Leaf marcescence and late lammas growth?
sloth replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
Lots of trees and plants doing odd things round here this year.... I've got Sambucus nigra in the garden still holding on to a couple of last years leaves, and its just started bud burst. Wonder how it'll fair at the next hard frost? Also Passion flower still flowering, roses flowering and coming into leaf, daisies in the lawn, primrose next door, daffs just about in flower at my nan-in-law's, lots of trees still got some green on em.... crazy... -

sloth replied to Kveldssanger's topic in Training & education
Interesting, not quite sure how to take that. I think of a parasite as taking nutrition in some form from its host, rather than preventing its biological functions to allow 'overgrowing' it. Cheers for that... -

All very interesting Sorry to 'nit pick', but could you clear this up for me please? Does the S crispa actually parasitise the Armillaria, or rather secrete antifungal compounds which affect the growth it? Cheers... -

Exactly. As a general rule evergreen trees are softwood, deciduous are hard - some exceptions of course, and just because it's a hardwood it doesn't mean the timber is hard, like poplar...

It's a hard wood

No Jon... bless your cotton socks -
First pic could be kd, very hard to say much from those pics tbh...

Thanks for bringing this up Jules. I confess, I haven't seen the full document, only the micro guide. I guess I'll be purchasing a copy after all! In my mind, when an LA requires a tree survey to 5837 I'll continue to categorize as per 5837. Until 5837 is revised to refer to 8596 or mentions bat potential as a consideration in assigning tree categories, I won't let this play on my mind too much - leave it to the ecologists to survey for bats. I do have in my reports a caveat regarding protected species in trees for contractors to note, I think I'll be updating this. As a side note, where does the AA guidance note on bats in trees stand now this BS and micro guide are available? The law on bat protection remains the same, so....

I've got raspberry and passion flower in the garden still flowering...

Why cherry for src? I don't know much about it, but wouldn't a more traditional coppice choice like willow or hazel be better?

Fb is Facebook right? Can't stand the thing! My wife gets lost in it for hours talking to friends. You can say in 5 mins on the phone or in person what takes half hour on Fb

Lovely ol tree...

Am I the only one who finds it odd biggarlogs and the cleaner, who presumably live together, have conversations on arbtalk while in the same house, maybe even the same room? What's wrong with just talking to each other, rather than on here for all to see? Is this the beginnings of a venture into exhibitionism?! :eek:

Ah ha, a quick google search later and.... https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/leisure/countryside/WhiteRoseForest/pdf/treesFromNurseryToIndependenceInTheLandscape.pdf ...that should do the trick, and save you a couple hundred quid!

Looks like a copy of 3998 to me, handy for someone though I'm sure...

Going on those pics I'd have said Laeti, very common on cherry too. When it goes white like that in age (it doesn't always) it tends to also become somewhat 'crumbly' in texture, some say like cheese...

Flammulina and Armillaria entirely possible...

Maybe one day, it's certainly not a sign removal is imminent though...

Common near me in the south east, yes, don't know about elsewhere. It's not uncommon for the scales to be eaten by beasties or washed off as the caps grow...

Pholiota squarrosa again I reckon, did it smell 'radish like'?
