Tree down

The damaged tree on Clay Hill Green, noticed at reference 1, was condemned and taken down earlier this week. Maybe someone will see fit to replace it.

Maybe the threads visible bottom right are fungus - and the cause of the condemnation.

Will the trunk be left as a beetle preserve, a small contribution to eco-diversity? I rather doubt it: the form seems to be to leave the trunks around for a few months, for long enough for us to get used to them, perhaps for the stump, or even the trunks to shoot (willows being quite strong in the shooting department) and then to ship them out.

PS: with the bottom snap, viewed from a suitable distance, being not that far from a bit of roast beef.
