Nope we had to pull the chimney breast down and put up a false one cause behind that one there is a huge fire box and a really big casing to protect the surrounding walls due to the enormous heat it puts out really hot and greedy for wood
-
Well it is and it isn't ..... It's due to be felled in the next 6mths or so along with 3 others but due to the large amount of the fungi at the bottom and the fact that there's areally big crematorium well within the target zone it's got the x of death for next week

I've been chopping and flopping Trees for the past 17 yrs or so and finally making the change to a Log fire is the best and it's hot ... Real hot

Bet you had fun tipping that as well. I remember when we Had a 5.5 t iveco tipper if you got a proper load on you had to reverse fast and jam the brakes on whilst yer finger was on the tip switch lol although the pto version of he 6.5t was the dogs kergeebers it never let you down even had the lads pushing the back up if there was no room for a run up .

found these little ink caps around this dead Prunus today i liked the way they follow the dead roots! got some pics off of them on the iphone too.... when it stopped raining they looked a lot like Coprinellus Micaceus (The glistening ink cap) and were obviously living off the dead wood but these were tiny and didn't really shimmer at all, anybody got any better ideas wot they are
-
I don't know what yer all on about I think I looks good! Though the price is a little steep!
-

Not sure what the weight of the vehicle unladen is but the load must weight around 2.7 t the vehicle looks to be around a ton and a half over weight
-

Trust me when I say that LA pruning trees just to get a good view is not the norm.... I'm inspecting for Salford LA at the moment and there isn't the money in the pot to get that sort of work undertaken regular as part of policy .....it's just not there! and I don't think there are many authorities out there with spare dosh for that sort of work
-
Look chaps, you know and I know and I know you know that using spikes for pruning is just wrong. And it's a lazy climber that does !!
-
We Brits have an in built nervousness where fungi are concerned ..I believe it dates back to pagans and Druids where fungi were given to the villagers namely psilocybes and and amanita which evoke hallucinating properties so the Druids propagated the story all fungi were under the control of the Druids which use them for tree own purpose
-
What is it with you load freaky tall people my hypothesis is that any person over 5.5 ft has got to have alien DNA in his Or her body just look at the height of the doors on ye old pubs Thats because the height of the average person was quiet a bit smaller than you lot evolution takes millions of years you lot did it in just a couple of hundred years you've all got impure DNA that's the only answer..........oh 5.2 and a tad under 10.10st cause I give up smoking I'm a little rotund but back to the original question yep yer a little to far towards to to large side to climb all trees but not all in my opinion but if to fancy doing some 5 -10 pecent reducing on an ash, robinia or lime say send in the pics pls
-
At a wild guess I'd say Phytophthora but from the pics it is a wild guess really. If you can see any darkened weepy patches it possibly is as it's quite common on chestnuts at the moment

I know gardener love pottering over herbaceous gardens and sculptured box hedges or pretty arrangements of a few daffs or roses but personally I think that the natural world beats it all hands down and this shot is just one of a number that proves the point
