Interesting Tree Photos

I certain that sycamore at WIU has come up here before, but I'll be damned if I can use this search function to find ANYTHING.

Search functions on internet forums don't work. Didn't you know that?

This is a Tree-Of-Heaven I stitched up yesterday at work. My department head wanted to keep it...

This is the best I could do. 8 rods total.

3 vertical cracks- 12:00, 4:00, and 8:00

Goop from middle of tree...

8 rods later.

Canopy isn't in good shape either...

Franken-tree

Oh well, made for some good pictures!

That's the first I've heard of anybody ever wanting to save an Ailanthus... but hey, it's a tree. Nice work with the rods. It would be interesting to follow it year to year to see how it does. Seems to have a large decay column, was it topped or broken at some point?

 

[robinia]

Yeah, probably broken. Lots of construction-itis here.

We actually don't have many of these on campus so I can kind of see the point...

In truth, I'd really like to sideload it and make it fail now, just to see what happens with the rods!!! I'll be sure to post the pictures.

Wild grape climbing up a cherry:

I've never seen wild grape look and grow like wisteria before.

I deleted a bunch of photopucket pics and it screwed up this post. I'll have to redo them.

This is a bridge grafted Pinus armandii. You can see the old original stem severed on the left.

Here's the rest of the tree. No worse for the wear.

A couple reverted dwarf conifers.

Thuja occidentalis 'Techny'

Picea glauca 'Conica'
