If he'd been wearing a weaver he would have bounced off those spikes Hopefully Simons about and he can add to this thread...

Surely cutting a TPO tree back to a boundary without consent could lead to a prosecution under s210 as unauthorised works? Seeing as I TPO'd a tree the other day for just this very reason - the neighbour wants to take the half of the mature copper beech that overhangs his garden off back to the boundary line - maybe the high court is beckoning

That's too cool.

Reg, on a couple of those limbs that fell toward the block, I'm sure I saw the rope tension get taken up by the guy downstairs before the limb loaded it?!? Was that the case or did my eyes decieve me? I always used to try and do that to minimise the drop as early as poss but its tricky to get it right.

D. concentrica is also thought to exist latently inside the tree, waiting til the conditions are right before fruiting... clever stuff, playing the waiting game! I quite like the idea of burning it - there's a whole bunch of bugs that utilise burnt wood (which for obvious reasons is in short supply).

I presume though that as the system is adjustable, there will always be a point at which you adjust it where you will load the splice from the side??? Intuitively loading a splice from the side is bad, what with uneven tensions but is there any proof a splice fails at lower strains when in that configuration???

Tul, the area you're in is naturally acid. You can't fight that glacial till mate. If you're site is anything like Felbrigg then the acid soils define the character of the landscape. Stick with local provenance for your new plantings, they'll be better adapted. As for the Rhodys... Nothing works except hard labour.

Could you show a complete kit photo??? I only asked about the ascender as I've tried one hand models such as the petzl but found it tough to get both hands in it... Doesn't the spelegyca have two "legs" what do you do with the other one???
-
Done well there mate. I mean getting climbing gear in the kitchen... on a surface too... thats a hanging offence round here!!! I'll think I'll use some superstatic for the '08 season!

Swish dude! Nice pickled onions. I'm going to shamelessly copy you.

something in that first calc doesn't ring true... have you dropped a decimal point???
-
Nice bit of bud proliferation there monkey. Thanks for those Hannah. She's done that bit of coursework now but I kind of think that this thread will be agood resource for others...
-
ha sounds familiar...

Two members of our staff went today - when I get back from leave, I'll get some feedback if you want??

You don't even need to buy some of those books... http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LZssbJ6g6PUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=fungal+decay+strategies&sig=2qtaoAddvNl3Vm1ZFbsSWKQrEj8

Pete, I had the same reaction to the probability issue and it took me a while to get my head around the fact that QTRA uses fractions not decimals. So if converted, the numbers will not exceed 1. e.g. 1/1000 = 0.001 I've never been a fraction kind of guy so it does take some extra effort on my part! I'm definatley interested in this Aussie ruling though... Is it recent?
-
****er.
-
I agree with Chris. Note that the system undergoes regular updates and any version embedded within tree management software might be out of date...
-
Ha. Don't think so.

Won't you have to kill them on all the neighbours chestnuts as well??? I've had limited success on one site by removing and burning the leaves during the winter. Still not totally eradicated the problem though because of all the neighbours trees...
