    I thought as much but needed a second opinion before condemming. Thanks for confirming my fears.
  2. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    and this
  3. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Try this

    I would make it bigger but not sure how to. As when I save it to my album it seems to resize it to that above. Any pointers?

    Can anyone shed any light on what this black fruit body might be? It was found on a failed beech limb. What is its significance for the health of the tree?

    I think you mean FLUE A FLUME is very usefull for logs too but quite different to a FLUE!

    I think it will be a long time before you cut yourself with a Silky again. It's certainly a case of once bitten twice shy. Just be thankfull it wasn't an 020!

    Can you give me pointers towards the instructions for these methods please?

    I thought this thread was about splices not slices! Custard slice for me please.

    I'll second that! Note: Arboriculturalist does not appear in the OED so lets do our best to get it in!

    "Butchery" perhaps? I could not agree more with your synopsis. It will no doubt provide habitat for fungi, insects etc as it continues to decline. That is if it is not removed sooner rather than later. It would be good to see some photos of it in 5 years time.

    Arrrrhhhh. Can't believe I just listened to Simon Mayo. Short wasn't it? But anything that raises the profile of our industry has to be a good thing. No? I want to see the stump grinder that fits in a toolbox! It must either be a very small stump grinder or a very large tool box. I dislike the term arborist and beleive his interpretation to be wrong. I agree with Paul its the North American term for a tree surgeon. Why cant we say Arboriculturalist over here? Do we have to dumb everything down? Ho hum

    It looks distinctly like a log to me.....no wait.............................yes definitely a log!

    Pictures 2 and 4 suggest that the little rascal has a pair of secateurs! Picture one looks like a fungal/bacterial attack on the leading shoot. Basically, as tomer suggests, tis hard to make out from the pictures alone.

    Where's that bridge? Norwich?

    Yes it’s fine to remove it completely. In fact it is best to do this when the tree is at this stage of growth as the pruning wounds will be small and will callus over quickly. It’s your tree so prune it for the shape you want to achieve. If you want it to look ‘wild’ then don’t bother pruning it at all. If you want good form then fill yer boots! If you are going to prune it just try to imagine how the limbs will develop as they thicken and grow in length and let this be your guide. Hope this helps.

    This story is but one version of several that have made the e-mail rounds in recent months. The Urban Legends section of About.com: Work Moose in Harness (Moose Logging) does a thorough job of debunking these stories. The photo, the basis of the tale, is a composite of different images. This is revealed by examining features like the Chevaux d'Abitibi patch on the man's jacket, the harness strap that leads nowhere, and the mirror-image woodpiles.

    Oh and dont prune it now. If your really desperate to get going, prune it in late summer when the leaves have fully hardened. But if you can wait until winter you will be better able to see the overall shape with the leaves off. Good luck!

    Looks pretty small to me. I would prune it right out. Looks like the tree has had no formative pruning? Do you want large long limbs developing 16 inches from the ground?
  22. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Frost?

    We applied for this funding. Whilst they will fund any ground work based training, they will not fund any training that involves working at height. Has anyone come across any source of funding for working at height available in Scotland?
  24. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Thanks for the reply. I managed to pick some up at Buxtons.

    Death without any trial?
