All the best for your new venture Chris.

Tuesday's job - reshape and reduce end-weight in horse chestnut over road. High Scale and Danners in the tree. 1 - before 2 - during 3- after

Treelife website. I think it might be http://www.treelifetraining.co.uk

True, not sure to be honest. I spoke to him today and I think he is going to hire a chipper for the day and just chip on site. If you could let me know the chipper hire details that would be great.

Thanks guys. Where are you Peter?
-
Thanks Bob! I will ask him but I think his main concern is dealing with the brash. And cheers Penfold - will mention that as well. Maybe he'll have to chip in to his Passat!

Guy I work with sometimes is doing a days tree work at his girlfriend's house in Manchester and wondered whether anyone on here would be able to chip it for him? Going rate of course. He has a chipper but it seems a waste of fuel to drag his truck and chipper from Bristol to Manchester for one load. Can anyone help?

Gee thanks MB. My qualm is not with Shigo's good work (although he was just a man, not the God of trees) - more with some people's refusal to swap ideas and points of view. Whatever.

Who put you in charge? This is good discussion on a public forum.

I drove past these trees on saturday and was admiring the good work. Then I remembered this post and realised they were the same trees! Nice work whoever they were.

I see what people are saying about not over-complicating things. However, surely a decade ago some of the stuff people use regularly now must have looked like new-fangled over-complicated rubbish. I would like to try one and then make a decision. ....not for $425 though...

Lovely looking reduction marc.

Here is a nice Laetiporus on a Robinia taken about a month ago. -
Here here.

Very useful, thanks Drivelink.

I don't like ladders - ascending a ladder to access a tree is when I feel most unsafe/vulnerable. However, they save a lot of farting about and if used sensibly (well placed and footed etc) are a must-have bit of kit I think.
-
I am assuming that the more it is used, the more the software is tweaked to improve accuracy etc. Yorkshireman - was the pictorial result pretty confusing then? Sounds like a lot of training is needed to accurately interpret the readings?

Hi guys, Just wondered if people had used or seen results from thermal imaging equipment in detecting internal decay in trees. It seems a quick and cheaper way of assessing trees than say the picus tomograph but do you guys feel the results are as good?

Climber looking for work around Stroud or Bristol
Paul Barton replied to Alinicoll's topic in Employment
Have you tried Tree Maintenance - I think they are pretty big in Stroud. I know of one company in Bristol looking for a subbie climber 3 days per week otherwise. PM me your number if you are interested. -
What were you doing to the tree treedude?
-
Reckon the rehydration sachets sound a good idea. I used them most days when I was cycling in India - they taste a bit rank but do the trick.

Crazy fool!
-
Very nice Ed!

Topsoil and turf shouldn't be a problem for aeration and water uptake, but if the soil level has been altered significantly that could cause problems. As has been said, if the ground is waterlogged this would suggest a poor soil structure which could use some aeration.

Unless you can think of another name for it! How about 'compression fork'?
