Fraid you'd have to wade confidently through the tweed sea (not as deep as it looks) to get to us. Good new is though, the tide goes out after hours and a short causeway can be found leading to the beer tent and aforementioned Polish Carnies.

Tree in question just blew down taking out the phone line???

All depends how drunk I get, I can't promise anything. We have bad karaoke and a reverse bungee run by Polish Carnies.

Good man. Capels just the warm up act...

When its 70% hemi-parasite?? Found this Viscum album / Malus spp. the other day (sorry for the phonecam photo quality). Not much of the host left really - second shot shows the comparative thickness of the host branches / parasite stems. Barchams will be cultivating them as street trees after this - pruned once a year by local residents... Think of the savings.

Nice photothread dude. Maybe you have a book in you yet!

First things first. The TPO doesn't mean that you can't undertake normal woodland management so you should do two things (assuming you are in a position to get paid for your services!) 1. As Gibbon mentions above: Put together a management plan for the next 20 - 30 years. This will need to be fairly detailed for the first 5-10 i.e., thin compartment 5 by 20% blah blah blah 2. Object in writing to the LPA within 28 days including a request to see the amenity assessment that the LPA did before serving the Order. 3. Have a chat with the Tree Officer - now that you've objected he is obligated to try and resolve your objection. Discuss the management plan ask if he'd like you to make an application based on it. This should demonstrate that your client undertakes normal rountine management and that the trees are not under any kind of threat. I have to say though - the only real arguement against a TPO is that the tree's amenity value doesn't merit inclusion.

Has the bark been harvested?

A desiccated Inonotus dryadeus? Or a sun bleached Rigidoporus!

The Arbtalk member Mr. F. Icus got three out of the five deciduous genera in his post

Never had any problems in any part of Norfolk with Orange - well 'cept Blakeney. But nothing works in Blakeney...

Good photo! Its a stem gall - most likely caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Congratulations Mr. Haine - you're through to the ready money round!!

My 14th was Larix x eurolepis (Dunkeld Larch)

Not an Acer... Took me bloody ages to ID the other day!

I got one for you... Fingers on buzzers - you're back in play!!!

Theres more non-variety Larix spp...

Well done that man. Strictly speaking Ginkgo isn't a conifer because it doesn't produce reproductive cones though it is a Gynosperm and therefore is more akin to 'conifers' than 'broadleaves' (Angiosperms). But hey who's that fussy. It was Glyptostrobus and Psuedolarix which were the sneaky ones. And seeing as how there is only one tree known to each of those its not surprising!! Glyptostrobus Metasequoia Larix Taxodium Pseudolarix Gingko Now who's going for species???

Plus I had to look them up.

19. (but I'm including a common hybrid!)

Giordian?

Good thread! There are only five genera that include deciduous 'conifers' (whilst Ginkgo is a gynosperm it doesn't produce 'cones') - Ficus has three out of five...

I like that - a single A4 sheet with a consistent brand image and layout. Swish.

Ha ha. Did you dress up? They've got some good singles though (keep telling yourself...)
