Labyrinth

[David Humphries]

It was an old Pollarded Ash we took down last year, had loads of that fungi stuff round the base (-:

 

And said fungi stuff was ???

Was a delicate operation to relocate it away from the park (without it crumbling) to somewhere it would be allowed to fade away under its own steam.

What's wrong with you people, you should be well & truly drilled by now

 

You know very well that I demand nothing less than 5 photographic images if and when there's mention of a fungal culprit.

I always make sure my team relocate good bits like those to the less formal parts of the estate whenever we can. 'Habitat' is becoming my nickname at work, I think.

I do the same with customers Felix, I'm always persuading them to let us leave a little log pile somewhere as habitat in an obscure part of the garden.

There's many jobs I've been on where the previous less scrupulous tree services people have "habitat piles of brash" without asking the customer

Took me a couple of goes to get them to realise we weren't just doing it as a skive. Luckily, as long as the formal bits of the grounds look right, I get to have a bit of a play with the rest of it.
