Hi Peter=2C we have one beech that has progressed slowly during the last 28=
years=3B presently its main trunk is approximately 20cm in diameter. This =
year it seems to be doing very well along with a few younger descendants/si=
blings. It is among maple=2C beech=2C spruce=2C pine=2C oak=2C trees at var=
ious stages of development.=20
The base of the beech converges with a large pine with a main trunk approxi=
mately 50cm in diameter. The pine trunk has pushed the beech trunk to about=
20 degrees from vertical=2C however=2C it seems that this is not doing the=
beech any harm. From the path=2C through this 65 acre mixed woodland=2C w=
e recall that the beech trees appear younger than most of the other species=
although until you inquired about their status we have not given them much=
more thought than to distinguish them as a species for the benefit of our =
grandchildren.
Cheers=2C Barbara and Pat=20

Subject: [NatureNS] Beech fungus (?) damage
Here in Waverley=2C the Beech trees have suffered some sort of attack by=2C=
perhaps=2C a fungus. The tips of the leaves are curled and brown=2C and th=
ere are white threads on the brown areas. The damage is so severe and unive=
rsal that beech trees can be recognized at a considerable distance by the d=
iscolouration of the foliage.
I've lived here for over 30 years and this is the first time that I have se=
en this. I wonder if our very wet Spring had anything to do with it.
You can see a couple of photos of the damage here . I'm interested in knowi=
ng if this problem has occurred anywhere else in the province=2C and of cou=
rse if anyone has any theory about what the damage is due to=2C that would =
be interesting as well.
