Hi, did some tree felling recently in order to thin out a plantation
of 200 trees, the free was a turkey oak abour 15ft tall and
disfigured. when felled to make way for other better specimens the
remaining logs and stump had black veined stains. I have never seen
this before. Does anybody know what it is?
