Whitish discharge from Silver Birch Pruning.

[armchairarborist]

dropped some birch yesterday and returned today to find the crystalised sap on the stumps, looked further down the site to where some bigger birch were felled late last summer and they were covered in a good thick layer of the stuff, i also think it is the sugars in the sap crystalising as they sit out in the open, no piccies as camera suffered a nasty accident:thumbdown:

Just been talking to my supplier about those chains, be good to know what you think of them and if there worth the price.

 

Been stump cutting this week with the carbide chain and it well worth the money. The only issue is to sharpen them you have to send them off. The chipper chain is ok. It keeps it edge better than a semi chisel whilst stump cutting. One of the stumps had a nice big lump of railway iron growing through the middle. Made me jump and the colleague who was just down the slope from me. Never seen him run so fast down the embankment.
