I love multi-stemmed silver Birch – Smashing trees and I bet they cosy a few £££’s.

Nice to see proper sized planting pits too!

Lucky you're not planting those 'over here' as they'd be eaten inside out by Bronze Birch Borer within the first couple of years.

The birch are 150ltr container grown from Barchams of Ely, approx 3m and 125 quid plus the vat, a line of 6 planted to create a screen of the footpath, the other side is made up of Prunus "Royal Burgundy" at either end, A platanoides Drumondii, A campestre, Drumondii. Other tree planted are Alnus glutinosa, Betula pendula Tristis, Carpinus betulus Crataegus laevigata Pauls Scarlet, Ilex aquafolium Alaska, Labunum vulgare multi-stem, Sorbus aria Mitchellii, S aucuparia Aspleniifolia, S Rossica Major, Taxus baccata, Tilia cordata, T cordata "Winter Orange". Plenty of seasonal interest , and different colours.

7901, brilliant saw, running a 28" bar with no worries, had it just over a year, the firm i was subbying to today has a 395 and i always use mine over theirs...... cant wait for the responses to that comment

 

the only thing i will say is that it recently took nearly 2 months to get a part for it, luckily its not my only saw

And finally......done. Chuffed with the result, nice to have a blank canvas to work with, to visualise something, put it on paper and then see it through.

Nice Zelkova in Sth London

 

I know that tree! (I think) Is it located on the South Circular nr. Dulwich college. If so the tree has more of a lean than it looks in the pic. One of the guys I worked for quoted to remove the tree a couple of times (the last time I know of being about 6 years ago).

 

The root plate is lifting considerably and the lean is right over the road and a busy junction. The LA decided to leave the tree as it would cause too much disruption to remove. If it fails I can't imagine the carnage it would cause...:scared1:
