As you said 'could this not just be a scabby, old, dessicated Ganoderma' I think it is very likely to be Pellenus sp (igniarius).And more unlikley to be a ganoderma. The signs such as rounded conks appearing up the tree are more out of character for a ganoderma. From what I have tried to read about this species, I can't find much.

Use a nice big woppy sling and a girth hitch. And make sure all slack is taken out. You want to avoid the porty wrap slaming into the trunk when loaded. Make sure it is lined up with the pulley..........

I have some interesting pics of the extent of the damage this fungus caused. It is the same bracket as the one in Bundle 2's pics. We decided to fell the tree. We found signs of the Phellinus igniarius a good 9 meters up the beech stem. I'd say the picus helped when deciding where to place the hinge for the fell.

Where about did u work
-
how do you even start to look at a career move to new zealand. It does have an appeal. I hear good things about the rate of pay but many arborists soon say thats a myth.

I rock climb at least once a week. Different when ur used to having tension on ur climbing line all the time.

Cheers guys....... will look at both to get an idea. Where could I find info on a foundation arb degree?

Try this without the extra karabiner. Try 1 krab instead, it's alot tidier and easier to keep an eye on. the petzl william is nice and wide.

Has anybody tried a 'gripping hitch' its shown on proclimber. im using ocean polyester and the gripping hitch is wicked. it doesn't constrict like a distel, is really sensitive and grips straight away.

sounds like fun. where is it.

thats it in a nut shell then

Never had to do one but monkey puzzle must be up there.

Surely as said before a loler inspector should only check for cuts,bumps (general wear issues). A certified arborist is certified to tie knots and so these knots are trusted. a certified splicer is certified to make splices so the same applies. To the original question I beleive a member of this site aka Tony Sorenson can help with your problem (possibly). Or take a splicing course yourself.

GRCS is indistuctable. Ive seen 2 tonne blocks dropped on it. And it hasn't budged.

cant mulch
-
The forest is an old beech forest. With some amazing mature trees. they seem to have done really well here in the past. Removing the rhody is an option but there is loads of the stuff. we can mulch on site as the soil remains acidic. There is alot of work and only two arborists on site. Along with the rhody problem sycamore is shriving as well. We need a massive felling license as well to knock some holes in the canopy halo.
-
Where I work Soils tend to be rather acidic in large areas, as indicator species such as rhododendron indicate. We are planning on bringing back native trees to this area, mainly beech and oak. It seems that the older very mature trees are stressed by the rhody's invasion and the blockade they bring seems to stop natural seedlings progressing to adulthood (so we are missing a couple of generations). Is there a way of bringing the PH back up other than using large quantities of lime?and a sure fire way of controlling the rhody scum? Somebody mentioned introducing Quercus patrea and cerris but just wondered if anybody out there had any input on this situation.

It was really enjoyable, big up to everyone who got stuck in.
