    another piece of the chain:thumbup1:
  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    ha ha, sounds like a right mess!
  6. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    that will only define Pfiefferi in the case of perennial, or resi in the case of annual
  7. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    as do I but when do roots that cross each other become girdles as opposed to grafts and soil locking points? great care will need to be taken in this route.

    I lik to think of this invasive thing a different way. If we take an tree, especialy the sort we are going to "investigate" which will usualy be over mature and large, we find a tree that has begun to divide into sections, even if we cannot see those sections, we can visualise them. What I mean to say is that close to the base where forces and "channels" are at their highest magnitudes we will have a clear body language that tells us where to do the least harm. Here the hearts represent main arteries of sap and force flow, we should not drill here, even the surface wounds of picus are undesirable breaks in function. But at the white star points, the underlying tissues are becoming dysfunctional or have become so and eventualy will be decayed out in the years to come. We an do virtualy no harm whatsoever in this area.

    I admire the skill and work, but these sort of enhanced images do nothing for me, I prefer the natural look.

    Guy, I remain open as always, my hands and mind, "I see you" but how can you expect to treat these bleeds this way? what is your thinking, how did you come to the conclusion this would benifit the trees natural sealing proscess? why did you not just do soil amendments decompact ect?

    he takes a little getting used to, but he is harmless really:lol:
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    looks perennial a section has been removed prior, this may be austral even pfeifferi, but the black remains behind do indicate a prior annual fruit? difficult call. pinned down i would go australe
  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    dean, this post, would it be possible for you to check on this occasionally for a cluster of tripe fungus? I believe the poor response is due to this wound fungus.
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    shall watch with interest.
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    sorry i didnt make it guys, cars making some funny noises and vibration, think theres something lose at the CV joints.
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I get it TC, but if its so hollow as to be approaching t/r ratio limits it will sound like a drum, unless of course one of the ganos is at work, then the wood may be only slightly modified but still sounding solid. Take an increment core from between the butresses not the active channels
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    ive just bought that set u, going to try it withought the dyneema kit now.
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Schwarze did a fair bit of research, will try to locate the papers.
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    there is a need to remove a small bark plug to get zylem contact:thumbdown: thermo on the other hand:001_rolleyes:
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    certainly possible:thumbup1:
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I concur with david, but one I feel maybe stereum hirsutum it is pubescent. pores lacking may help that assumption. as for the pip, it may be caused by disruptions via a fungal specific beetle or other small beastie, there are many that live for the pip
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    its a bit of a mare this folder business aint it, you know their there but where be there!
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Classic, nice find.
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Gotta love the attempt, I mean how big was this wound guy? and did it extend from the point of entry to the point of final reach? Q. rubra is particularly prone to honey, and doesnt cope well with pruning wounds. How much die back was present in the canopy?

    that birch was amazing. Guy, take note! that old beech needs rhizo work or its on its last days
