  4. What a stroke of luck! Nice one Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Nice gesture Tony, looks a nice tree for sure. There's countless like this, old hedgerow oaks now alongside roads, around me. They seem to generally have enough grass verge either side to be doing ok. I'm sure some could do with a little work to prolong life before they fall apart though. More annoying is two 40-50 foot maiden oaks in a mature tree filled cemetery local to me (some cracking old trees in there) which lost a branch or two each in winds the other week - both now stumps! Seems such a panicky reaction, I'm just pleased not every mature tree that drops a branch in stormy weather is felled, be a pretty baren landscape if it was...

  7. Pollarding or reducing will not stop or slow the roots growing. What sort of damage is being caused, direct or subsidence? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Staverton?!

    Hi all, I'm going to be passing close to Staverton for a job Thursday, I'm hoping it'll be a quick one and I'll have a few hours spare to look around. Now, I can find sod all info on where the best bits are! This has been a must visit place for a while now and a proper visit will be paid at some point. But for now, if you only had a few hours to spare there, where would it be and how do you get there?! Feel free to PM if you prefer. Thank you. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

  22. Generally it's most advanced near the fruiting bodies, but decay can extend above and below quite extensively. Woodpecker holes are often a good indication of the lower points of hispidus decay; as they like to go in and then up to nest where it's dry. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. It can persist on main stems/branches for many years without failure. Depends partly on vitality of the tree, and what sort of forces (eg from overextended branches/sudden increased exposure from nearby tree loss) the infected sections are loaded with.

  24. If the cracks are only in the outer layer of bark they could be expansion cracks, the start of fissures as the tree grows and 'stretches' the bark. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Make your own squash/cordial/wine/jam/sell them? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app
