Equisetum @ 19:47…….New Sitka Spruce growth

Posted by silverngold @ 22:49 on June 1, 2015  

Thanks for posting it. That new growth looks very substantial to me. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of. It has been many years now since I’ve seen our stand so I imagine with thinning etc it has become a small forest rather than a substantial trial. Occasionally we would get a weevil that would destroy that new growth, but only occasionally and only the odd tree. Seems it was root collar weevil but maybe not since they normally only attack close to the roots. Just too many years in the past for me to remember accurately now. When whatever weevil it was that attacked, it killed the new growth and the tree would then sometimes form several tops creating a bushy effect from previous growth but I think might have also ruined the tree for future timber.
