The Thomas Hardy Graveyard Ash Lunge...... .
-
On closer inspection it reveals itself in a whole different light . Known as the Thomas Hardy Ash and voted as one of London's greatest trees. Before Hardy went on to become a great poet and novelist, he was training to become an architect and was charged with overseeing the exhumation of the body's in the grave yard, for the expansion of the St Pancras Rail line. The head stones were placed together where they are now, and the tree grew up on top of them. A tree with an interesting story. .

At first glance this rather unassuming ash in a central London park, looks to be nothing special to write home about, other than being completely riddled with Perenniporia fraxinea .

This root appears to giving a helping 'hand' to keep this leaning chestnut upright. .

Glad you've kept up with posting on AT Always interested in your welfare and the images you share. All the best mate

What was the reasoning for the spec? I think it generally depends on whether the girdler is causing any dysfunction in the buttress or stem that's it's constricting, and whether it's deeply grafted and likely to cause damage by removing it and creating a wound that could get colinisation by root/butt pathogens. .

Tasted bloody good .

Woodland oak with a self girdling root that has a collection of canker type growth nodules. .

Beech that was in decline which has long term colonisation by Merripilus giganteus, the giant polypore. Secondary saprophytes like the Trametes at the top of the reduced stem have led to decay conditions conducive to feeding and nesting birds. .

Ah, that be it then How rude for the American secret service not to keep me informed .

Yeah, a colleague suggested such. There were three of them in formation being flanked by a Wessex and behind them a smaller commercial looking thing that may have been filming the ones ahead. Movie perhaps. .

Perenniporia fraxinea on oak . -
Another example from the same site .

A step back to a time where the threat of the European question meant an entirely different thing. Aerial images of Hampstead Heath taken in 1941 when the open spaces of grass were taken up and used for a more fundamental purposes than leisure .

<p>Hello James</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are you working for the FC ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do have some images of Massaria branches still within the canopy on infected Planes, (taken from the ground) but as such, the contrast isn't that good as the sky affects the image in most cases.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you let me have your e-mail address I can send them through for you to have a look at.</p>

Love the second shot Chris, good job they weren't goats though, they tend to make a meal out of tree buttresses Last time I looked at the relationship between veteran trees and lambs, one ended up on our dinner table .
