There have been a few threads about this on Arbtalk. Here's one: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=73748 Perhaps have a search and then ask any specific questions here.

Now there's a first - I got one right!!

Griselinia littoralis?

Calm down guys, let's keep on topic. Bringing Ty's religion in to the discussion was unnecessary and has nothing to do with how he uses a chainsaw.

Relative velocity algorithms in tomographs.

Cool, let me know what you decide! I don't know anything about the second two! -
Relative velocity algorithms in tomographs.
Paul Barton replied to Gary Prentice's topic in Tree health care
Not very well presumably! I suppose they are only useful for locating distinct pockets of decay where the relative densities are different. Your question also highlights the issue that you can't use a Picus to compare several trees, even of the same species. -
Level 6 Diploma In Arboriculture (ABC) Industry Rejection???
Paul Barton replied to hokum93's topic in Training & education
I get what you are saying but don't agree. I finished my first degree in 2002 and was assessed via numerous exams as well as a dissertation. I can remember a fair bit about my dissertation as it took months of reading, writing and dialogue with my supervisor about my area of study. In contrast, I can remember very little about the things I wrote in the exams! I am the type of person who can 'learn' and retain information quite well for a short period of time. Great for cramming and passing exams but not great for actual lifelong learning! As a customer, I would rather the consultant providing me with advice knew their subject in detail than had been good at absorbing and regurgitating information given to them. -
BS 8516. Recommendations for tree safety inspection
Paul Barton replied to Gary Prentice's topic in General chat
I seem to remember that it got on the wrong side of some popular press. There was an assumption that every tree owner would need to employ a competent Arb regularly to inspect their trees and that this financial burden would lead to pre-emptive felling. It even got discussed on the Jeremy Vine show - you can imagine the tone of that! I can't actually recollect whether this assumption had any relevance to the document but I've got a copy of the draft somewhere if you want a copy. -
I am closing this thread as the original post broke rules 2 and 13 of the forum posting rules. You can check them out here: Arbtalk.co.uk - Forum Rules Arbtalk is not the place to complain about service from a person or company, especially on behalf of a friend. If you have a problem with a particular company do the grown up thing and take issue with them directly.

Great stand and show prices! Enjoying my purchases already.

A quick bit googling suggests that the reason you can't claim nuisance from your own property is that it is part of the law of tort, which by its nature requires a claimant and defendant. Thanks for putting me straight Chris!
-
Well I never knew that! Not that I doubt you, but can you point me to a source for that info?

That'll be my neighbour...12 and counting. Luckily no big trees on her land!

Thanks for the advice.

Why's that? Have you had a bad experience with them?

Transporter or Amarok? Do you have one?

Am now considering something bigger with at least 4 seats so it can be our family wagon as well as my work vehicle. Thinking a combi van or double cab pickup....

Disappointed to miss it this year, it looks like a good line up and great venue.

Our neighbour has 12 cats (and counting) so we get no birds in our garden. I detest them. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Starting a bidding war eh, Mr Humphries? Can also recommend calling Paul Muir - I enquired with him recently about a tree in my area that I wanted testing. It didn't work out in the end but he was very helpful.

Gotcha. I've got some rope and fat mate to pull on it. £1000 for you.

SIA?
