    Oh ive a lot of work to do before I can expand on it much, just an educated hunch, Trichodermas thrive on waning fruitbodies like this annual, massive genus and imortant component of the forest ecology. Welcome to Trichoderma taxonomy! Trichoderma virens, a Plant Beneficial Fungus, Enhances Biomass Production and Promotes Lateral Root Growth through an Auxin-Dependent Mechanism in Arabidopsis http://www.weizmann.ac.il/Biological_Chemistry/scientist/Chet/NR.pdf

    when pruning Oaks take more off the outer perimeter than the inner frame, and try not to remove epicormics from more than three feet (1metre) from the trunk and then only if the client INSISTS on a clean trunk

    nice image david. no reason why it cant reach heights from basal colonisation providing A) it is a good combatant, or B) there is noone else home to combat for territory. The internal battle field of woody structures, I wish I could shrink down for a day and walk down the vessels!

    many, ive even got a shot of bjerkandera adusta guttating, some do it naturaly, like inonotus dryadeus, fistulina hepatica often does, inonotus cuticularis can be a heavy Guttation fungi, but Fomitopsis pinicola is the champion weeper

    And there was me thinking it obvious. decay, cavitation in heart wood, shear crack formed, compensatory growth to close crack, crack extending, battle being lost.
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    my mates tree across the road dumped a massive crown portion today due to Laetiporus, dodgy with unions close by the decayed region
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad

    havent seen a Juglans nigra for ages, in fact not since the largest one in the country was felled and I saw its remains in the yard of a new firm I was going to work for! a tree I had been intending on visiting, until I saw its bits in this yard! good job:thumbup1:

    try to be sympathetic when somebody thinks a cheaper quote is best, they may not have much money, or just think your trying it on. Most people learn by their mistakes, dont punish them for being human, like you and making their own errors. My view is to apologise to the client on behalf of our industry and explain why your a little more expensive and they so cheap, in a honest and non derogatory fashion. better still ask the AA for a leaflet on choosing your contractor, maybe pass one on as you quote for a new client, thats what they are made for. No good moaning about the uneducated clients if your unwilling to sympathise and offer an education, or have any empathy when they ask you to return after they learned the hard way. They have suffered enough.
