    The title is deliberate, for the purpose is to save trees that folk are desperate save from felling (not reduction) I hope those that need it most will find it, after recieving late in the day a plea for help on some condemned beeches, which a company wanted £3500.00 to give a no guarantee diagnosis! when if it was a do or die situation an increment core and fracto test could have been done for 1/10th of that fee, £350.00:sneaky2: So if YOU have a need of a second opinion because someone has condemned your beloved trees and you want to save them by various means and need an advocate please let us know here first. I've had enough of seeing trees needlessly condemned when a good management plan could see them retained for in many cases decades and longer. we cant save em all I know, but we want to help and do what we can. So tell us about your trees, and let us see if we can turn tides

    I would focus ALL my time and budget on improving the rhizosphere with particular attention to improving conditions for mycorrhizae. But you wont like that, cos its myco eccentric!

    Been out and about as usual, BB today, checking out the soil profiles and noting tree conditions, the old vets are in a right old state, leafing later Kretz and armillaria everywhere and I suspect the mycorrhizae are severely lacking in many of the oldest vets now. If you want to witness burnham beeches I suggest you do it soon, its old vets are failing, bar a view exceptions, these will be those with good attendance of Mycorrhizae communities I suspect, shall see come autumn. Epping on the other hand with a less organic horizon appears to be as good now as when i first visited? Could this indicate that eutrophication and root damage caused by heavy hoofed grazers at BB is having a detrimental effect?

    I agree with David, slap your wrists:lol:
