    haven't seen this before, good post, any suspicions? got a close up?
  2. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    theres a lot of good advice here, and a few subtle words:001_rolleyes:
  3. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    If it isnt a saprotroph, or a necrotroph, theres only one way to go!
  4. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    yes I too have seen it on a stem lying on the floor, for the last time only, never again. I spoke to ted green on this matter, he is insistent or rather was that fungi dont effect living wood, I gave him the challenge to find hispidus on wood that was dead, long term. He admitted it was a good challenge. David, how many standing dead ash have you seen with it, or plains or sorbus or malus for that matter. you offer not for the first time one fallen branch as your case point, youll have to go a LOT further my old mucka
  5. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    inonotus hispidus is a heart rot, it does however cause cambium die off in localised areas, or necroses, this enables it to fruit, it is also not at all saprobic suggesting a strongly biotrophic nature (parasitic) I feel its mode of entry is as others suggest fresh wounds and or deadwood stubs
  6. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    heart rot
  7. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    its the sap/resin!
  8. Tony Croft aka hamadryad

  10. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Thats cool, but cooler still when you know off the top of your head!
  11. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    why does no one bother to mention that Schwarze is available digitally for the price of the old book around 45 quid? get a kindle
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    1) Ash canker 2) poplar scab 3) manganese deficiency (interveinal chlorosis) 4) Old graft wound 5) Polar hawk moth 6) The leyland decimator i cant remember the name of try FC website and AA site 7) an ash gallery bug that I cant think of its name but david knows it well enough too, give me another day and less wine and I will find it!
  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    the first 1) is an ash? Ash canker the bacterial rather than fungi one surely?
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I may be wrong of course, wouldnt take my guesses as gospel!
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    poplar scab?
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    one on poplar hawk moth one is manganese deficiency one is bacterial canker of ash one is a beetle that mines ash cambium man made was a t graft failed by the look trying to remember the others now!
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    show me the two

    I've been looking at trees for 20 plus years, this isn't some odd seasonal fluctuation, and luck has long, long passed, our ash are well and truly under great threat, whats going on out here in Herts (neighbouring bucks first site) is looking to me like big, big issues. I was fingers crossed and optimistic that we may have enough resistance, but I'm confidant now that I was being naive. I've not been following the map as its spread is going to be total, and theres a little bit of me that cant take watching it, except now its in my face on every road. The ash was one of my fave species, the biodiversity associated with it immense, veteran rises early in life and provides homes to many tree hollow species of bats and owls when there is seldom else around. A bloody tragedy, and its not like we learned from Dutch Elm, will every generation of man see the demise of one species of tree in their times?
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I think these days any form of information gathering counts, its more about being able to find the answers.
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    hahahah trust me to jump to quick conclusions, now ive had a second look theres a few to catch out smart arse rapid fire answers! that would be me as usual!
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    these are pretty basic ones, are you a young student? what lit have you?
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    is this for the PTI? I dont know what species the list has these days but care to name them? then w emay be able to help with the "strategy" part,
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    and everyone basically told me to take a running jump when i asked for support on direct action back in autumn 2012, Gerrit Keizer had warned at least two high profiles 2 years aheadof that. The authorities knew pre 2010 of the threat, and did squatt:thumbdown: and I am sorry to say but this one is going to be a big one, not unlike DED
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    This is soul destroying news from all, I think the gales we had (at least 13 at my count) have probably done nothing but spread it all over the shop with superb efficiency. From my eyes this is too much of a widespread and sudden change in condition of our ashes, which last year appeared pretty normal. this summer is going to reveal the true power of this pathogen.
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I have noticed a very late leafing and significant poor health in my local ashes this spring, it does not look good at all
