-

-
wow, pretty sketchy job then, well its the best arb vid i have ever seens. im sure it will circulate the many forums for years to come
-
what are the rachet straps for, gonna watch the vid again its so good..
-
do you know what the total height of the tree was befor it died? and the height of the pole you dismantled?
-
wow, pretty amazing video. what species of tree was it? assumed it was a redwood cos of the size but their didnt seem to be any large branch attachment points on the stem.
-
Just wondering if any one knows the approx age of semi natural oak woodland in the UK, im thinking its around 300 years old. was planted in the 17th century right? -
are you all pro invasive bracing then? i know little about the subject but am looking at it from a diffrent perspective after seeing these pictures.
-
that is actually pretty impressive, whos decision to save it?
-
is an internal canopy created by stimulating epicormic growth? or am i thinking of somthing diffrent
-
all i can think of is a reduction, check the bracing and do some of them their fancy tests for decay..
-
haha ok totally missed the lovley black residue comming from the co-dominent attachment. yeah i agree with what Monkeyd said
-
the right stem looks pretty sound, maby just rebrace and reduce, you could cut habitat wedges into the kaned old stem...
-
try arboriculture, i hear its pretty physical...
-
nice, what distingushing features do you have.... please br an eye patch and wooden leg
-
im new to rigging systems, so i trusted honeys would put together one that was safe/problem free. yeah im thinking i should try and blag one cheap at the AA fair.

to many slow students doing it today, gotta weight for tomorrow, proably a good thing to be honest considering the heat we had today.
-
haha i like that. When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

i totally agree, but unfourtunatly it seems 90% of the genral public require our services for the benifit of themselves, not the trees were working on, yes is it a stupid point to argue that one tree is sustaining 18 peoples oxygen for a year, but unfortunatly iv been backed into a corner before trying to stop a customer removing half the crown of a perfectly healthy tree. sad that the world wide view seems to look at every thing either as people or property. but thats a totally diffrent matter. all im saying is it may not be 100% accurate the claim that mature beech trees produce that much oxygen a year, but i would use a dirty tactic like mentioning that if i thought it would help. wouldnt you?
-
the thing im most intrested in at the moment is vetran trees, learning how to care for them and do things like correct repollarding. what would be the best way to break into this specific part of arb?
-
i find religion very intresting, but i its rarley the concept of a religion that intrests me. more the history. somthing i never understood was how the bible used to be god fearing, smite this smote that. and now it seems to be very forgiving on issues that christians once so strongly beleived. its a good thing on how it has changed to be more encompasing of peoples views but it seems to kinda make the core of the religioen irrelivent, unless we had a homosexual tollerating, other faith accepting new age christ visit us latley? if any thing its a really good thing that most religions can be used as morals, just seems strange to me

but you must admit oxygen for 18 people for a year? i know were not running out of it but its pretty impressive, and it dose seem like trees are here paying us a service, which i agree is not their primary role on this planet, but if small facts like that make people think twice about felling a nice big beech tree in their garden just so they can have sunlight 2 hours longer, then it makes all the diffrence.
-
its a fact, but it counts for a beech tree. a large mature beech tree specifically. which has an extreamly large quantity of leaves in comparision to other mature trees. that tree council book is pretty good but a bit simple and nonspecific, prefer shigo any day. btw whats shigos book that every page is pretty much a colour picture about pruning, topping co dominent stems ect? really would like to know the name.

went up a mewp for the first time today at college, me and my mate went up and pissed about in it. i must say it scared me a hell of alot more than climbing dose, hated the jolting of the hydraulics, and half the time we were only on 3 wheels. think it would be good in looking after vetran and ancient trees, repollarding ect. minimise damage
