It's the Cheshire cork harvest:001_smile:

Thank you mate. One day they'll get the spelling of my name correct:laugh1:

No problem with jokes. You gotta laugh about it:thumbup:

Oh yeah. Never noticed that.

Looks like a keyhole....no idea sorry.

Always use the easy way out but there just wasn't the room:thumbup:

Yeah I'm fine but did have the shakes kick in later:001_smile:

Have you tried soaking it? What rope?

I posted a thread recently re. Pleurotus on an Aesculus we were to fell and just wanted to check they were Pleurotus:001_tt2: The tree is an old pollard situated in the corner of a cemetery. The crown was thinning with Psuedomonas present but looked stable. My intention was to set up a zip line to whizz small sections over the gravestones and reduce the drag to the chipper by 50m. Climbing the tree to fix my anchor I noticed tiny brackets forming in pollard unions which I thought were Ganoderma spp. The tree felt ok on the climb so was not unduly worried. I moved to the opposite side of the tree to fix the zip line high and it didn't feel right. I looked down to see movement in the pollard union and....craaaack I was swung into the centre of the crown. Pulled shoulder and grazed and bruised leg. In 30 yrs climbing it's the only tree I've made a grave misjudgement on its stability.

The answer to the conondrum lies here. My mate thought about a treepedo but money's tight so we make do. Obviously a few get jammed up but we've got plenty left.

About 5' diameter. Came from a dead oak on the estate where I lived.

I had a gorgeous slice of oak which I counted back to c1750 before giving up. My ex has now nailed it to a post for a bird table:sad:

That I don't know. Certainly in the fells we've done recently there hasn't been any visual signs of other fungi evident. ie fruiting bodies but they have all had one thing in common; visual root damage or soil disturbance around the root plates.
-
Tree was situated on a raised area bounded by a low retaining wall. There was evidence of root damage caused by the construction of the wall (1990 evidently) and severe dieback in the right-hand stem shown in the photo. It was on the entrance to residential flats and a public car park.

We seem to have had a spate of fells recently involving Ustulina infected sycamore. Almost to the point that I'm travelling round tuned into the base of every syc I see:001_smile:

I'd go with deodar and pissardii.

Oh dear....here you go....

Virgin stuff:001_smile: Good idea:thumbup1:

Any ideas?

Disturbing nests happens to all of us. We've had squawking magpies hopping all over the road and squirrels squealing and clinging onto fences etc. You never know who's watching and how they percieve your actions.
