Found three large Inonotus dryadeus brackets today on an Oak. Read through Lonsdale and noted the resting of fruiting bodies , interesting as a neighbouring tree has several old decaying brackets but no fresh ones. Any sugestions as to the best method for establishing the ammount of decay under the main roots? The tree is 4' accross and 80' high 8' from a busy minor road.

I looked at a load of manky trees today including an Ash with a bark exuding a black fluid. I have a poor pic if you want, I have not seen this on Ash before but there was a cavity at the base of the stem below with a well formed brown rot .
-
saw that first pic and thought of scrambled egg for some reason.

Nice work but what about signs, cones and traffic control. I was skinned by the HSE last year for that subject ( and we where in a private garden in a private estate).

I hire one in from a firm occasionally, Mr Shutler uses the same machine too. I think its good. It does what it says on the tin. ( we hired another type with the operator and it was a tud but that may have been the operator not the machine.) It was an italmet?

I called that number and I thought it was a pervy chat line

nobody expects you to learn every scientific name. Knowing about the scientific names and their importance is part of the arboriculture package. Just as CODIT , target pruning and aerial rescue are part of the arboriculture package. To dismiss them as a waste of time is to diminish the value of part of your profession. and to answer your original question There are plenty of trees and fungi and arboreal diseases that have no "English name" or that have multiple common names. eg. Port Orford Cedar is better known to us as Lawson Cypress. Usage of scientific names is the only sure way to be certain that the exact same species is being discussed.

Fracture Pruning Retrenchment on Fulham Oak
Log-ologist replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
certainly the wound areas would be smaller. -
After last doing taxonomy classes at Newton Rigg 18 years ago I found it hard going but highly informative without being too overly highbrow scientific.

This sounds too cheap. I would buy these and resell at a proper price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIRE-WOOD-LOGS-OPEN-FIRES-LOG-BURNERS-LARGE-LOADS_W0QQitemZ180284855844QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180284855844&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Heathen. Comments like that just show you have no formal education in you field of work. Liken it to a parts manual for your MEWP, there are lots of similar looking numbers rather than lists of common descriptive names. Each number is related to one part or family of parts. The scientific (latin) names are made up of mostly Latin , with Greek, English, and dozens of other languages also. I sugest you read The secret life of trees by Colin Tudge. It will give you an insight to the subject of Taxonomy.

If Stihl are so wonderful has anyone wondered why they manage to get 2 adjacent cutters on the same side of the bar on a 14" 200t

Pinus telegraphis ?

If they are that bad then any good LOLER inspector would fail them anyway.

Was it not easier to just have a couple of lads with stop/go's and keep quiet . Then winch the butt back away from the road. I could possibly have misunderstood the post but I know of plenty of adhoc road closures without permission, but they where part of known traffic control measures pre booked with highways.

The discressionary rejections may be a way to prevent sub standard firms doing TPO work. I look foreward to lots of referrals.

There is no point stinging customers as they don't come back. A regular round of customers when finances are tight can be a saviour. One offs are where you can boost income.

I am surprise at how many folk are too tight to buy a rope that has a splice made into the end by the manufacturer. Or am I just an old geezer who likes a neat termination .
