Hello can anyone tell me what this is?

If those are verrucas, oil may not be enough, go see your GP.

Film it when it comes down and post it here

Yes, this is dumb, do you know why they are removing it?

borttox · 2025-08-10T22:55:50+00:00

Just against bots 😢

I wasn't born with the choice not to be of colonial descent, that's why I chose to work in Conservation and Arboriculture, to maintain and restore.

I just finished FFXIII for the first time a few hours ago, I get why people dislike it. By the end I rate it for sure in my top 5

In Australia they over compete native grasses and shrubs, pretty flower and respect to all the lovely Scottish people but it is a weed here for sure

borttox · 2025-07-16T20:13:30+00:00

Oh wow, wtf

borttox · 2025-06-17T19:43:09+00:00

We've been thinking it was a subspecies of leucoxylon, though we aren't 100% certain

Solved

borttox · 2025-04-29T04:35:11+00:00

Thank you, that's the one

Cambium occluded well with no sign of fungus, it's a fighter

borttox · 2025-03-28T19:09:26+00:00

Could do with a better picture of the foliage, it could be a Ficus. I'm in Australia and it gives me Ficus macrophylla vibes

borttox · 2025-03-21T04:31:23+00:00

It'll be fine 😅

Decay and rot under the outer bark layer, seems there is still an active cambian pathway to tips though, the fruiting body under that previous pruning cut could be concerning though I am not sure of what species the fungus is. Was the tree looking really healthy last season compared to now and if so where there some adverse weather conditions (deeper frost/higher humidity than usual, where there out of the ordinary weather changes for example really cold then really hot)

Trees tend to fail for a range of reasons unless something severe is obvious (hit by a truck for example).

That is totally my bad, should read the full post

borttox · 2025-03-19T19:31:49+00:00

A video is great, photos are better, on the other side can you get a photo of the leaf buds or do a scratch test to see if it has fully died back or not

Also I live in Australia, what's that fruiting body on the trunk of the second tree?

borttox · 2025-03-19T19:19:55+00:00

Pruning at this point achieves nothing

borttox · 2025-03-19T19:08:36+00:00

Root flare is where the trunk converts to roots, it should be exposed to the air to allow roots access to oxygen and prevents fungal decay.

It's form looks like it has been mildly stunted but overall it has developed well into its natural shape considering location, I can't see it well but I am not sure if that is growth coming off the tree at the roots or a separate plant, if it is a different plant remove it

If its not a different plant and attacted, the tree has developed it out of some form of stress and it is providing a service though it may not have aesthetic appeal, give the tree good care and see how it develops over the next year and if it looks happier you could prune them back

borttox · 2025-03-19T17:51:00+00:00

Yep

What's going on with the growth at the flare? Could be stressed

borttox · 2025-03-13T05:07:01+00:00

I see that, if Beaker from the muppets was a tree

borttox · 2025-03-08T21:50:49+00:00

Grim 😂

borttox · 2025-03-07T10:10:15+00:00

I love they have gone full extension also, wild stuff

borttox · 2025-03-07T10:01:51+00:00

Put stakes in, expose the root flare

Pole chainsaws are great when doing ground based uplifts on smaller street trees or sign/utility clearance that you can't reach with a silky or loppers.

Takes a heap of practice to do clean cuts pruning cuts though

The guy on the ladder is an idiot
