Quercus x hispanica 'Fulhamensis'
David oakman replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
Ino reduse and inspect some main roots you will find they have decayed by butt rotters once the main roots have decayed honey fungus will move in and do its job. I have an oak avenue with HF and as i have said before i removed a large stump and dug a 3 metre hole and planted a new oak since then 2 more have died and been felled and the HF comes every autumn the tree i planted is still healthy the secret is in the roots healthy roots healthy tree. -
Anyone know what the biggest bar is you can put on my husky 268 as it was second hand and no manual with it?

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.

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.

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.

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.
