Do you remember the story about a taxi driver who called police and told them a dog was killing an old man the police shot the dog, then they found out the dog and owner worshiped each other and the old man had had a heart attack and the dog was trying to revive him. humans seem to make a habit of jumping in without thinking. and as for dirty dogs try bathing them and cleaning teeth then you can give them a big snog:001_smile:

The other day i was thinking i would like to be burried in the park with an oak tree planted at the top of the coffin. Then last night i had a dream it goes like this! I died and i got burried in the park and a oak tree was planted at my head,twenty years past and the tree grew then the main root touched my skull and i felt like i woke up but it was my soul came alive and istarted to travel up the root and up the stem and into the canopy, i then saw all around the park and i was a complete part of the tree i felt the wind the cold the wieght of the snow, i watched the deer in the park live and die, this went on for 650 years then i died again the end. What do you think am i MAD or SAD or is it part of the job of working with trees?
-
Ditto but tonight i am burning staghead oak or ironoak roasting best firewood you can buy. Like you i dont rate ash myself i sell that and use oak,field maple,black and white thorn, hazel,hornbeam ect for me.

I was talking about this yesterday, our timber buyer came to look at some large oak trunks i have in the park. The thing is in this country no trees are grown as a crop they are all grown for amenity,treescape. when my oaks die and are felled they are worth not much but if they had been felled at 150-200 years old you would have good timber worth good money. But timber now comes from europe cheap he wa telling me he buys all his oak from france good wood and cheap.

I plant some small platations in Ash for future firewood i loose one or two trees a year to this beetle, but i leave the wood in the plantation and do not take it to the woodyard as it would go through all the stacked cordwood.Same as rabbits if you fell some Ash leave some brashon the floor the rabbits eat this instead of the butts:001_smile:

Two years ago i was planting 14000 hedge plants, the canes kept breaking and were dust in one we found a large beetle i sent it to forest research a letter came back it was an asian bamboo longhorn beetle and we had to burn all the canes.
