not sure david, it turned brown in august. its in a hotel all tarmaced around its base, used as a turning circle so maybe, compaction or maybe the hard summer we had?

If you get the chance, I'd be interested in seeing an image of the cross section of the base when your finished.

 

Good luck with it

It'll be a bugger if u have to cut it down in small bits! They cut nice, but can be really heavy to handle.. Wait for the crane

originally i was going to rig it all down timber aswell, but now im thinking crane, it just depends what size crane we can get in as just under 9ft is the widest access to the site.

The 50 tonner I use would get in there, I think you'll find most mobile cranes are 8'6" wide.

Stubby butting in ! We had one to do just about the same size . It was the good old "money" fungus that did for ours .
