Hi all

Sorry to be so vague but I have a few logs at home
some are ok while two or three seem to have these black seed like things on
the bark
The only description i can give is they look like poppy seeds only slightly
bigger.
So if you imagine a roll or 'french stick' covered in poppy seeds that is
what the log looks like.
When you rub something (even a hand) up and down the bark they come off.
I'm affraid i don't know what type of tree the logs are from.
I hope this rings a bell with someone who might know if this is a serious
problem or
just nature doing its bit.(the logs have been lying in a pile for a few
months)
At the moment the logs are in the garage,so i would rather not put the logs
into the garden till i'm
sure they pose no risk to other trees.

Thanks

Bob.
