Singleton Park?
-
Interesting, i saw it mentioned in Schwarze as looking similar but occurring higher in the tree, so I assumed it ,s presence in the UK. Oh well. Cheers
-
Hi All, On the I. dryadeus thread, one of Monkey-Ds photos show a definite stalk and I,ve always understood there is a sessile attachment, also some mention of dryadeus at height, could this be I. dryophilus? But all this is probably due to the infinite fungal variations and my lack of knowledge, Cheers.

I think we can all be a bit precious sometimes, why not reduce to the upright lateral or remove altogether?
-
AAh!!! Informed is it? But seriously I will dig around, although half of the rooting zone is tarmac, I know could be the cause of the initial injury. By the way I,m with Giles, should have looked at the resource first. Top hole and all that. Cheers.
-
Hi, Thanks for the info. much appreciated,busy road and theres a TPO on it. It,s a brave man who,ll leave it up even with a reduction. Decisions decisions eh. All the best.
-
Hi, A bit of a long shot considering the state of these fruiting bodies, but any ideas. I thought the ones at the base may be old inonotus dryadeus, Its an Oak by the way, and the others strewn around the floor look like inonotus hispidus, but i,ve not seen it on Oak. There seems to be a scar at the base but it,s low for I. hispidus. Cheers

Hi, The stock and scion need to be compatable and that usually means the same family, aesculus-hippocastanaceae and ash-oleaceae would not be successful. All chimeras are from the same family -mahoberberis-berberidaceae, laburnocytisus-fabaceae, etc.

Acer pennsylvanica? Opposite leaves?
-
Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
alliaria replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Hi, I was a day late to se this in all it,s glory, Red Cage Fungi, Clathrus rubra, in Caswell Bay on the Gower peninsular.
-
Hi Hama, Inonotus dryadeus? never seen it look like that, I always thought it was one of the easier to identify. Doh wrong again.
-
Its not Broussenetia, I,ll work on it. Cheers
-
Hi, Erythrina crista galli is in the fabaceae ie pea family, them flowers and fruit don,t look right for that.
-
Like this....
-
Hi, I know what you mean. Broussenetia has variable leaves , some lobed some not. The pic. looks like a tree with undifferentiated leaves, possibly juvenile. That and the male and female flowers being similar led to my conclusion. I may be wrong, won,t be the first time or even the thousandth time. Difficult without seeing the tree. Cheers.
-
Looks like a Broussonettia.
-
Hi, I don,t suppose any of you LA chaps, or any one else,have any info. on bonus schemes/payments within a contract spec. Cheers
-
I,d go wth Sorbus torminalis.
-
Theres another A in there somewhere
-
At the risk of a being a smart ass it is the only tree in the scrophulariceae family, foxgloves et al.
-
Hi, not convinced about any associated basal decay, pooling water will create anaerobic conditions which will preclude fungal infection. Problem is notch stress and lever arm, how high is the canopy above the historic pruning wound? Any saprobes present/ I,d probably reduce, but difficult to say on the available evidence.
-
Kabatina shoot blight?
-
Hi Both, I.d be interested to see photos, I appreciate your responses and will take all on board. Cheers
-
Thanks for that, problem with reduction is the cyclical pruning of the regrowth, but I think it,s horses for courses, as for severity, large trees seem to cope better, small trees can go very quickly espevially x carnea. Cheers
-
Hi, HCs seem to be predisposed to weak forks, and with added stress split out. I agree that remedial work is a better option, monitoring is a bit of a cop out. Top 50 urban trees Hama? Not sure I agree, but irrelevant ,they are there and need to be managed. Anyway thanks for all the answers. Have a good day.
