    Some good felling there Jake, in some nice locations .

    It was growing on dead black thorn, so i had sort of ruled out the Bitter bracket. I tried to cut a cross section but it was tough and slippery, it pinged into the hedge!

    I think that this is a greasy bracket, any thoughts. The bracket is very rubbery, and greasy.

    Juniper growing out of reach of the grazing zone near the Witches Step on Arran
  5. slack ma girdle
    Yes

    I have found a load more in a different place. I have cut open a number of the fruit, and they are definitely Malus of some form.
  7. slack ma girdle
    Its definitely not a cherry. I was thinking Arran whitebeam, but i don't think it is.

    Half way up a mountain on Arran, group of 20. I forgot to bring an ID book

    Where are you based Shaun?

    Hare's foot inkcap. New one for me.

    I would start with Alder leaf beatle, which you won't be able to do anything about . Phytophthora is possible, but you won't be able to do anything about. Wait and see what happens next year.

    At least you have a plan B.

    Would it not be quicker just to drive the Log bullet up and collect the timber? I hate winching

    Have a vague plan, but don't doggedly stick to it. When it is not flowing as it should, change it early before it becomes a problem . Make sure that other peoples views are heard, even if you don't think what they are saying is right. Sometimes people suprise you with good suggestions that will save you time and money. Individually thank everyone working at the end of the day, there is nothing worse than flogging your guts out all day, and feeling Unvalued.

    That looks like blossom wilt. Cut out all the infected material, and burn it. I've treated a couple of cherrys like this, and sprayed the adjacent branches with a diluted mix of Jays fluid. You have to be very methodical for a number of years, but both trees i have been treating are not showing any signs ofvthe disease.

    My Nuffield 10/60 cost £500 18 years ago, up until the flywheel bearing collapsed last year, only needed a new starter motor.

    My best for felling & extraction to roadside was £14 per m3, my worst is £79. There are too many variables for each site, and don't forget to factor in breakdowns. I consider a week without a breakdown an exceptional week.

    Most tree officers are reasonable, i would speak to them, and arrange a site visit. If you are not trying to hide anything, and the trees have only been pruned i wouldn't be overly worried. Tree officers in my experience tend to get afficious when you are trying to hide things.

    Everything! Work out a plan for the wood, timber volumes, what the owner want to do with the wood, and tie that in with a felling regime. Sort out the felling licences EPS checks and maps. Unleash the gibbon horde of subbies to fell and extract. Pay the woodland owner for the standing timber. Sort out buyers and transport for the cut timber. Generally i am working small woods and extracting less than 300 tonnes.

    This is where fools like me step in, cut out the circus.
  22. slack ma girdle
    Have to disagree, i generate all my own work, and at the point now as one finishes, an new one replaces it. Standing sales are very buoyant at the moment. I stay under the radar to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.

    Found this fella at the weekend.

    I tried some screw in tungsten studs, fantastic grip, but impossible to drive machinery in.

    I take your one inch, and raise you another 5. Needless to say the jack didn't push the tree over
