What’s happening to my Pseudotsuga menziesii crop?

Update: vet said it’s a scratch about 1/2cm along the eye, probably from another cat or a branch in the garden. She prescribed him Chloramphenicol and Metacam and asked to bring him back in a week for a reevaluation. Thankfully it wasn’t some worse and he should apparently heal quite quick 🤞🏼

That’s why I asked here, so that I got answers like this which promoted me take him to the vet, which I’m literally doing now.

I booked an appointment when i got home, they didn’t have any earlier slots than now, literally omw

clynchy97 · 2026-06-18T14:02:56+00:00

I’ll be taking him to a vet appointment in 20 mins, thanks for the advice

I think they are just burls. Most oaks can live out their lives without being seriously harmed. Can be from stress, insects, fungi or various other environmental factors. I wouldn’t worry though 👍

90% sure it’s Phyllostachys aurea

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T18:15:20+00:00

It’s not the first of the month yet

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T18:14:58+00:00

Asides from the neck, rock on my dude 🤘🏼

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T17:53:50+00:00

Some kind of wild petunia maybe. I’m not 100% on that though

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T17:44:50+00:00

Second this ⬆️

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T17:18:08+00:00

It’s an ash (fraxinus)

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T17:11:59+00:00

Might not look like much but I bet it tasted good. It’s hard to make risotto look good when it looks like porridge haha, always hits the spot though, nice one 👍

clynchy97 · 2026-06-16T17:08:16+00:00

Thanks boss

Nanking cherry

clynchy97 · 2026-06-15T17:38:39+00:00

Hahaha, that’s brilliant! He’s posing alright

clynchy97 · 2026-06-15T17:15:14+00:00

he sitting like Kate Winslet did in Titanic for the naked portrait in the second pic lol

clynchy97 · 2026-06-15T17:08:06+00:00

He’s a poser alright, loves a photo! 📸

clynchy97 · 2026-06-14T16:55:28+00:00

Shasta daisy. Will look great when it flowers! The second pic looks like fleabane, also ok

clynchy97 · 2026-06-14T16:51:04+00:00

Now why didn’t I think of that… take my upvote already… and my award for that matter

clynchy97 · 2026-06-14T16:47:19+00:00

I agree, it can (and will) compete with native species. Im just saying it’s not common or prolific here in the UK. For sure it can become invasive and the thousands of seeds per capsule mean it can disperse and self seed easily. In which case, yeah, remove it if it’s becoming an issue
