  1. Thanks chief!
  2. Like this one I saw in the woods last weekend!
  3. Thanks David - my mush looks pretty similar to some of your images. Do you say Hornbeam is a host from your own experience, as it's not listed in any texts I have. If so, what has the significance been in your experience? I'd expect Hornbeam to have a better resistance to the decay than Beech. In this case it's acting in tandem with Ganoderma, so the future doesn't look too bright for this one.
  4. This might be worth a look Tor: http://www.peartechnology.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TreeMinder.pdf
  5. Hi Tor - try a quick search on here using the terms 'survey' or 'software' - should reveal a few threads. Otherwise ask any more specific questions here and I'm sure a few will contribute.
  6. Hi all, Would anyone like to offer an opinion on what this fungus may be? It was at the base of a Hornbeam, which also hosts a Ganoderma applantatum. My first impression was a Meripilus but it has gills rather than pores and I have never seen it on Hornbeam before. Perhaps Pleurotus? It was attached to the base between buttresses by a stalk, and I think has gills on the underside although it was so mushy it was hard to tell! By the way, the photos show it turned upside down! I stupidly didn't get a picture of the top!
  7. Not at all. Learn how to express yourself properly please TCD.
  8. I've seen something like that in a supplementary planning guidance document on a council website. Did you see it when trawling a LA website?
  9. I've got a young Lab x Springer that I'd like to train to go out on the odd shoot in the future - don't really know where to start though as I don't know anyone in the shooting fraternity!
  10. I'm afraid I may have deleted it! As has been shown above, there are several threads all about your full inbox so I ditched one. No offence meant.
  11. Should've come to my seminar!
  12. Hi Nick. There's a free open source CAD program called Draftsight that might do you if you already know how to use CAD. I believe TurboCad is also pretty cheap. However, for so few of these jobs would you be better off outsourcing the plans? I could do them for you if you like - send me a message if that would be of interest.
  13. So that's why you sounded all muffled!
  14. I thought Persian Ironwood.
  15. Welcome to the forum - hope you enjoy it. Looks like you do some nice jobs!
  16. Sure. Not sure if I will see those particular trees again soon, but there's no shortage of stem bleeds on my travels. Will post back when I give a kit a try.
  17. Thanks Jon. I've not seen those - probably worth a try.
  18. Here are the same two trees, two years on. The exudate is now thick and gooey like black encrusted caramel. I have not seen exudates emerging in such a thick band shape around the stem. Any ideas?! I am thinking it must be a Phytophthora fungal problem.
  19. I looked at these but bought a Sonos instead. It's great.
  20. Thanks for the feedback Gary - glad you got home before work on Monday! I'll make sure not to run another event on the Friday before half term 😫 Give me a ring sometime and I'll talk you through my current setup and the costs involved.
  21. Calm down please boys. Discuss and debate the merits of saws, but leave out the accusations and personal digs please.
  22. Where is this treebay you speak of?
  23. Looks good Will, but a few typos on the home page: 'Wiltshire' and 'proprietor'.
  24. Still a few places left on next Friday's course - see this thread for details: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/cas/92587-mapping-trees-new-seminar.html
  25. Good stuff. 👍😀
