hi.............only just found this, this site is great!!
looked at a very mature cedar of lebanon yesterday........client worried about its health although doesnt want to lose his prize specimen tree...... there is excessive sap production which appears to be bleeding from 3 different places on the lower half of the trunk.........however no visible damage anywhere around bleed points.
the tree has been losing sap for 3 yrs altho worsr now..........
lowest large lateral branch going yellow............
evidence of decay around base with hollow sound on one side at base............
this is a big tree and its within house squishing distance of this guys property..................
personally i think the tree is a hazard purely down to the state of the trees base however I have not seen sap bleeding like this before and would appreciate any input as to why you think this might be happening.........
on the plus side...........if i get the job there is so much sap i wont need a rope and harness...... i can climb this one in a kind of spiderman stylee..............
thanks for your help............ ian
