    Can you explain this one?

    Yes it is due to root grafts with neighbouring tree(s) that have been left standing. I have seen stumps that have fully calloused over.

    Just out of interest Paul, what are the barriers to the CHAS and Trustmark schemes to non approved contractors?

    Ha ha.. you nearly got me. 5 x 12 = 60! Who you trying to kid.

    Excellent Video. Thanks for posting Darrin

    Could you take that photo down please. That is one of my lapsed pollard restorations and I don't want it mocked.

    Thanks for explaining that to the remedial maths pupil here! Not sure I need 70 files of one size though!

    Eh? Where does the £7.20 + VAT per dozen come in? They are all priced at £9.00+Vat on the linked page!

    I wonder if his sons are of similar athletic build? How misleading names can be.

    Is this meant to be a helpful response to the OP or are you just claiming bragging rights?

    Thanks for sticking your head above the parapet Gary. The research on lapsed pollards at Burnham Beeches is still ongoing. They have had some very interesting observations on the relative success/failure of various pruning techniques on lapsed pollards recently. To my thinking bringing long lapsed pollards back is tantamount to topping and agree that one needs to take species, age, site conditions etc in into consideration. I was trying to stir up a little more thought about the responses given to the OP. rather than a knee jerk reaction to a photo of a tree which we know very little about. Despite

    I would recommend that you read The Ancient Yew A History of Taxus Baccata by Robert Bevan Jones and then put your saws away. You can then continue to drive past the yew safe in the knowledge that the tree will not only outlive you but your children, their children, their children's children and so on! This is one tree that is well equipped to look after itself. If you must cut something, continue to cut back any ivy regrowth.

    Looks kind of Eucalyptusy to me. Interesting branching habit may be suggestive that the tree had been topped previously when it was much smaller? I would be interested to know how many of the learned tree surgeons on this forum would go about restoring a lapsed pollard. After all isn't this just topping by another name?

    Dynamite!
  20. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Could it be a graft?
  21. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Good looking pile of topsoil there
  22. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Definitely something more mundane I'm afraid.

    Top bar hives are very easy to make compared to most others so would echo TGBs musings there. Not sure how practical the cedar bee house would be for controlling Varroa though.
  24. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    I know several people with Warre hives too. These are good if you just want to keep bees but are not interested in harvesting product.
  25. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    I would have changed channel when that pair of jokers came on. I have several friends who have log hives along side their conventional hives. They tend to use them for keeping bees but not producing any honey from them. So yes they do work but are less practical than the conventional Langstroth, National or Smith type hives. I would suggest that Top Bar hives sit somewhere in the middle with regards practicality.
