    Thank you.

    Looks really cool, though wondering what it is. Only thing similar I know is Bjerkandera adusta. The Sorbus is dead, by the way. I suspect the crown reduction killed it. Fungi on Sorbus x thuringiaca - Imgur

    First one is Fraxinus spp.. I consider it to be Fraxinus pennsylvanica (green ash), though can anyone confirm (I looked mainly as the leaf scar and bud coloration)? As for the (suspected) Crataegus spp., really no clue - potentially crus-galli, though the fruits are perhaps too large? Fraxinus spp. - Imgur Crataegus spp. - Imgur For very large images (proper size), mousewheel click the images to open in a new tab. Fraxinus spp. bud pictures are very large.

    Wonderful opportunity, and best of luck with the management. How rare it is to come across a Rob Darken photo on Arbtalk.

    For some, that might be a Tree of Heaven... Hah.

    That's appalling. Lodge a complaint with the Council over this and question the system they have in place. That's beyond absurd to have as standard protocol for TPO/S211 enquiries.
  7. Kveldssanger
    Absolutely. I am always welcoming of calls from contractors enquiring as to whether a tree is TPO'd. The lady should have been aware they were preserved. That aside, you should always check - call the Planning Department at the council in question and it's literally going to take you two minutes.

    Fungi in a copse of oak (once was a woodland) - Imgur I almost know for definite the one that looks like a potato is Scleroderma spp., though can someone confirm it's the citrinum species? As for the others - any assistance? One might be an Armillaria (growing from the stump), though else I am stuck. Not too great with my fungi. Was fascinated by the absurd amount of mycorrhizal fungi around these oaks (maybe 20 Quercus robur (one mature, the rest much younger), a lapsed Acer campestre coppice and one Sorbus torminalis (very likely an offpsring of more mature specimens within the nearby nature reserve)). Cheers.

    Thank you very much. Great website, also. Bookmarked it.

    Salix x sepulcralis 'Chrysocoma' - Imgur Some oiks kicked the base out, too.
  11. Kveldssanger
    Oops, I meant hybrid black at the end there, not grey.
  12. Kveldssanger
    It could well be a Betula pubescens - it was the glands that threw me, and the leaf shape seemed slightly different to what I would expect on a B. pubescens. As for the poplar - I really haven't a clue how many varieties of grey poplar there are, though the leaf shape is surely too different to what would be anticipated for it to be of this species? Maybe it's a Populus x canadensis var. serotina, as that leaf is pretty similar - just a thought, if it is a grey?

    I came across these two species last week, and am having trouble identifying them. I am unsure whether I have over-thought the birch one, as the underside of the leaf has the black 'glands' that the paper-bark birch is known for having. The stem is also slightly downy. Betula papyrifera? - Imgur The poplar has the bark of an aspen and the leaf shape of a hybrid black. No idea what it is! Also very columnar with a (near) perfectly straight trunk. Populus spp. - Imgur Thanks, guys.

    Soon there will be a chair that's just the stump of a felled silverleaf maple someone dug out of the ground...
  15. Kveldssanger
    It sure is! Was interesting to see them consider it for trees, also.
  16. Kveldssanger
    BBC News - Garlic injection could tackle tree diseases Just saw this on the main news channel - sounds rather interesting, if not costly!
  17. Kveldssanger
    Looks good - thanks.
  18. Kveldssanger
    Many thanks for this. I took a cutting so will see if it takes - if it does, it's going in the garden.
  19. Kveldssanger
    Thanks, both of you.

    Album 1 - Broad Leaved Cockspur Thorn? - Imgur Pretty confident it's a Broad Leaved Cockspur Thorn, but just checking as I've not personally seen one before. Album 2 - Unknown tree - Imgur Album 3 - Winter flowering cherry, perhaps? - Imgur Album 4 - Unknown shrub - Imgur Sorry to add a shrub - lady says she thinks it was from Australia. 2 & 3 cross posted from the main picture forum as I feel it may have more success here. I am not entirely sure if the same guys who browse the picture forum browse this one.
  21. Kveldssanger
    You know what - it may well be Fistulina hepatica. I did consider it being the beef steak, though the colour / texture and the fact it was actively 'bleeding' made me double-take and perhaps think a little too much. I couldn't see evidence of a bracket anywhere on the floor - this almost looks as if the main fruiting body has come away?

    See album here - Quercus robur fungi - Imgur

    The borough I work in is laden with ash and there are many instances where the crowns are thin throughout the summer. Very much akin to this ash on the right hand side.
  24. Kveldssanger
    I looked at it in spring and then summer - it never produced any fruit whatsoever, and I do not recall blossom akin to what one would expect from a pear. It's really bugging me. If anyone wants specific photos of parts of the tree, let me know and I'll provide them.
  25. Kveldssanger
    My only reservation was the very downy, white stems and the almost shrub-like appearance - then again, it may be because it was in a brick planter that wasn't very wide whatsoever. I can get more photos if people need - I frequently do inspections in the area.
