    I would have to agree with Mr H. But did you happen to see the colour underneath?
  2. AJStrees
    Morus alba looks close so White Mulberry could be the one then. Interesting. Not seen one I don't think.
  3. AJStrees
    is it Celtis of some sort?
  4. AJStrees
    Yes indeed it does look very much like willow. I always try to find out what it is before I cut it down in case its something special. LOL!
  5. AJStrees
    That is a nice sized tree. Might be good habitat for ecological purposes.
  6. AJStrees
    Very nice trees when old and big. Thuja plicata, not a true Cedar as such and not of the genus Cedrus but of Thuja. Yes lovely smell it has and beautiful bark (in my opinion). Good pics.

    can anyone id what the fungi is?
  8. AJStrees
    Indeed it has. I was trimming some of the holly off of it a few weeks back. I am wondering if the holly was in fact helping to hold the tree up. There were no obviously visible signs of decay looking at the tree before it failed.

    This prunus is flowering nicely, but over the weekend it collapsed. Looking inside, it is very evident that there is fungi through the heartwood and the tree has failed due to this. Here are some photos. Haven't yet ID'ed the fungi but am guessing it is a common heartwood rotting fungi.

    Looks like Cedrus atlantica 'glauca' to me. There are 3 of them on the estate I work on. Cones looks the same. There were a few hundred saplings under one of them this year. Growing a load for later. Will have some to pass on or sell in about 5 years.

    looks like the understorey there is coming away quite well with all those juveniles growing beneath him. It was interesting to note that bracing.
  12. AJStrees
    I'd go with that.

    If they were newly planted, were they watered and did they get settled in? It probably is as is being said aphid or blight but if they are recently planted or planted within the last year, we have had little to no rain down here, how has it been up there in sunny yorkshire? Just saying, innit....
  14. AJStrees
    Yeah that would help. I am not expert but good photos tell the whole story. Or they sometimes say a thousand words.
  15. AJStrees
    Thats a whole lotta fungi.
  16. AJStrees
    Probably prunus spinosa, but could be avium, panicles seem similar, though without clear pictures and bark, its all a little bit like guess work. ?
  17. AJStrees
    the only thing I know that look similar is a some of the Cornus flowers, but it might be something else entirely.
  18. AJStrees
    Could tell better seeing the leaves, but my guess is either Nigra or a hybrid version of it.

    Great work indeed. What boots are you using? Did you have the whole tree prepared with the speed line before you got going fully or did you do it bit by bit?
  21. AJStrees
    Lovely!
  22. AJStrees
    A good selection there. Thanks for sharing. I will have a good look through and see which ones I can name and study those that I don't know. Fungi is a very interesting subject, I have to agree.
  23. AJStrees
    Hi David, Interesting to see. At the time before felling was there any specific testing done on that tree? Just wondered if you were able to know what degree of decay was already underway or was it just too risky due to the obvious fungal brackets on the outside?
  24. AJStrees
    No real way of telling from that picture. In the desiccated state that it is. Though it may have been Grifola frondosa species by the colour of what remains.
  25. AJStrees
    The Canadians are nesting, well one pair are. Whooper swans are thinking about it and most of the mallards are out nesting somewhere around the estate. Will put up some photos when things get going. The drakes are all grouped together waiting with bated breath......
