| Re: Can someone tell me what kind of tree this is? Does any one know what the spots are on the leaves? Tar Spot fungus would be my guess but we don't have these trees round here. Is it a common problem with Populus alba?

| Re: Can someone tell me what kind of tree this is? thanks for your help! I am sorry I don't know much about trees YET (hoping you guys and the web will help me with that). Do you think that will be a good sturdy walking stick, or is it to soft or weak? Thanks! |

| Re: Can someone tell me what kind of tree this is? Look at the scrub trees in your area. The ones that seem to have fallen over and sprouted again are potentially the ones to target.? Find out what 'coppices' and grows not too fast, they make the best sticks. Corylus, Crataegus and Prunus spinosa and Fraxinus make the sticks here. |
