    Xylaria polymorpha. It grows on dead timber, so is probably growing out of a rot pocket Of the tree.

    The question should be: How big is my Lime tree going to get? Lime trees get big, and quickly. They cast heavy shade, have large leaves. You will have continual issues with blocked gutters, algae growing on shaded walls. No matter how clever the design you will have a detrimental effect on the tree, which will lead the tree into slow decline, and regular unsympathetic heavy pruning.

    Barkbox

    Bark Boxs sound good from a long way away , but do nothing for performance, and with chipper spec ear defenders are still way too loud . @Crocky mod to my Dolmar 7310 has a pleasing 'put' much better performance , without being anti socially loud. Money much better spent on a professional port.

    Its not a lovely tree, its an unloved tree. It is probably suffering from root compaction , competition with the grass lawn, water stress, and its been pollarded. I would also guess that there is strimmer damage around the base of the tree. Whitebeams are not large trees, so i am not sure why it needed to be pollarded. Watering every day may be enough to revive it. If it does survive i would remove some of the grass around the base and put a thick layer of mulch down.

    Would it not be better to natural crutch rig in smaller trees?

    Cheers @Crocky can't wait to get my grubby mits on Big Dolly.

    Stop teasing me, you know its cruel to keep an idiot in suspense.

    This is really hard to describe, i will do a short video describing what and why when i find a suitable tree. I would have filmed this tree but the ground was too steep, and high levels of bramble .

    I have come to the assumption that the diagonal face cut has to be as long as you can make it, which means a high stump. And nope i didn't put a rope on it

    Cherry

    One of these, larch with a heavy lean towards 33kv power line. This is the last of a row of 7. I have alot go wrong in the past , and have been practicing were its doesn't matter.

    Winch is your only option, and i don't think a manual winch will be up to the job. Can you not just leave it, aerial dead wood is a valuable habitat.

    There seems to be a distinct lack of Dolmar's in this thread😜

    Cheers for crushing my dreams again David. I think i will have to go back this Autumn and see if i can find it again .

    Just zoomed in on the original, yes they do

    The first fungi is growing on a firewood offcut that i uncovered with the digger moving timber around. The possible oak polypore i photograph in September. I have been looking on the NBN database and there are only a couple of records in Wales for the polypore.

    Trying to I.D this with the help of @David Humphries book, but i can not work it out any thoughts . Also is the last picture Oak Polypore. I photo'ed It a couple of years ago, and haven't I.D it. Whilst looking through the book it looks very similar.

    Generally i find that woodland owners don't know what they want to do with their woods. Do the woods have any rare species associated with Ash? How many use the footpaths every day? Are there local do-gooders that are likely to stir up trouble? Health & safety legislation when concerned with public safety supperceds all other legislation. If the owner isn't sure what they want to do with the wood, then your best option is to fell out everything with the potential to fall across public roads/ paths, and replant.

    Thin cord prussic always has and always will be an absolute git to release under load. Blakes hitch can always be released under load. Why don't you set the system up and test it to destruction to see what breaks first , i.e. with a tractor in a field.

    Measure out a 5.6m circle in the wood, and count the number of trees, measure the dbh of each tree, and tree height. Depending on how variable the trees are you will need to repeat 6-20 times. You will need to get your hands on the tariff tables to work out tree volume and total volume . Each 5.6m plot is 0.001 of a hectare, so times by 100 to get volume and tree total per hectare. Times by the wood area to get total volume and tree total.

    Timber stacking area is the make or break for small woods. This is what a lot of owners never seem to grasp. Small tree are always slow to process so I would be around the £10-15 mark.

    Being able to cut, stack, and chip whole manky Leylandii doesn't half make life easier. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lFy1pX8JIyk&t=3s

    Scorpion fly. The end of the abdomen is raised up with the red tip like a scorpion , hence the name .
