D, there was a Dawn Redwood at the cottage we stay stay at near Grasmere for at least the twenty years we have been there. Sadly, this year it had gone. Is this horticultural vandalism, or has there been a disease specific to them?More the opposite to disease. They have no pests and diseases, as they are from a remote part of China. Dendrophiles plant them as ornamentals before they have any real idea of how big they will grow. A similar story happens with Blue Atlas Cedars, which people think are some sort of dwarf conifer. The result is that they outgrow their setting, and get felled.

Good tree.

Aye, Widdybank Farm in upper Teesdale, which is owned by the Raby Estate, used to be festooned with the things. It was like dead mole bunting.
Cork trees in a garden we stayed at in Costa Brava recently.

Hoping to get a camping spot at Stourhead next Monday. Maybe I've missed "peak Autumn" there though.I took that photo yesterday, so you should be ok.

From a stroll along the Epping Forest Centenary Walk (main post (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10.msg2521271#msg2521271)). Lots of interesting trees to be seen.
Can anyone explain this pattern?

You can identify the species by the pattern and tree species. I have a field guide somewhere that pinpoints which one.
