yeah - severe drought years seem to cause a lot of movement on their own. -
Using Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers

But probably still less than the original tree if it was mature with 1m diameter trunk, and at that point if it's really causing a problem it would be back to the insurance company to sort. I'm always sceptical about felling and subsidence, doesn't seem like an equilibrium game anyway - but obviously don't know any specifics here. -

Using Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers

because the original aim was subsidence mitigation - imagine 10 years regrowth that thing would be sucking up water like there's no tomorrow My suggestion is buy 5l of glyphosate 360g/l pry, scrape off ivy all around trunk at 1.5m high drill 10mm holes at 45 degs downwards, 60mm deep, 30mm apart in a complete circle around trunk, use a 100ml syringe with plastic tube to fill the holes nearly to top with 50% solution diltuted with preferably rain water, but hard tap water would work May be cheaper than ecoplugs - and either method will work best in growing season, right now probably still ok, or April. You need to take care with mixing and applying strong glyphosate -
Give an example please.

Something very simple I've noticed over the years, that seems to significantly help new, or less confident potential customers, to instruct tree work: Breaking down the quotation into a couple of component prices (especially with a low-ish cost prep/preliminary item of work, first ), seems to relax them. I guess they get to see that we're not a bunch of cowboys, and I get to see how good they are at paying bills !

I use steel on the end of my climbline to make it easier to throw my main line, it's more like a throwball and carab all in one 🙂

You know that funnel webs live in the ground,Arborists work in Trees Yeah?

I would say it is definitely Paulownia tomentosa.

Looks very close to me, particually the seeds when comparing on google images. See the images here Royal Paulownia 500 Seeds Paulownia tomentosa FLORIDASEEDS.NET Paulownia tomentosa, commonly known as the empress tree or princess tree, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to central and western...

Anyone had any experience with the fae mulcher - it’s to go on a 8t machine. TIA
-
Think leaves are wrong shape, and not fluffy.
-
Any idea, and it's in UK.
-
Spiders funnel website not snakes , but it would be interesting to see how many had !
-
Because its mega expensive and has a short shelf life? Honestly never heard of any Arbs getting bitten by snakes,loud noises scare them off apparently.
-
I believe I've decided on the extendable combination ladder type. Trying to decide which brand and what size to get but likely the 8 rung. A frame max height of 4m and fully extended its 8.4m.

Obviously, so why aren't arb trucks fitted with a mini fridge for viles of it, should anyone come into contact with it
