Title: Trees
Post by: Riggers on 29 June, 2011, 03:25:32 pm: The first few were taken at Hawkstone Park on Sunday

Now the next two or three show a Common Beech, and what a beauty it is. It was like standing inside a living cathedral looking up next to the trunk.

Sadly, we now have a section of Beeches down here in Brighton that have received the dreaded orange spot of doom, that will eventually mean they will be felled. These were taken in February of this year, and at the latter part of June, still remain. But for how long? They are still producing a full crown of leaves. We will never see their like again I fear. :'(

Post by: Riggers on 27 January, 2012, 10:04:46 am: One of our soldiers is down. Brought down in the recent high winds, and must have made a hell of a racket. Last February I photographed a number of Beeches near to us that have accepted the 'orange spot'. I guess here's the reason why:

Post by: Exit Stage Left on 27 January, 2012, 11:36:57 am: Tha's caused by a Ganoderma fungus, fruiting body apparent to the left of the orange spot. Hard to to tell which species, although Ganoderma applanatum would be consistent with the rot.

So I was able to admire the diptych of a Dawn Redwood and a Gingko, both Chinese trees which can be described as 'Living Fossils'. The site manager thought the Metasequoia was a Swamp Cypress, an easy mistake to make.

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.

Post by: Peter on 09 August, 2013, 01:01:09 am: That's a real shame. We loved that tree, although it was out of place. There used to be about six in the well of a roundabout in Rochdale until one of the annual re-alignments of our roads caused them to be felled.

Post by: Exit Stage Left on 09 August, 2013, 09:54:40 am: There's always a rush to plant newly discovered trees, the current favourite is Wollemi Pine. There is no way of knowing how big they might grow in our conditions.

It's the coolest hollow tree ever! Open at the top with one natural hole in the above-ground roots, someone's taken a chainsaw and cut a square window/door in it. Inside is all black, whether from lightning strike, fires lit by Merry Men and Outlaws, or something else, I don't know. The only regret is the 'door' is a bit too small for an adult to get in.

Never did understand gibbets: moles are practically blind anyway, so how on earth are they supposed to be frightened by this? Maybe it's just the heroic molecatcher advertising his prowess.

Again, a great tree!

Post by: ferret on 01 November, 2014, 09:50:57 pm: the gibbet was the way that a gamekeeper or under keeper showed he was doing his job back in the day of the great estates, all "pests" would be hung in a prominent place, this way his lordship would see that the pest control was being carried out without having to come into any unnecessary contact with the grubby keepers it would also advertise the keepers skill in his job to all who passed by, there was also quite a healthy "trade" of dead things between keepers. Although not illegal it is naturally frowned upon these days and people who partake in this pointless exercise are advised that if they must hang the pests up to do it out the way of the general public, there are of course all the old wives tales about hanging shot crows up to scare off the living ones, hadn't actually heard the one about the moles tho' but I would imagine it would be to do with the smell rather than sight ? :)

It's now some sort of outdoor pursuit centre, and they're not there anymore. I guess it didn't fit in with the caretakers-of-the-land image the Rabies are trying to cultivate.

Dawn Redwoods have been quite popular in London as a street tree since the early 1980s. I'm not sure that whoever planted them had any clear idea of how quickly they grow, as these in Carey Street demonstrate.

There's a veritable forest of them at Canary Wharf.

Post by: Aunt Maud on 24 October, 2016, 06:52:43 am: Not a single tree, but a Hornbeam coppice with Oak standards at Cranham, Essex.

I used to play in this wood when I was 10 years old and it didn't look then like it does now, as it had been coppiced some 10 years earlier and was overgrown with underwood.

I went on a visit a couple of weeks ago for the first time in 40 years and there has been a startling transformation.

(http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b557/Bugloss/IMG_2086_zps0plpksxl.jpg)

There's a distinct wood bank which surrounds the wood and has the bank on the inside and ditch on the outside, which is typical for coppiced woodland, as it would need to be fenced in. There would have been a hedge on top of the wood bank to keep the deer and livestock out so as to preserve the valuable coppice shoots. All the hedgerow species are still there and make for an interesting contrast to the Hornbeam and Oak in the wood.

Wood Bank.

(http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b557/Bugloss/IMG_2087_zps637exwb3.jpg)

OK you say, what's remarkable about all this ?....

Well, the woods around Cranham appear in The Domesday Book, and the Hornbeam stools are a good 6 feet or more in diameter with their centre having decayed away, which makes the stools look like they're rings of trees and indicates that they have been cut many times. All of the stems in the same ring share the root system and DNA as the original tree.

The railway from Southend to London (built in 1885) splits the wood in two, so the wood easily pre-dates that, and there's an even older faint wood bank inside the existing coppice, suggesting that it's an ancient managed woodland and easily several hundred years old. It just goes to show that a tree doesn't necessarily need to be big, for it to be ancient.

Large Hornbeam Stool.

Looks like it's more than ready for another cut and a bit of hedge laying.
