Help with West of Scotland Rowan Tree
scotspine1 replied to Penguin&teddy's topic in Tree health care
It's probably not in any immediate danger of failing at the base as it's a small tree, but it would be worthwhile removing the badly decayed limb and seeing how it looks in the spring when in leaf. If the foliage is sparse across the canopy it's time to remove the tree as it's in severe decline. . -
how can they know for sure they've been poisoned? the supposed poisoning was reported in Dec 2016 so the 'arboricultural experts' haven't been able to assess the trees when in leaf yet. Also what does poisoning look like on mature Lime when not in leaf? If it was Glyphosate you'd see the dead grass but you'd need hundreds of gallons to kill mature trees, even then it might not work due to rain flushing it away. .

Help with West of Scotland Rowan Tree
scotspine1 replied to Penguin&teddy's topic in Tree health care
This was a large Rowan we felled last week. Probably around 70/80 years old, 45ft tall. Fairly common to see this level of decay on older trees. It was felled because the rootplate had moved during high winds leaving the tree unsafe near a neighbour's property.

Help with West of Scotland Rowan Tree
scotspine1 replied to Penguin&teddy's topic in Tree health care
Can you post a pic of the whole tree? older Rowans like that are very often hollow and/or decayed at ground level. The tree could now be so structurally poor at the base that it could fail during high winds. It also looks as though the branches could break off with that level of decay. . -
Something very strange about that story. .

Metsa, is that Finland? How thick does the ice have to be to drive a car over it? and do you do ice hole fishing? if so what species are in the lakes? Cheers .

Wrong. Islam was at war with everyone long before the crusades. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tours - this pivotal battle in France in 732 arguably saved the whole of Europe from becoming Islamic. Pic below shows Islam's expansion from 622 to 750. The Crusades which were a defensive war by Christendom started in 1095.

Mull, The problem of Islamic extremism is caused, surprisingly enough, by Islamic extremism. Think about it. .

No. Trump's travel ban or any Western government policy for that matter is not to blame for Islamic terrorism. Islamist violence is the product of a religious ideology openly committed to creating a worldwide caliphate. It's not Trump's policy on extreme vetting or improving America's border security that Islamists particularly dislike, they despise the very existence of anything not belonging to their version of Islam, which includes just about everyone living in the West and all of Western Civilisation. People need to wake up to this reality. .

Douglas Murray with a sobering and clearsighted assessment of the refugee/economic migrant crisis and how it will inevitably lead to the rise of the far right because ordinary people's concerns about mass migration are not being addressed by the mainstream political parties.

Of course you don't because it highlights your blatant double standards and obvious bias against Trump. . .
-
Exactly, that's why it's entirely relevant to the discussion that 6 out of the 7 countries on Trump's so called 'Muslim ban' list bar visitors from other countries based on their nationality.

Gaining access to the USA is a privilege granted by the American people, it's not a right. Why haven't you been condemning the banning of Israelis by many Muslim countries? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/north-america/united-states/articles/most-countries-on-trumps-list-also-ban-visitors-based-on-nationality/amp/?client=safari .

You copy/pasted that directly from Wikipedia. Great way to lose credibility. What else do you copy/paste to fit your argument?

Damn right! A MUST READ.

Yes, good old Donnie, he also wrote the song in this advert, in fact this is his original version. Pity he jacked in the music to concentrate on forestry. [ame= ] [/ame] -
Please to meet you Danny, hope you manage to find work ok. Good quals and experience there. Got a note of your number if anything comes up I'll give you a bell, ok for help just now though.

Mick, keep in mind no one, especially the person who might buy it, cares what you think, in fact, your opinion is of so little significance in the whole scheme of things it's registers 0 on the 0 - 10 scale of interesting opinions, 10 being the most interesting.

. Get what you're saying but it amazes me what folk will buy these days, I googled "Port Orford Cedar (Lawson Cypress) table for sale" and this came up. Seen loads of similar pieces here in the UK for sale for similar prices (£s) in all kinds of timber. People love the wany edged boards these days if they're finish (waxed/polished) to a really high standard. .

Quality felling Wallis, enjoyed that, great tune as well. Was the road in the winching section the A83? Nice part of the world up there. .

Looks good Craig. Any other pics? On the double bridge issue, the New Tribe Onyx has the ability to easily add in another bridge and their Nikosi harness has a built in twin bridge.
