    Cilla have you heard of CAVAT? a tree valuation system?
  7. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    dont see where it leads Cilla, make it lead, be the lead, you started this because you and the others knew there was injustice, The tree was able to stand with good managment and some expense, expense that I am sure the local community would have raised if it was due to a shortage of funds (doubt it) stick to your guns, tell it like it is and do NOT back down.

    thats a great peice of info, as till now I didnt think it would fruit on deadwood:thumbup1:
  9. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    TP and Jensen both good choices IMO we have two TP's a nine inch PTO its a great chipper but as comments before it hasnt no stress but matters not most of the time and when we put a lump thats going to drop the revs in we just control it a little with the bar
  10. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    whay does it panic fruit from cut logs then? ive never seen living fruits on dead trees either? I stand corrected, was an assumption I should not have made without looking at the facts:blushing:

    I wanted to say mutabilis too! the stipes right for it. didnt have a clue without the books on the second:thumbup:
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    great post sean, and I can only re iterate it:thumbup1:
  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    agree with others a Pluerotus sp
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    it wont be generating energy, not till its leafed up, it is USING reserves stored over winter and in the roots and zylem. best to leave it a while but if the client wont wait a light thin should be o.k reduction definitely not.

    and I once felled a very large pine with no evidence of Phaeolus in the bottom 10 metres but fruitbodies at a wound at that hieght with some decay. so it is capable of top rot with no evidence low down. I have seen it panic fruit for the first time from the rootplates of trees that blew out by the rootplate (because the wood was over thinned) with no decayed roots evident. this suggests that its prefered entry is via roots but as a biotrophic parasite one may assume it has no real interest in focusing on merely roots and killing the host too quickly. In my experience most failures occure due to the T/R rule of the stem rather than root failures

    wish you guys and girls all the best on this event, may it be the raging success I know it will be, im so gutted to not be able to be there.
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    funny you should show up just when were talking evolutionary regression! wheres stephen now?
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    some consultants in my experience would fell this tree! what sort of test do you have in mind
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    insecticides are not my fave thing but these dead patches on well clipped leyland hedges are not a natural system so have some sympathy for their use in these circumstances.
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    3 weeks from a cord? I climb as much as anyone here, all day everyday and had an armor prus last 1 year!
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    think the first has dark spores, dont know matt not without getting the books out. maybe pholiota and hypholoma?
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I agree on potential retention, I had a feeling it had recovered and very well from HCBC, the Pluerotus are fruiting from the now aerated ripewood, this is now irreversible so long term retention will have to take account of a future hollow trunk and main scaffolds maybe over the next 15 20 years.
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    one is the sexual fruit body see second image first image confistulina (thanks Gerrit) the asexual fruiting body or anamorph
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I dont think Gerrit would have any interest in it from an ecology/evolutionary point of view but maybe from a psychology point of view.
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    ask him what?
