    Yes Gary the gall population - will it continue to be high next year? Im no ecologist but I would expect the wasps to re infest year after year providing its has another Turkey Oak close enough and other factors are favourable. It would be interesting to compare the density of infestation on any neighbouring oaks. If neighbouring Oaks have a moderate infestation then this tree may have less vitality possibly due to other factors. If neighbouring Oaks have a similar infestation then I would speculate the reason for this would be favourable seasonal conditions and low P & D or predators.

    the cracks are called shake, very common in oak - the smell is from bacterial wetwood which is common in cracks

    Make a note of it Gary - it would be interesting to compare with next year

    I believe Sitka/ norwa spruce grows better here than in native scandanavia - obviously -low grade timber then but a huge market never the less

    yes Turkey oak - a common widespread tree - introduced as an ornamental tree! -why?
  17. Paul Cleaver
    Just turkey oak and our native oaks from what I remember - the knopper gall wasp needs the turkey oak to complete its life cycle
  18. Paul Cleaver
    yes see where your coming from
  19. Paul Cleaver
    yes annoyingly
  20. Paul Cleaver
    the adjectives pendunculate and sessile relate to this
  21. Paul Cleaver
    Today I collected a sprig sample from each our 2 native oak trees. It was a good opportunity to compare the two side by side as they both have developing acorns - I also got a bonus knopper gall on the pendunculate oak to boot.

    agreed - exclamation marks should be banned:001_smile:
  23. Paul Cleaver
    I used to love jobs like this

    you could try wounding the tree around the old pollard point to try and stimulate adventitious growth? -its worth a go surely

    the only think I don't like about lord of the rings is the name mount doom - sounds like something off some power rangers!!!
