    I thought along these lines and reckon it could be a good idea, as long as it was set up right and just provided a steady income without to many varying costs.

    I recently spoke to a fruit tree expert who uses garlic to control P&D - the answer has been staring us in the face all along!!

    From what I have heard from a colleague it sounds quite similar (if not the same??).....Hard, multiple choice and lots of PHC... Hope that helps, I would query though whether they are actually different or if there is any benefit to you sitting it here also. He said the criteria was very US based. Good luck!!

    18 Stoner, I am no Biologist either but I think all our large broad leaves are under threat from this type of canker at the moment. Its seems to me that environmental factors, heat from the sun and unpredictable patterns of rain and snow, larger popluations of tree pests are all having detrimental affects on trees globally. I know I am all just doom and gloom but I personally see our long term environmental future as being very bleak - with no other option than letting nature, the planet adapt as it must.

    Based on my current understanding you are all right. A tree compartmentalises best without assistance, and leaving pegs allows this to happen away from the main stem which reduces the chances of the main stem becoming infected by pathogens. If you look at pegs which have begun the callousing process you see that the reaction wood will typically develop over a larger portion of the remaining stub than would be available had the branch been target pruned. However are stubs acceptable in formal settings? In this case target pruning is the closest we can get to replicating nature whilst leaving a tidy looking job, and minimising damage/stress to the tree. With dead pegs/branches I only ever reduce them back to wood which is already compartmentalised and avoid opening fresh wounds. Hope that helps feel free to critise contradict if I am wrong.

    Great patterns on the Aspen...did any go to Turners? or is it firewood?

    Nice one!! Sound effective and viable ..lets hope we get some actual results and treatment under way in the UK soon! Although i'd be prepared to start planting wild garlic for now better than paying for an industrial solution.

    Is it flat on its face?? ...Think we need to just do some guerilla climbing at an undisclosed site? Would be cool to see some different techniques and set ups..
  23. raafbeard
    Exactly!! You couldn't make it up... Thanks for posting ...to me it just makes "everything simpler but more confused"
  24. raafbeard
    Possible for project of a lifetime I would say....Excellent work mate!! Do you know if they would be doing decent size posters or such of the installation? I want to check out the details...!!
