    below, the result of the St Judes storm...... the last shot appears to show the wall 4 barrier of CODIT between the sound sap wood and the advancing lignin degredation. I assume that this dark thin barrier is what Francis Schwartze refers to as the Polyphenolic R(eaction) zone. .

    so, 4 years on from the reduction (feb 2013) we undertook resistograph readings to ascertain the t/R ratio of the extent of heart white rot and to determine the residual wall thickness. we took readings at all cardinal points, here are a couple of them..... .

    Woodland beech with multiple fruiting of Ganoderma australe from February 2009. We decided to reduce the leaning canopy weight over footpath steps to attempt to redistribute the weight over target. .

    Spangle galls Dean, caused by the female gall wasp Neuroterus quercusbaccarum. There's a single wasp larvae in each of them .

    Jesse, this is not really 'my' list, more so a place for anyone to highlight articles in the press regarding anything to do with trees. As such, your piece fits nicely. I find it interesting but also unsuprising that the article does not report or make mention of the benefits of the tree other than its historical reference. thanks for posting. .
  19. David Humphries
    Thanks for sharing Chris How was the structure of the trunk from base to crown break? Any shots of it before it was felled? Cheers David .

    Any time Bro, I think Helen Read has spent some time down that way looking at the old growth. I'll give her a call to find out and will let you know .
  21. David Humphries
    Sounds fantastic, as per usual with you Drew Are the old growth trees going to involve Bare foot ascent of Chilean pines? .
  22. David Humphries
    Those growths are really odd, they look the pnuemataphors of a swamp tree. Are they alive/green Mario or completely dead? .
  23. David Humphries
    I don't think this would be a spheroblast Dan. I understand that Speroblasts in essence, are meristematic cell disorders where the process of cell division to produce a bud does not complete and the miss formed bud becomes included with every years annual growth. Usually no bigger than a duck egg as they tend to eventually detach from the stem probably due to weight and abscission. like in the shot of this oak below. I think the growth (burr) in the original post may be scar tissue that has formed at a trauma and is mal-formed grain in the annual layed down wood ........or what Tony said .
  24. David Humphries
    Not only alive but hardy and stout enough to have come through the recent storm in the UK unscathed when other neighbouring younger more brash pretenders were ripped asunder This one less than 150 yards from the twins .
  25. David Humphries
    a rather decrepit cherry that has cement, Pholiota & Laetiporus to deal with .
