    Yeah that would not be nice for the olive growers, surely there is some sort of insurance for that. But then again maybe not. On ADB - Agreed, what I cannot understand is that it has been known about in Europe since 1992, but I can't find anything as regards what the result was over there and the steps they took in Europe. I have seen some ash falling apart due to fairly usual canker, but at the same time symptoms of ADB are also prevalent on the same tree which I am sure has helped the falling apart. The Tree Council issued an Action plan kit for use, but again it does not describe how ADB evolved in places where it has already happened. Lots of big ash around my way are close to dead with a few very big ash already kicked the bucket. So waiting to see what happens to them. Saying that though when speaking with non-tree people, they have no idea what I am talking about when I tell them about ADB so it is not really a well known issue as yet in England imho.

    Was talking to an Italian chap this morning about Xillela, big deal in one of the Italian regions. Millions of Olives totaled with it. Supposedly they were slow on the take up of stopping it. Sounds a little like the ADB situation. Not to be political about it.

    looks like it has had a fair bit taken off of it in the past.

    Were these already dead oaks? Interesting if not as the pinhole borer normally goes for dead wood I believe. Or else severely stressed or dying trees.

    Liquidambar trees have quite or very brittle wood, they snap out very easily without the need for strong winds. Ours lose sections out of them regularly unfortunately. Nice trees but brittle wood. You mentioned you had planted them 12" away from your retaining wall. Not sure that they are going to be too happy rooting into such a small space. Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm for your project but the roots won't be able to go very far on the retaining wall side which will weaken the stability of the trees eventually. On a long term basis say 50 years or so the trees will be big by then.

    Over in East Grinstead, West Sussex, I think its our worst year yet. Leaves been falling off the trees for weeks and more signs of the leaf minor than ever before.

    Have had a lot of lammas growth on the young oaks around where I work. Haven't noticed too much of it before this year, don't know if it is related to last years long heat wave period. Have had a number of other things such as tulip trees flowering more so this year than previous and sweet chestnuts flowering like there's no tomorrow!! whats it all about?

    Are they old pollards?
  20. AJStrees
    looks like the species. Does it have a smell to it?
  21. AJStrees
    spooky

    If you don't mind me asking, what price is a crane job like that going to cost the customer who wants the tree removed?
  23. AJStrees
    Nice job!
  24. AJStrees
    Nice look like some old estate trees judging by the old iron fencing in the back ground. Great find!

    Reading the symptoms of Ash dieback, the pathogen stops the flow of fluid and nutrients to the tree and as a result the tree dies. One of the side affects is said to be that the trees once dead shatter to pieces when they are felled. Potentially the dieback is making ash more brittle than ever.
