I thought this was a shear-ious thread, no puns please.
-
There was a thread on fasciation, but this isn't that. Apparently, after some googling, I see you can get a Tilia platyphyllos 'tortuosa'. Although this was a sizable mature lime just inside a wooded area, so I'd be surprised if it was planted...
-
Very highly unlikely at this location. I did notice a few scattered scale insects, some on the affected twigs, some not; I'm not convinced they have anything to do with it though...
-
Anyone come across this on lime twigs before? Mostly on the epicormic and lower branches (as far as I could see), a lot of the previous year's twists had partly died, or died beyond the twist.
-
Nice. Is it as it came off the tree, or have you shaped it a little toward the bottom?
-
I bought some new shoes from a drug dealer this morning. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day...
-
Not good. It always looked a wonderful place, one of many many all over the world. Oh well...
-
Looking good, the last one is sweet. What species?
-
Some serious fruiting there. Whatever happened following the felling/timber extraction there, how's the ecology responded?
-
Well, get some pics up! How's Bulgaria treating you? Well I hope.
-
Pictures would certainly be good. I still don't understand why you need to be more accurate though. It was recently surveyed, nothing noted, it then falls and the insurance company get involved - correct? If my assumptions are correct I'd expect the insurance company covering the damage to take it up with the surveyor, if they wanted to.
-
Bargain!
-
Definitely branch walk out and drop it in smaller bits, you don't want a branch that size ripping down the trunk or trapping your saw. Presumably you'll have a second climber with you, as best practice and especially as you're outside of your comfort zone. Maybe they can guide you? Good luck...
-
Even with no fruiting body, it still be Merip. Or Armillaria, or anything else! Is the need to know just curiosity?
-
No worries. I've got no idea how qgis works, but good luck with it!
-
Good answer, also welcome to the forum Arbanner! Just to toss another thought out here - I've never seen Kretz on any stem less than about 30 or 40cm diameter. I suspect it needs the bigger diameter/older wood to colonize, which a smaller newly planted tree wouldn't have. So lime is liked, let loose the planting spade...
-
Mr Island, if you want to email the file to me I can see if I can convert it for you. I'm guessing you want it as a dxf?
-
Cheers, might have to hunt a cheap copy down. The new Klaus, Mynors and a couple of random old ID books in the last month has just about done my book budget for the time being!
-
The title appeals is it an old book? Not come across it before...
-
Good heads up I tried qgis and another cheapo one before I settled on Pear Tech's. It's expensive, but for a technophobe like me the training and telephone support is invaluable!
-
New Sylva looks a good'un. So many good books, so little book shelf space! Nope, sorry...
-
Ah, big story about not a lot then. I suppose if they didn't do it people would complain they didn't sort it out!
-
I'm still reading it through, and I've just read through the summer branch drop pages. I thought the jury was still out on causes (or if it even exists!) and yet Klaus puts his theory across in a way that just makes sense. No references though. The whole book is excellently written, short, sharp and to the point...
-
Would you bother retaining/managing the decline?

Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me one bit... -
Not good, I'll keep an eye out. I've heard of another chainsaw theft a few weeks ago, also in colchester, and second time the guy got done within a year...
