Morning Everyone.

As much as I can tell, yes, AI I just a fancy google search - it doesn't have any intelligence, just able to take all the results and work out the most common

That growth is Cerioporus squamosus. Yes decay has set in. Early days and not a fast mover. Maybe a decade or so before structrual integrity is compromised. Worrying about tree decay is pointless, you can't stop it. Worrying about harm or damage to people or property is a different matter. You haven't given any context, so the risk can't be assessed.

Not yet, it plays up briefly when setting up for the day then behaves, is the usual pattern.

Morning Team. Thankfully, the end of a week! Found a box of books etc from my old tree firm. Made me chuckle at the prices we charged and some of the cheque book stubs! Must all that kelter to the tip as it is of no use to anyone but an old boys memories! Enjoy your day and come home safe! Grisley, Bares.

Morning all . Happy Friday .

Worried that the structural integrity of the tree may be compromised. That rot might have set in. Does the fungus show up at the start of decay or at an advanced stage.

Morning campers! Starring to warm up here, another heatwave incoming. A little grinding job then back to the workshop to try and get some machinery back in working order. One more week before the holidays.

Happy Friday Arbtalkers 😉

Morning all. Less sightseeing yesterday, getting through the last of Floris now. Had one interesting job, a tree I reduced back from a building maybe 6 months ago. I remember it felt different climbing it, discovered why. One event happened, our long awaited delivery! Will get a proper look at it later today... Have a good one folks.

All it’s doing is averaging/summarising the things people have put on the internet. People. Average people. The people in the middle of the bell curve. Pig ignorant slags whose collective wit has probably already been harnessed to control the rods in nuclear reactors. I might move closer to one. Get it over with quickly. Christ we’ve cocked this planet up.

Cheers for that, although having watched it there was no mention of loler/puwer, I've emailed them to ask. Defo a good shout

Tree surgery? All that cutting and chipping? Hardest game in the world that. Done it meself you see, 30 years man and boy.

Something is fishy about the picture though, fungus stem doesn't appear from the edge of the cut like that. Doesn't exist anywhere else maybe because AI generated for the post.

ok, thanks for reply, although google reverse image search of the complete pic by cul de sac or road gives only the arbtalk as exact match. It may be something that is learning, as if Id asked a question I would have probably checked the site for a day or two after, even if no reply in the first few hours

I don't know a huge amount about all this AI stuff though, except that the big cost is providing training. I guess that asking questions and getting answers gives them more conversations to feed the beast, essentially for free - rather than paying people in India. So I guess the title comes from a ChatGPT type "generate a question for arborists" type prompt and it doesn't really understand grammar as such.

It's not hard, it's just that most don't want to pay the money. Vermeer 925 will smash everything in its size class, but you pay for the privilege. Still way cheaper than a groundy.

@Mick Dempsey I was mostly looking at the size of any potential machine, which sort of drew me towards the cheap ones. I do like the look of the MicroBull, it’s hard to find a good compromise between size and lifting capacity. Or something that will run more than 1 or 2 attachments

Mick the TW230 is the most popular chipper in the UK because we are all as thick as pig shit.

I think it’s too little lifting powers , good arb trolley will beat that easy!
