Hi all, Just a little update but no diagnosis as of yet! Recieved an email this morning from Ben Jones & this is what it says.. Glen, i spoke with Sandra Denman (the pathologist who is dealing with the samples) yesterday & she is still working on them as it's not clear what the causal agent(s) are. She is still culturing from the samples but has yet to identify what has grown out. It is likely that she may need to go back to the site to obtain more samples, if that is the case are you happy to meet on site. So it looks like i'm going to be heading back down there with them, i'll take some more photo's & i'll update again, soon hopefully!

Afternoon all. I've been asked by a client to put in an application to fell a Monterey cypress because the drive way & vehicles are being bombarded with Seagull & Pigeon feaces. It's the only tree in a new build cul-de-sac & has a TPO on it. I've got to go & have a look in the morning. I have heard about putting in fake owls to scare off other birds but not sure how true it is? Has anyone got any experience or info on this? Ta.

As you drive down through the main entrance towards the cafe & car park. On the left you'll see a site full of logs. I tipped 8 loads of beech for nothing. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I agree with Defenderjack, there are still hundreds in Brighton & Hove in the streets & parks.

Hi fella, I know that on Wimbledon Common they take logs. Might be worth a look to see if they take chip?

Hi, if the client wants to keep the trees as healthy as possible & the neighbour is worried about the potential damage they may cause if the were to fail then i would suggest the client has a report carried out on the trees. That way if no work is required then the trees will stay healthier if they're not pruned. Hope this helps.

Anyone know what this could be please?

Ok, here's some more info on how the morning went. So we meet on the estate this morning & head straight over to the 1st site of trees, approx 15 Oaks. I gave Ben all the info I had, age class, when they were planted, where they were bought from. We selected a candidate & got to work with a mallet & chisel & proceeded to remove the outer bark from the stem bleeds. Ben commented that he was suprised at how deep the staining went. He then took a small jar with some liquid & what looked like ball bearings, added some of the stained wood & shook for a minute. Put a couple of drops onto what looked like a pregnancy test kit. Waited for a few mins for the result. No signs of Phytopthera. Tested a couple more to be sure. What he did find in all the stem bleeds were exit holes from what could be from the buprestid beetle (Agrilus biguttatus). This is associated with acute oak decline. All samples bagged up & on their way to a lab. An interesting day out for me & i await the results.

Afternoon, Ok i've down to the site with Ben Jones from the Forestry Commission this morning & he carried out tests for Phytopthora. Good news! it's not. Bad news is he thinks the symptoms displayed are more than likely AOD. He will pass on the samples he took to the laboratory & said he'll be in touch with me in a couple of weeks. I'll pass on the news when i hear.
