    As the title says, anyone any experience on the decay mode of I. hispidus on turkey oak, I,m guessing that its similar to the mode on Plane trees, but not sure.

    Apologies again, I get my argumentative side from my old man too.

    Hi Hama, You do tend to condescending side, my apologies if i,ve offended you.

    Hi Tony, I,ve read your posts with interest, you are obviously a clever and committed person and your knowledge of fungi is very impressive. However, I really dont need to be told about the balance of nutrition and canopy density/retention. This tree is in a target rich environment and has an obvious defect that may result in whole tree failure. Increased nutrition or whatever, can only be achieved by trunk injection as the tree is tarmacced up to the trunk and surrounded on all other sides by concrete. The reduction, which I did not spec. is obviously going to impact on the photosynthetic capacity, and will probably tip the balance in favour of the primary pathogen, but a reduction may be preferable to removal , lets see what happens. My boss would laugh at me if I suggested trunk injections to increase vitality, there is no money out there. Please dont treat us in a condescending way. Cheers.

    Hi, I missed the meripilus bit sorry too early. no I,ve not seen meripilus on lime.

    Hi Gerritt, Yeah those three are fairly common on Lime here, I was wondering if there are any fungi associated with the upper canopy and branching framework of Tilia sp. and how the different sp. respond.

    Thanks Gerritt, It also has a rat nest between butresses under the pavement, never seen that before, Yeah Sean, on York Road. Cheers

    Hi Gerritt, Aren,t there Cameraria in the first pic?

    Hi, Does anyone have any info on differing rates of decay on Tilia sp. I have been told that T. vulgaris has far less ability to compartmentalise wood decay fungi than other Tilia sp. I have never come across this before. There also seems a lack of pathogenetic fungi that invade the trunk and periphera of Tilia sp.

    Hi everyone, Scenario, sorry no pics, but I can post some if needed later, mature plane by a major road, P. fraxinea on two sectors, fairly large fruiting bodies. The tree was reduced by 40% one year ago,I know, showing peripheral canopy dieback and sparse foliage cover, little responsive/epicormic growth. The thing is that it is shedding/exfoliating bark from root and trunk. This is revealing underlying tissues which would obviously be vulnerable to a number of climatic factors. Is this a response to reduced photosynthetic capacity? Anyone got any info. on the effect of p. fraxinea on plane, Platanus x acerifolia syn. P x acerifolia. Sorry about the length of this post. Cheers.

    or is that not adaptive growth but the first stage of collapse?
  12. alliaria
    Hi Gerrit, Would you say the adaptive growth in pic 1 has compensated for the internal decay?
  13. alliaria
    Hi, Why would it stop the photosynthetic capacity? Any links to this article?
  14. alliaria
    :biggrin:Both mate, but honestly thanks for the replies I always come away from these posts having learnt something new or desperately searching through text books to clarify some point

    I don,t believe you mean that, hama!

    Hi All, Please ignore this reply, posted under the affluence of ilcohol in a particularly bitter and twisted frame of mind:001_tongue:

    Hi, Carried out a tomograph on the tree in 2010, some decay associated with bracket and area of flat bark, but not nearly enough to warrant removal. I have heard later ( thanks Gerrit ) that signs of selective delignification are not always picked up on diffuse porous trees. Budget does not run to a pulling test unfortunately. The tree has been dead-wooded twice in last 4 years.

    Hi Hama, Sorry about the photos, it.s been positively identified as perenniphora, spore print fits.
  20. alliaria
    Oh yes, i,m seriously thinking of removal, I assume Armillaria sp. is in there but no evidence.
  21. alliaria
    air spade to reduce compaction, allicin to reduce Cameraria damage, mulch to the dripline, phosphite incorporation. Scores of trees limited budget. Councils do not have the resources.
  22. alliaria
    Hi, Yes, none under the bark, could do a more thorough inspection around the base of the tree though.
  23. alliaria
    Hi Graham, I,ll check for utilities nearby. Have you seen similar damage due to gas?
  24. alliaria
    Hi, Here are some pics. No sign of massaria, no evidence of ceratocystis, but still many trees dead and dying??? Note the staining around the cambial region in the last pic.

    Hi Hama, Some photos
