I've wondered in the past, and would like others thoughts/opinions/experiences on this... Why do some lime trees have abundant epicormic growth at the base, and others none? Is it indicative of stress, or to provide carbs for reactive growth to compensate decay? Also, how do you go about checking for K. deusta when the growth is so thick? Or just not look unless there are symptoms within the crown? ... so many questions, so little time!

Why might waterlogging cause such bottle butt? Do you know/think there is decay present, or is it a type of canker? Looks like the main roots extend 'through it' and out the other side; does that make sense? Thank you....

EAB= something ash borer?

How can can you say with such certainty so quickly from the pic? Honey was my first thought.... just curious, as ever!

I have a cork oak to look at very soon, client wants it reduced as it has reached around 40 feet tall in a small garden. Now, in 9 years of arb I have never even seen one! Can I presume it will respond in a similar way to Quercus ilex, being evergreen? Any thing to look out for, notable pests/diseases, tree species specific or common fungal associations? Apparently it sheds its leaves twice a year (second hand info from their friend), that can't be right?! Maybe old ones get blown off by autumn winds, and again during blustery summer days? anyway, any info welcome, many thanks

Something to do with force flows? More distinct channels of photosynthates traveling up and down (and growing faster, ie thicker annual increments) the trunk, outgrowing the bits in between as the core becomes dysfunctional. I may well be wrong, and await correction! -
Ooooo, shiny new toy! I forsee some very interesting posts in the future; hopefully

May I ask how you can tell it isn't fistulina brown rot without seeing mycelial mats in the wood, or fruit bodies?

What is it about the urine (just dogs?) they like? I thought Coprinus where final wood decay fungi?

sloth replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Training & education
Yep, I asked for your address as you have it next. Not just yet though! So far I would say it has more species and is a less cluttered in its delivery than Rogers (all I have which is comparable). I shall be more in depth at a latter date, safe to say I want a copy -
