the really big hornbeam saga, part 4

Only one year lter in February 2007 there is reason for hope again. But unfortunatley only superficially. The fungis was here again. Most of the dead parts had these typical bright red spots. So again I had to make a decsion. All the deadwood had to go and the tree had to be hollowed out. And then there is this long straigt upper part of the trunk without taper, withoud movement, not sexy at all.
