Plenty of Douglas on the New Forest, some from the 1860's too, but I've never seen them with seedlings in the bark crevices.

No, I cannot recall seeing seedlings on this scale before. Several trees had them but I uploaded this image of four different species plus the ferns. I guess they'll die off in a long dry spell but there again, they've survived this summers dry spells.

There have been threads about seedling growing in odd places on WAB before, but four species on one tree is my personal best!

Thanks for your comment Deer Stalker.
