I'm no expert. In Brittany I saw thousands of hedgerow oaks with longhorn exit holes. Fairly low down on trunk, About 8-12mm diameter. You could put your little finger in. Cut up hundreds of infected trees. Like wooden Swiss cheese with pupae the size of your middle finger. It could be European or Asian longhorn or something else entirely. When I saw the photos it reminded me of France. What else could do that to a tree?

Those aren't bore holes, Those are exit holes.

Which region of France is the woods in?

The site is huge, It's on a race course/park/college grounds. It's ridiculously busy. Can't fence off the whole place[emoji51](we tried) I presume the guy was walking his dog and looking at the log stacks. He's a cabinet maker, said he understands the value of tools to a tradesman. Steve, I see your point.[emoji51] I'm under no illusions. It's just nice when good shit happens occasionally. [emoji106]

It looks perfect. In my eyes, I wouldn't touch it. Nature is thriving. Wood land with masses of windblown and dead trees is great for biodiversity. Inaccessible woodland means dog walkers and ramblers won't disturb it. A proper sanctuary. Be gentle with your plans. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

This stick came easy. But the other oak behind was heavily back weighted and leaning a bit backwards Didn't have time to vid. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Yesterday evening the boss forgot a 362 on site. Not there this morning. He was pissed off. Shit happens. About 11 o'clock this morning a bloke pulls up gets out holding a 362. My mate found this here last night he said before driving off. The mate, came over at midday. He got thanked profusely and drinks were paid for. [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

(The river in Paris is called the seine, breasts in French are sein. Similar pronunciation) [emoji23][emoji106]

I worked on a boat in Paris when a lot younger. To find it on my first day, I walked into the nearest tourist office and asked "Ou est les sein?" Got a funny look from the lady behind the counter. [emoji12][emoji106]

Difflock, if you're into growing peaches. Have a look on google images for the peach walls of Paris. It's mental. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
