It is disputed as to when the plant was first brought to the West and to the United Kingdom. The plant was first registered as Reynoutria japonica in 1777 by a Dutchman named Houttuyn. Its introduction to the West is likely to have begun circa 1823 when Philippe von Siebold is said to have brought the plant to his nursery in Leiden, Holland. Von Siebold sent the flower to the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew in August 1850 and was introduced to the gardens. It was planted at the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh in 1854. The spread of the plant and its rhizome across the country can be attributed to a number of factors: • The commercial sale of the plant, beginning in the 19th century, as at the time it was regarded as a fashionable ornamental plant. • Traveling along watercourses • Transportation by and on vehicles such as cars, trains and lorries. Some areas of vehicles, such as tires, are susceptible to picking up pieces of the plant and rhizome • Fly-tipping • Urban development: the transportation of soil and materials for the construction of roads and buildings distributed the rhizome around many modern urban areas.

I'm 32" and have to tighten the waist belt quite a lot so you should be alright with a size 1. Always best to try though first. I'll have to act as your groundie for the day whilst you try

His way of presenting reminds me of Carl Segan who presented The Cosmos series in the late seventies. Both excellent programs!

If you want to try my Petzl Sequoia then give me a call. It's a size 1.

How's your 180HP truck doing? Yeah, can't wait for that in the 7.5t. Having said that, I've been pretty impressed with the 130hp available in the 3.5t version even when "fully loaded"!!

Where do you hail from? I can demo a Wallenstein WX640 petrol road tow for you.

It's good practice to not mix PPE (climbing gear) & Rigging gear. Mark it as PPE or Rigging and use as such. However, in an emergency you have to use what is available.

Hi Marko, can you PM or email your details - what days you are free etc and I'll see what I can do.

Well done guys. Received my certificate on Saturday :-)

Cheers T.L., been using Aspen for 3 years but finding it difficult to procure in smaler amounts. I'll p.m. with amount required. Thanks again.

About a £9k saving on the new price then after taking the VAT into account.

I understand that one of the (former) employee's of Treeworks Ltd has set up his own shop...

Grass, soil or something harder like concrete?

Total price £25,806 (the buyers premium is subject to VAT as well). I'm not going to argue over a few quid though LOL.

The first Jenson on the list went for £14,000 something. Can't remember the exact figure.
