Again thats a very valid point....use as a last resort...something I might not have thought of in a true emergency situation. Cheers

Thats a realy interesting point i hadn't thought of before...just assumed there would be some form of "Agent" surgeons would use to clean celox off? also raises the point are first aiders actually allowed to apply it to a casualty? first aiders are not supposed to apply potions or lotions to the casualty, saying that if it would save someones life I would not hesitate to use it? can anyone cast any light on this??? cheers Dave

Hey sorry man, reflecting back on my post I realise I may have affended:blushing: that was not my intention..I was purely curious as to how ben would miss the close community he was interacting with. ... as for forestry keeping you normal, six years of it had no affect on either myself or my family of singing potatoes.

Thanks Monkey D that gets me on the case:thumbup:

Often wondered, how do people like Ben feel when they go back to the dirge and grind of their own jobs, especially when you have involvement in such a close knit community. I would never give up that sense of being just for the promise of extra cash?? lifes too short gota enjoy it? Dave

Graft Chimeras are usualy expressed within botanical publications with a + symbol in front of the Generic name. graft chimeras are very rare but can occur spontainiously in nature. There are limitations to producing plants by grafting, for example the scion and rootstock have to be compatable (usually in the same generic group) in the case of +Laburnocytisus adami the parents of the chimera are members of the Fabaceae family and are therefore genetically alike. Usually it is not posible to graft unrelated species together as the internal anatomy of each parent is distinctly different .

Hi Bundle 2 Sorry but this may be a duplicate reply (ones just got lost in web space) if you use the terms spheroblast combined with tree in google books there are a number of relevant entrys that differ in their description of spheroblast. Some entries state they only occur in mature trees and vary in size from that of a pea to the size of a walnut? other references state that a spheroblast is a tumorous growth within the trees tissues (which directly links to your description). to add further confusion to the issue:confused1:we have a mature Prunus avium on site that has a spheroblast ( or not) the size of a tennis ball 3m up the main bole? love a good discussion regards Dave :thumbup:absit invidia
-
Hi Folks is that a spheroblast? a dormant bud whose diameter is increased every year by another ring of including annual growth?? judging by the location of the removed branch I would guess it was a lateral bud that did not develop?? just a guess??? dave

Hi Bundle love the link, the identification key is just what I need for my level 3 students

That looks like its failed at a graft union? Had the same thing happen last year on a big copper beech. sad to see such mature trees being lost:thumbdown: just keep planting new ones for my boy:thumbup:
