Possible tree desease
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. |

Thanks Bob. Hi Bob, Not at all sure about this, unless it could be dead/blackened Coral Spot Fungus ...? If so, you are right to keep it away from your garden just in case there are some viable spores on it. Sorry not to be more help. Spider |
Thanks,
I think i will keep it away from the garden just to be on the safe side. bob "Spider" wrote in message ... bob whitehead wrote in message ...
