    Fair and well raised point David, but please do not unnecesserily cloud the early conception here, by what is in my opinion a misunderstood idea of where these techniques are to be applied. I rather doubt (possibly a tad naively) that people are touting this in the back gardens of our fine Metropolises. A concept which I believe the eastern side of the Atlantic appear to have grasped, I judge this on the interpretation of input by the thread contributers. Second picture is detail of recently Fractured and Coronetted Ash Monolith after survey and incremental re-reduction.

    All's a tad strong David, but I know what you are getting at. You should see some of our fine Oak toppings, would I'm sure sure take one hell of beating here We should start a two man Oak apreciation society........Save our Oaks, Save our Oaks, Save our Oaks they hear the strange men of the woods chant .

    Can not see your name in the who's posted section on the Fracture Pruning Thread. Have you read it? If not the below link is a good starting point then maybe a follow up call to Paul Muir at TreeWorks Environmental Practice http://www.arborecology.co.uk/resources/coronetcuts_naturalfracture.PDF Nev Faye and his team are at the very forefront with this technique and philosophy. http://www.treeworks.co.uk/ .

    I would proscibe the term to describe the majority of us here, as Arborists. Would think at this time in your career Steve, you would fill the spec of a "Professional Climbing Aborist" With his fingers in many an arboricultural pie .

    That's what I originally thought Tony, and you may be correct. However, the presence of the wound above the bracket leads me to believe that that is ground zero, and that the decay has spread up and down the branch eventually affecting the lost side branch hence weakening and leading to failure. Thats my theory, very happy to hear alternatives to help me either strengthen or weaken my ongoing education. Thanks for the input Tony.

    Hee hee hee...... Always carry out a mental RA to placate my institutionalised H&S desires espeicially whilst attendind non affiliated or sanctioned woodland events .

    Still relatively hard. Probably could have done with a fractometer test but 1, I haven't got a fractometer and 2, I've chipped the timber. If I remember I will put aside the timber next time and carry out a Dmp test and post the results. .

    That's bang out of order Dean. If we're Middlers then you lot are definately Streisands, and I don't even wan't to think about what John and the rest of his Southies are

    Progression along branch @ 50cm increments, begining at the base of the tear.
  19. David Humphries
    Nothing particularly mind blowing here, thought I'd just share these picture sets of the progression of Inonotus hispidus on Fraxinus branch. Imo that the decay has probably caused this branch trauma, rather than the tear fasciltating the decay onset.

    Great place to visit but I am progressively moving out of the Big smoke, so far we've only reached the Big circular car park. Aspiring to end up with something more akin to Yorkshiremans abode. Looks like good livin to me. I'd stick with your neck of the woods David, and leave the concrete jungle to our fine Captains of industry and the penguins (tourists) .
