Any ideas what could be killing these hawthorns?
Graham replied to Woodworks's topic in Tree health care
I see a lot in some of the old hedges I lay. Generally find honey fungus and Ganoderma spp present. -
Thank you.

Pleachers running into the ground are ok. Back heeling (splitting back up the pleach) is a definite no. Pleachers will want to back heel if you leave the pleach too thick. Get them low and get all the new growth from low down. Doesn't matter if you use chainsaw or axe. First pic all axe work and second saw work. Using a saw allows you to lay hedges that would be impossible to do properly with an axe.

Phytophora lateralis.

Maybe, somehow, the drop has jolted the crank and a seal is leaking?
-
Just done an 020t for someone. Similar time frame. New impulse hose and carb internals and it runs like new.
-
I'm cringing at the pain just looking at it!
-
Name and shame. Don't think I'd be keen on using a pub/restaurant with a back yard like that.
-
I don't like any that have been mentioned previously and the older I get the more I dislike.

They look like the galls from the second generation of Knopper gall wasps. The first generation galls are from eggs laid on robur and petrea and the second generation are laid on cerris. Or it might be the other way round...can't remember which.

Don't all manufacturers use calcium nowadays? I'd forget the silver bit and just buy a calcium battery.

January 7th, is it just me or is spring here !!
Graham replied to digaholedumper's topic in The Lounge
It's the same every year give or take. Laying a hedge the other day a few leaves were breaking. They do every year. -
Thank you. Very labour intensive and I'll never be a £millionaire :-)

Surprised it was that long! I think the Alfasud beat it by a month or two. My first car was a Mini. Eight years old with a rotted through floor and subframe. Quality!
-
Had mine about 23 years ago. The procedure was fine but boy did it ache when the anaesthetic wore off. My then Mrs treated me to a tin of Quality Street and my feet up in front of the fire. I think I went back to work the following day but took it steady for a while.

A few pics winding up the end of this year. Some match cutting Stafford style and Midland commercial.
-
Glad to hear that it has.

It's something I remember from college. I know young beech retain their juvenile leaves but old beech hedges will as long as they are trimmed. Perhaps there's a link between the production of auxins and 'juvenility'. Been a long time since I was at college and I'm now going to delve a little.
-
Nothing to do with juvenility. Auxins and abscission.
-
I think I've said my bit in the past but to reiterate: It was, and maybe still is, a club for the boys...back-slapping old school tie and all that. Bitter and twisted? Maybe but with good reason. It's a long time ago now and I'm past bothering about the AA but what about the contractors who where once approved and still drive around with the logo displayed on trucks and letterheads after dropping out of the scheme. Are you not bothered chasing them up?
-
Beautiful horses and a leg length that looks perfect for the job. Do you mind if I save some of the photos for my own use?
-
It's because it's trimmed.
-
It's because it's trimmed in Aug or thereabouts. It reduces the production of auxin which triggers abcission.
