what is the best tree identification book to buy
cerneARB replied to andy t's topic in Tree health care
I like Collins 'tree guide ,the most complete field guide to the trees of Britain and Europe'. Lots of info and written descriptions and good detailed illustrations. Shame there is not a book with specific info in it for tree workers thou , would be nice to have a book written for us with it all in one place. -
Got the letter yesterday from the Council..didnt get it. Thought i wouldnt..no worries..didnt think i had enough expereince anyway. Just out of college and wanting to jump the gun. Well plan B then, get some private work myself , get my self up and running as a sole trader / sub contracter. Will get some feedback from the TO who did my interview, would like to know what i lacked.

let us know what happens.

Does the landlord need a brain transplant or what!! I would go the tree officer,you can go over the landlords head i think if you feel a tree is a threat and a danger..i know the council can do that and bill the land owner after the removal..dont quote me on that. safty first questions later?
-
well done Nick..great job..keep it up.
-
They wanted a certiifcate in arboriculture or tech cert or a btec would be acceptable. I got through the application stage because i got good grades in my BTEC (2 distinctions). Will do Thurkers , im doing well mate , will let you know what happens.

Well i went for a interveiw today with St Edmundsbury bourgh council for the post of assitant arboricultral officer. First one after qualifying last week. Dont think i got it , dont think ive had enough expereince and my fungi id was a bit ropey. I had to id some trees and assess them which i think i did ok , could have been a bit more precise but got through it, stammer went a bit mad thou..that was nerves. But a good experince , il know what to look for in the future if i go for the post again or something simlar. will know in a few days:confused1:

Qoute from rebbecca:Hi Generally if the underside of the ganoderma is dark it is no longer alive. As a previous answer said you will probably get some fresh ones growing, however if you get no more then the ganoderma has in fact been compartmentalised and has run out of suitable feeding material. EUREKA! Thats intersting..thanks bundle. will have to see if i can go back to the site and see if there are anymore growing on the beech.

Thanks David, i agree the best way to learn what they are is hands on. Its diffcult to tell with them they change with age and likness with age dont they. will remmber that , cheers. I know what i looking for now.can give the client some advice now.
-
i just checked a book and it says P.igniarius is a trunk rotter yes..mmmm? may be a ganoderma then david. The only thig is that ganoderma that im looking at in books has white pore undersides , this one is all black underneath.
-
can you narrow it down to species do you think. Checked out your old thread bundle, the cracking is in common with P.igniarius.
-
:001_smile: if it came from a tree i could have found a new species....ganjaoohhderma funnieslights!

Just finished at otley college by any chance?

looked at this today on a beech. Found it at the base of the tree in the buttress , think its a root rotter. Its woody and perinnieal , fan shaped and hard,black all over , no pores visable on the underside. i thought it was Ustulina deusta but that hasnt got any long pores this one has. Ive gone through some books and i think its P. igniarius.Any ideas guys and gals. sorry about the un david baily photos.

Im not sure but maybe pepole that are asthmatic would be more susceptable to spores injested into the lungs? I guess if you breathed in something fly agaric would that have the same effect as eating it? More questions i suppose. Wonder if a doctor could awnser this one?
