(Pales in comparison to other losses, not comparable.)
So many trees have come down in Storm Eunice, and a bit before before than in Arwen, which also had a red warning. Dudley will have brought its own damage.
Perhaps we want to talk about our beloved trees, cherished garden trees, trees we walked past everyday, trees we cared about. Perhaps they can still be helped, perhaps they will have fresh shoots from the remaining stools/stumps.
We may as amateurs even see some patterns , which trees did well, whether they had previously been damaged, did they show signs of decay, were they planted by landscapers as large specimens, or planted as acorns by jays (unlikely that anyone alive would know though). Was the ground around them trampled, ploughed, or fertilised? (Fertiliser interferes with natural fungi relationships and we are only just learning about such mutual benefits)
Did the trees fall at the beginning of the storm, or after sustained winds, or did they survive one storm, weakened, and fall in the next?
I am putting this in weather as the main driver is the storms, but we can move it if you wish.
