTC's of this world!

just a normal bog standard phone contract runs out next month so will be moving up to the android with a samsung galaxy s2
