  1. i think i will wait till you have one in my garden 400 hundred acres of parkland cool:001_smile:
  2. you could also try stockholm tar which is used on horses hooves to stop fungle infections that is what i use:001_smile:
  3. The bad news is i will have to clear it all away:thumbdown:
  4. DEAN YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS. i was cutting rides in the woods today i cut a nice wide ride at the end of a plantation went through the plantation and into the wood and onto the next wood on my return someone had tipped a lorry load of tree waste with bin bag rubbish on my nice wide ride:mad1:
  5. I have just cleared an old orchard in it is the oldest pear tree i have seen but it has no pears this year it has never been cut, would cutting it be good for it or should i leave it alone. also the same for two old bramelys many thanks for lots of advise.
  6. Shock horror i was in the park today and came across a turkey oak and it looks just like yours rupe and the fruiting bodies are around the buttress at ground level going up to a metre.
  7. to high for fistulina hepitica try inonotus dryadeus:001_smile:
  8. may well be huntingdon elm we think we have one here because this tree just does not get dutch elm and huntingdon elm is suposed to be dutch elm resistant.
  9. I had a contractor fell a large oak and he cut through the three uprights of an old park guard iron oh dear:sneaky2:
  10. Ian you have won the prize thats the right answer:001_smile:did you ever post how much you made for your charcoal burn?
  11. Iwas in london on saturday and as i was riding on the bus i was looking at trees (how sad) and i was thinking what a good looking tree the london plane is and so well suited to the stresses of city life and as other trees were dying the planes seem to all survive to a good old age.
  12. 10 years time maybe i will move up to the big house and give butlering a go. HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR TEA MY LORD.
  13. I would like a 088 i would also like a 36 inch bar but hey whats 6 inches:001_tongue:
  14. No JCB i phoned the FC and they told me to dig as much as i could as i was planting anouther tree which has taken well but the tree next to it has just died about 12 years old:001_smile:
  15. thats good i could never tell it was a carving:001_smile:
  16. 066 with a 30 inch bar and a husky 268.
  17. Burn it, i was jesting:001_smile: we have all fungi in the parkland and all stumps are left for conservation purposes. the only stump i did remove was an oak stump in the avenue with honey fungus i removed the stump and dug a 3 meter square hole and filled with top soil but it still poped up in the autumn:001_smile: around the hole oh dear.
  18. Andy where did you get the timber tongs from i also like i am going to pm you to see if we can meet i am liking your trailor ideas and would like to see in action well made mate.
  19. I think dean is right we must move into the real world, time is money and your time needs to be paid for. My brother in law is an architecht and comes across this all the time, so now you pay him for what he does if he gets planning permission and not the drawings at least he gets paid for what he has done, we need to see this sort of situ coming and have it allready worked out if we can.
  20. Andy i like, how much did it cost to make? i also like the hitch on the back so you can take anouther trailor with tools ect in good idea. i recognise the brickwork on your house but cant put my finger on it.
  21. Burn it:blushing:
  22. Ihave not seen any A indica with bleeding cankers but mine have got leaf minors and i too thought they were resistant.
  23. Ihave started looking at my veteran horse chestnuts and 4 so far have bad bleeding cankers oozing the light brown and the dark brown fluid not a good start i hope it gets better as i go round.
  24. Give up your day job dean and become a nanny:ohmy:
  25. Yep to leave as a standing stone maybe?
