could start a pole dancing club under that Cedar curious to know what the benifit of those props would be over bracing, e.g cobra??? or an end weight reduction?? would have thought cobra on those cedar limbs would allow the branches to undertake a more natural sideways, and restricted vertical movement in high winds, allowing the branches to carry on growing stronger??? liking tims yew props

anyone in the uk can easily obtain a shot gun-for a SG licence anyone can say they want to take up clay shooting-the firearms officer just needs a reason not to issue you one-criminal record for armed robbery would be one! its the ownership of illegal guns is where the problems start . . .

hiax are bloody comfy, but having same problem with mine, 10months old, and screwed

i like trees, but im not a boring hippy. . . . why are you walking away????

hog roast diddnt see one at the apf

not really eco-friendly, but stick the chipper on full revs when, the hot exhaust gasses are fantastic at drying socks, boots, t-shirts ect dry feet...lovely:)

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. . . customer must have been blind

how many times did you say 'you must be fxxking joking' 'nah mate, you gotta be pulling my leg' ??? last lot of ivy removal we done, found a ruddy dildo!

wearing the harness properly is the key-i hated the tree-magic when i first tried it as it crushed me knackers so carried on using the old willans for a bit, then had the treeflex harness for a year or so, real nice, still got it as a spare, new employer then got me a tree-magic, which properly adjusted is brilliant! cant stress enough how much difference wearing the harness correctly can improve comfort! the other thing you need to try variations of is your rope-the diffrence between 11&13mm is very noticeable (if only girls thought so) also i soon found i really dont like stretchy ropes-personal opinion! some suppliers will give you a discount if youre an arb student, or if you buy a couple of things at a time, be cheeky, do a bit of teeth sucking, say the price is a bit steep, and see if they'll do you a discount - 10% on £300s worth of kit is £30-3 karabinas!

flippin funny that

thought when he told the announcer bloke that he could go faster, he shoulda been given another go, i know it wasnt in the schedule, but it would have been intresting!

Always had hiax but are always pretty much buggered after just a year, current pair have lasted 10months and will need replacing before the winter weather really like them though, really really comfy, whats simmilar??

cheers for the free bottle mr Collins & Winger! my manager and a few others, took the pee out of me all day-i saw the timberwolf stand and thought 'i wonder if theyve got that hagguland based chipper still' so i split from the others and go straight to the timberwolf buss to ask, but to the others it looked like i made some pathetic excuse and made a bee-line straight for the TW girl dressed very nicely in a skimpy union jack bikini & hotpants thank-you TW

customer last week had two pups for sale, father regestered, mother not, both purebreeds though, as no papers the dog pup was £200, bitch pup £250 13weeks old, in histon, near cambridge if youre intrested?

use cuttings instead/aswell as pictures, for your cards. write down the simple things that stand out for you-camoflage style bark on Platanus x hispanica was something that stuck out for me, as hints/clues on your revision cards pay attention to the trees as the seasons change, keep updating yourself even on the obvious trees as the leaves drop off, dormancy, buds arrive, buds burst, full leaf, the more you pay attention to them through the seasons, the easier youll find it. then try identifying the trees from just the bark, or the branch structure from a distance, if youre struggling, then look at the twigs, which youve already studied and hopefully learnt! easiest way is to work in the tree-hours of being up close and personal with the one species!

what sort of numpty makes a log pile on a hill, directly above his colleagues, who also happen to be his 'friends'??? theres calculated risks, then theres downright stupidity. english H&S would have had a field day never the less, quite enjoyed it! would be a good video to show arb students with a test entitled "how many H&S issues can you spot?"

ditto

most words can be traced back to latin or greek, as they both were one of the original languages in the old old old days. whats important is that as professionals we know that there is room for both common and latin names-you dont want to alienate customers by always using latin - they lust want that big oaky type tree cutting, if you turn round and say i recommend a 20%crown reduction, crown clean, and raise on your Quercus robur, many will say 'WTF?!? can you tell me that in english please? oh you mean a short back and sides' but on a professional level, using latin-where relevant can prevent confusion, as your being more specific. in reply to your previous posts dean, re making things simpler to understand, common names are a new simpler way of catogrising trees-instead of the Quercus taxonomic genus, we have Oak family, instead of ilex as the taxonomic species, we have holly, holme or evergreen oak - but thats 3 names for one tree! ARRRHGGGHHH a 3rd way of clasification would be even more confusing! just tag every tree

its in the word, Arbor originating from the latin for tree

in my opinion, its more professional using latin, especially in quotes or schedule of works, we do call ourselves arborists afterall. its universal too-anyone worked with foreigners whose english isnt 100%? or worked abroard? whats everyone going to understand, A) A yew B) L’if commun C) Taxus baccata?

any pics? how tall to the original pollard? by the sounds of it, seeing as they dont want removal, and you dont want a crap looking result or to remove the stubs, the obvious option would be to pollard lower, possibly bellow all stubs??? its willow-it'll regrow from any work-even in your log pile!

thatd be one way to cut conifier hedges

sounds blatantly obvious, but supprisingly common, but when taking photos, make sure theres a before pic, a during pic, and an after pic-with photos of YOU doing the work-no point photographing your boss-he's not on work experience!
