I reckon it's a variety of quince.

Are you just a self employed person working with others for a company? If you have 12 months work then it sounds like you are an employee? Exactly what I was thinking:questionmark:

Panther platforms are nationwide to. They have tracked mewps.

Even the greatest mountain turns to dust, natures cycle and i'm sure on that dust evolves life. I can hand on heart say if approached to tender for this I would pass and point them to people who may want to.

BST is just a name for the clocks going forward, we have actually only just entered Spring and have to wait until the Summer equinox 21st June until Summer is here so lets enjoy the glory of Spring first:thumbup:

Signed, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I have the imac and have had it nearly 3 years now.Never had any problems at all incl viruses, slowness etc ertc and would not go back to pc.

Ask yourself can you fill the rest of that day with another job to get a days wage if not then you should come to your answer.

You'll get more for your money if you don't just look for hilux.

Just been talking to my supplier about those chains, be good to know what you think of them and if there worth the price.

Before going with the name I trade with now I was going to have Arbor Barber.

rangermatt that looks pretty much the same as whats on the birch, that came quick on yours though.

Cheers guys, just got back from a night out with the boys, puts my concerns to bed. Be good to see your pics if you can get any Jim to compare.

Do you think Tony and Jim that the bacteria are feasting on the sugars etc in the sap and this show is growth of the bacteria in the sap flow? It is reasonably mild so good conditions for them to colonise I suppose. Do you think washing it off with water in a week or so when hopefully the sap has stopped dripping(been 3 weeks now nearly) is a good idea. The client is worried as there is a lot entering into the beds below the tree. I have said I'll try and find out the cause and then deal with it and keep an eye on the tree over the season.

Hi, I had a call from a client in the week saying that 2 of the 3 small branches we took off Their Silver Birch is oozing a peculiar white fluid. We did the work on the 21st of Feb and initially it was weeping sap which wasn't of too much concern, I popped round today to have a look and am a bit concerned with the discharge. Does anyone have an idea to what it is and if we should be concerned or leave it to take its cause. The tree in general is in good condition and has a healthy crown when in leaf. I'm thinking perhaps its the soil conditions where it is planted, however it seems strange this is only coming from 2 of the 3 cuts. It is something I have not seen and have done many Birches. Many thanks, Dave.

My location is more towards Canterbury however do get around Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells. I am no fungal expert and would always get a consultant in to assess things above my knowledge base. I go with my feeling and experience and with regards to this beech I still feel it would not take such a large reduction. I refused to quote to re pollard a seemingly healthy Mature Holm Oak for my Sister who shares a property in a converted manor as it had some signs of decay from the initial pollard. I would have gladly priced to remove it, the residents decided to get other opinions and had it pollarded only for me to get a request 18 months later to come and remove the now dead tree. If I was the initial tree Surgeon I would have felt obliged to remove it for free as advice was wrong. I did so for my sister in return for all the wood which has kept me warm all winter. The point being at times can we really hand on heart truly say what will happen?

I have been reading this thread and also the posted pics by Mr Blair with interest. It seems to have driven an almighty wedge between many users on the site. My personal view upon the base of the tree in question is it would have remained in situ for many years to come, however also performing such large reductions on a beech would have sent this tree into a rapid decline as I have witnessed on a few glorious specimens throughout Kent. The only way I could see that this tree could have been "managed" would be to thin and perform a 10-15% reduction then monitor for the next couple of years to see how it reacted. Beeches as well as oaks in my experience and viewing do not respond well to 30% reductions. Stephen has accommodated his clients wishes and budget I think, if this tree was on an estate with a client that was open to management then I'm sure with his contacts and wealth of Arbtalk input he could and would have undertaken a retention plan for this tree, the power of the demise of this tree lives on in this thread, let it and the thread rest in peace.

Hadn't seen that thread Sean, some good pics there. The trees here I used to wake up to every morning as this parkland is the view from my parents home and my childhood bedroom window. Recently I have secured the care of the trees on this land after approaching the new landowner who is very much pro conservation, a labour of love for me as its my roots, literally!

Was Going through some photos of trees I look after and have been meaning to show this one, no intention of removing as even the dead tree is a host to lots of life, enjoy.

The wording of sect 191 isn't very helpful really, should is not must.

As my user name Ross.

Thanks for the calls today and replies, I have got someone organized for this now and will keep the numbers of those who contacted for future reference. you may now close this thread.

Hi, due to a bereavement I am in need of someone on the ground for Monday and Tuesday next week. This could also lead onto further work too as not sure how long he will be off the tools. Call me on 07817191055 or post here the wage is £120:00 a day. Any help is greatly appreciated. Dave

Just factor it in to your quote and say any notice/applications will be made upon acceptance of quote for work. This makes it seem that you are doing everything in the price with no hidden extras, works for me and others it seems.
