  1. It looks like its been ring barked. You are onto a hiding for nothing trying to keep it going, it will keep declining until it falls over. Start again.
  2. Thats one hell of a log, if a crane of that size is struggling to move it.
  3. Finishing the week with a good sunset.
  4. If anyone is interested , and you have access to Spruce, and the time every 2 weeks to collect samples. You can take part in the Ips survey. myForest • About Forest Lab MYFOREST.SYLVA.ORG.UK myForest provides comprehensive online mapping, digital tools, and the latest resources not only to sustainably manage... Thankfully nothing has turned up in west Wales this year.
  5. The start of 350m3 of Poplar. For once a flat site, and dry underfoot.
  6. A: Is this a fung, the crystal one amongst the lichen B:Any ideas?
  7. Bog trotting this time.
  8. Really good show, met lots of interesting people. The logging championships were impressive, especially the hot saws. The no sleeping in vehicles was a pain, so spent 2 nights in the car park. The Rotatilt stand let me play, and I was sold until I worked out that I could only lift 100 kg with it on the end of my digger. ( I won't mention the £24k price tag)
  9. Supatracks work well. Quick to put in, and quick to remove providing you haven't lost the tool.
  10. Giant Polypore, probably not a good prognosis for the tree.
  11. There is nothing that will remedy that level of canker, other than a chainsaw.
  12. Slime mold, this web site is quite good for I.D. Slime Moulds and allies | NatureSpot WWW.NATURESPOT.ORG.UK
  13. Making a wet Alder carr wetter with a series of dams. Got the digger properly stuck. Debogging.mp4
  14. We are working in an Alder carr, making it wetter. Some trees are covered in Alder tongue, but the majority have none.
  15. The more i read about lichens the less i understand. Way more complicated than just Algae/ fungi symbiosis. Its good when nature makes you go WTF.
  16. @David Humphries Ascocoryne cylichnium? but i don't have a microscope to compare the spores
  17. Generally with BT lines we undo them from the top of the pole and drop the line. Fell or dismantle the tree and reassemble. If the line gets broken get the customer to ring BT to report a fault. We won't do this if the line is supplying loads of houses. Power lines always have a yellow sign warning of death on them.
  18. I kept coming back to the Purple Jellydisk, but it didn't seem to fit. But i can not find anything else similar. Cheers @David Humphries
  19. I give up, any thoughts? Very small, gowing on sweet chestnut. Grovey purple to.
  20. Have you produced any viable seed? Some of those would be suitable for a couple of my sites.
  21. Lifting and turning, no BT lines were hurt in the makig of his video.
  22. I will be there for 2 days
