    Also i find this very interesting safety in outher countries i do find this country alittle over the top at times, and when you go to spain and watch the builders oh my goodness. personal safety in this country seems to be more paper work. I would like to hear more from our arb cousins across the water:001_cool:

    What is the rule in the usa for ppe and the one handed chainsaw user with jeans on or should i say livis a little nick on the leg is the last thing you want.Where i work we had a farm worker chainsawing on the ground with no safety boots on and cut his toes off.
  22. David oakman
    That is very sad poor tree, trees need respect and man to look after them for the better not to do this sort of thing. If you get a chance read some books on victorian tree care they new there stuff.

    Ebay here i come as del boy sez i could be a millionaire:001_smile:
  24. David oakman
    No i was not here then but i know all about the three sisters oaks. It would be nice to talk to you about the missing tree and how much work it took. The stump has Armillaria and it runs along all exposed roots around the pond, one is doing well with lovely running buttresses and the outher is standing on a stilt effect on decayed buttresses.Oh the joy of looking after historic veteran trees.

    I am sorry you will have to wait, i have not got a didgi camara yet we are very slow here in the countryside only just learnt to use the computer. out of interest my employers bought me the Taxodium as a present when i told them what a lovely tree they were.
