    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
  2. RobArb
    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?

    How does this scalycap like its climate? I mean how does it differ down there to up here as i know its only a couple of degrees but its cooler and wetter here in ther north west? so will it grow up here?

    on another note found this on the big dead trunk, was only small 2/3 weeks ago last time i was there and now seems to be either eaten or in decline do you know what it is? ps any ideas on the little beasties making it there home also?
  12. RobArb
    i might hold you to that:biggrin: there's some that are a definate no no for climbing but there's still some nice healthy specimens does seem though like every year there are a couple of massive summer limb drops from these beasties!
  13. RobArb
    you mean this bit?
  14. RobArb
    could spend days in that place:thumbup: got a bit snap happy tonight though, next time going to focus on quality of finds (more time looking) might even take the kit and climb some i haven't already climbed:biggrin:

    went back to big wood again tonight and found something weird on the tree with the adventitious root in the central decay cavity. as anyone heard of two species growing together? sycamore growing on a beech?

    All interesting stuff and a good read:thumbup: All i know is the way i cooked it sure did taste nice:biggrin:
  21. RobArb
    it probably is, i can definately see the similarities in all the images posted i think i'm just trying to over complicate things:blushing: i have a weird way of thinking and sometimes miss things that are right in front of my nose, but don't worry i'll get there:thumbup:
  22. RobArb
    are these symptoms synonymous with other fungi, or does this particular rotter have its own unique "style" i mean does the pattern of decay from mesenterica hold any similarities with other types of fungi that have the same rot properties? does that make sense?
  23. RobArb
    hint hint:blushing: how does that specific wound relate to the tripe? what makes it different?
  24. RobArb
    me too, its been a valuable tool so far:thumbup:
