Lunge thread

[Big 'Ammer]

Canopy was poor and thinning, with a lot of dead wood.

 

Lost a very large limb on the roadside in the past and a lot of decay associated with that.

 

Lot of tips dying back.

 

Big new water main put in under where the fence is a few years ago, and root severance and compaction contributing to decline.

 

Anecdotal evidence that tree was showing significant die back from last summer.

 

We felled a sickly ash at the other end of the fence section as well, excavation and compaction blamed for its decline also.

ok so theres a story behind this lunge. . .

 

me and xerxses had'nt met before, so to know who each other was, we completed the arbtalk code . . . a bit of techno viking, and some prussik advance hip thrusting . . . in a full pub.

 

throughout the evening, there was random bursts of thrusting. . .we had some rather wierd looks to say the least!

 

then it was photo time, xerxses suggested a lunge pic, so in true arbtalk style, in a packed pub in sweden, i asked a random girl to take a picture of us, the look on her face was priceless, infact the look on the whole, now quiet, pubs faces was priceless!!!!!
