NY9454 : Rogue spruce, Slaley Forest
taken 3 years ago, 4 km WSW of Coalpits Grange, Northumberland, England
Rogue spruce, Slaley Forest
This area on the edge of Slaley Forest has been clear cut and not replanted, so the remaining stumps are rotting away nicely, providing habitat for numerous invertebrates and the birds which feed on them. The proximity of serried ranks of alien Sitka Spruce provides a much bigger input of seeds than do sparser and more distant natives, so this Sitka Spruce has taken advantage of the ungrazed space and daylight to establish itself.
