Hey Guys 2 trees I’m extremely precious about as I grew up and lived in this property; where my brother now lives with his family. Pedunculate Oak and Copper Beech. Oak 100-150 years and beech similar or older. My question is how well will these 2 trees react to a pollard or heavy crown reduction. Pollarding to 5-6 metres. They both have no competition as the conifer in the photo is at least 15 metres away. Sorry about the poor photo of the oak. PS The house is called Beechwood!

Please leave at front of house. Either on drive or on grass.

Can anyone identify this fungi please? Photos not great. It has gills (not pores) and is off white cream on cap and cream to very light brown gills. Stem same colour. Cap approximately 10-15cms diameter. Growing on a 40-50 year old beech in South Yorkshire and taken 6 November 2023.

Based in South Yorkshire a beech tree (40cm dbh) has shown earlier leaf drop in mid-July. Whilst I understand that this was a very dry spell and the soil here is clay based a beech (similar sized) 10 metres away hasn’t shed its leaves. Also there’s some epicormic growth appeared from the trunk at 2M high. The branches are still supple and not brittle right throughout the canopy. Obviously this tree is closer to the drive so suffers more compaction to roots (see photos). The leaf pictures are the lowest epicormic growth.

I noticed this on my hedge this morning. Although leaves are still turning yellow the mild weather has prompted the Beech to start coming back into leaf. I've also noticed some flowers appearing on my Laurel hedge and I still have Raspberries fruiting. Is anyone else noticing unusual things happening with their plants with this mild weather?

I had an emergency call out this afternoon from a customer. A prime example of what happens when a defect union is left. This mornings strong winds were too much for it. A conifer below saved the house behind from a damaged roof. A huge shame because the tree was beautiful. VID-20240823-WA0008.mp4

Hi All, I have a couple of large logs available for milling in west Strilingshire. One beech: c. 1m at the butt, relatively little taper, c. 10m length. One oak: c. <1m at the butt, some taper to >60cm, c. 10m length. One beech: c. 60cm at the butt, c. 50cm at the tip, c. 5m length. These are from a clearance / firewood job, but seem far too good to put the saw through (with the exception of the 2nd beech). They are basically free to anyone who wants them (I've had what I need from the job), would probably suit a woodmizer or similar. If anyone's interested, or you think you know someone who might be, pm me through here. I can get some photo's or arrange for you to come and see them.

Hello! I've been asked to mill up this beech and he is in-tree-gued about what might come out of it. I suspect it might contain a couple of pockets here and there, but I've never millled beech so cant really help. Any ideas! and He's got an Oak which is still standing with some crown die-back and wants to know about how long it should be felled before sawing. I am new to sawing and have an idea but thought I'd check before telling him the wrong things! Isn't it best to mill stuff straight after its been felled? Does anyone know of a book detailing various tree types and their milling qualities, hidden quirks, which are prettyest? bascially everything to do with milling. If not I thought I might try and get loads of info from everyone on here and write one. All help and ideas greatly appreciated!

Hiya. We are based near Bordon, Hampshire. We had a number of trees felled last April and kept a few of the tree trunks (ends were PVA’d at the time). We are knocking our house down to rebuild later this year and had hoped to use some of the wood in the new house. But costs are running away with us (and we haven’t even started the build yet!) so unfortunately bespoke staircases, etc, have become a luxury we simply can’t afford. The wood available is listed below. It may not all be suitable for milling (any that isn’t we will retain for logs). Anybody interested? Some photos attached - more available to e-mail if required. Pennies gratefully received into house fund. Thanks.

Hi, --- has anyone much experience with reducing overgrown Beech hedges, and what I could do with this one? - It had been kept at about 6' and the young couple now looking after it would like it back if possible. Most books say – cut top first year, one side the following year and t'other the next, preferably with a good feed and mulch the year before you start. I'm not so sure - I did a well kept but gotten too wide Beech three years ago – cut back one side maybe 15” - and its only now really filling in. And the trouble with this very overgrown one is that there's little growth on the back side as it faces a dark conifer wood Sorry about poor pictures – The Beech is over 20 foot. Second pic is taken from behind.

Hi, Could anyone help me identify this fungus fruiting body? Found at the base of a common beech. Brackets are black/greyish on top & Browny/White/Orange underneath. Cheers
-
Just wondering what advice people would have for this Beech I looked at today. At the cavity (pictured) I'd say the main stem is approx 70% hollow accross and hollow from cavity to below ground level . No signs of fungi. The owner would like to retain the tree. Thanks.

Has anyone else noticed some European Copper beech trees having different bark texture that is more textured, almost ribbed? I believe this to be Fagus sylvatica f. Purpurea or am I mid-identifying? It’s growing right next to a copper beech with normal smooth nark. I’ve seen this on a few specimens in the South Yorkshire area in domestic gardens.
-
Please identify. I’m certain what it is but want confirmation please for insurance purposes.

Hi All, Came across these FFBs beneath a beech & sycamore yesterday, fruiting on the ground surface within about 1 - 2.5m of the stems. They look ganoderma 'ish to me but I've not come accross any gano sp. fruiting on the ground before. There were no FFBs on the stems and both trees appeared in good vitality; no symptoms of decline in the canopy that would suggest major root dysfunction. The fruiting bodies were perennial and about 100-150mm in size. Also noted what i believed to be symptoms of quite a significant girdling root on the beech, due to very pronounced flattening of the lower stem. I'm hoping the client will fork out for us to go in with an airspade and take a look. Any guidance on the fungus much appreciated. There are a few few photos! D
