    I met up with Andrew Cowen today to collect a massive donation to my bookclub (Big up respect Andrew that was a VERY large and generous donation!) As you would expect when two of the elites of the arbor ecology set get together special is the name of the game! We popped off for a mini bimble to west wickam common, well it was bound to be epic! I had already stopped off at Knole house grounds as I do when out that way and had a great time, but then we went to West Wickem, and I could not contain myself, there she was, not one, not two but three trees holding the uba rare Oak polypore, Piptoporus quercinus! AWESOME!

    True about consequences, never seen a reduced one fail though myself. its not easy wouldnt say it was, but there are ways and means of ensuring ones confidance or lack of is backed up, airspading compaction tests ect

    thats going chlorotic, case rested
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    the operations must have been timed well then, they tend to suffer with strip dieback at the wound, doesnt effect them much but as with all tree issues tends to be a case by case thing, optimal growing conditions make a massive difference to how trees cope.
