What's a c anal forager, dare I ask?

To be fair, he is quite entertaining, and the portfolio of subjects that he contributes to is wide and varied. Unlike other trolls on here.

I must move in the wrong circles. The vast majority of people I know earn less than 100k. Even combined incomes between couples. Those that do earn over that are doctors, consultants, and don't begrudge the tax they pay at all. Not surprising with the conditions they have to work under. Id be surprised if many tree people on Arbtalk earn over 100k actually. It'd be interesting to know.

Some good points there. Regarding leaf mould; given that it's such great stuff, why isn't it produced commercially? I've never seen it for sale at least. There must be a market for it. Especially with the shocking stuff that passes for compost these days.

I think we can guess why that happened. 😜

The chaps provided on the CS courses that I did 15 plus years ago were like medieval plate armor, in comparison to my current trousers, (and they're not even particularly fancy ones).

Nice. Cheers for the corroboration. 👍

Eucalyptus Tree dying off after pollarding??
sime42 replied to Julie123's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Good point, what is the theory behind painting the lower portion of tree trunks white? I keep meaning to raise the question on here. It's a definite continental thing, I've seen it all over Europe, more so in Central and Eastern Europe and round the med. Also in China. I've seen a couple of reasons;- to protect the trees from sun and insect damage. Don't really buy either of those though. What's going on? -
No, no thorns at all. It's definitely a Hawthorne, same fishy smell to the flowers and 5 large, hard seeds inside. The fruit is about damson sized. More rapid harvesting time is a big bonus. It's quite an attractive tree too, more of an open tree form and less shrubby than native Hawthorne. /images/crataegus-pinnatifida-var-major-big-golden-star-tree-p817-2209_medium.jpg Crataegus pinnatifida var major | Chinese Hawthorn Trees For Sale WWW.ORNAMENTAL-TREES.CO.UK Crataegus pinnatifida var major 'Big Golden Star' is a Chinese Hawthorn tree.

I'm warming to the idea of making sloe gin and other such drinks dry initially. We made a batch of Hawthorne gin last season, (large Chinese Hawthornes), and did it without sugar. It is quite sour and astringent but not unpleasantly so. It's easily tempered by the sweetness in the tonic water as you say. I might split the bottle and sweeten some slightly for neat drinking, and leave the rest as it is. Same with stewed fruit. I used to add sugar before bottling always but find that these days most things have enough inherent sweetness. Plums certainly do. It's another acquired taste thing I guess.

For all the posturing and fronting up to people you're surprisingly thin skinned bud. Lighten up. People are always going to take the piss if you only contribute to an internet forum to try and get into fights with folk all the time. You could just dial it down a little.

Ha ha. I was speaking generally but your photo prompted the thought. Though as I was writing I had the nagging idea that yours might have been a Magnolia, not cherry! I've noticed recently that they look quite similar from a distance. Similar size, colour and same timing.

I'd recommend an explosive HISS at the moment of eruption.

Ain't that the truth. Though cat shit buried in your veggie garden multiple times a day is worse. Truly disgusting. I used to live next to a woman who had six of the buggers, they all treated our garden as their personal latrine. I'd not heard of the Aussie stance before, needless to say I'm completely in favour.

Interesting idea. Is that tried and tested?
