    we had all our spruce trees wide spread in similar condition this year from plantings to 25year plus trees with no signs of insect damage with this years new growth not affected,we put it down to drought conditions or possible frost damage,over the last couple years of warms springs we have had trouble establishing norway spruce plantings with the ground drying out so much but this year its not so bad so shouldnt have so much beating up to do:001_smile:

    we had same thing happen to a beech when treated stumps near to it, i put it down to root grafts ,3 years later the beech seems ok but had to remove a few limbs that didnt do so well.

    cheers nick we had some year old chestnut 2m lenght 5 bays stacked high acheive same sort of weight 23-24tone on a unit that can carry up to 26 tonnes had a load of larch 2.3m length the other year stacked high on a unit that could carry up to 29tonne and only got 24tonne had been cut for 3 months and dried out a bit as it was summer.
  23. Ben Ballard
    Hi Nick hope you dont mind me asking but whats the most lose m3 or solidcube you have got on your lorry if you have had to dome the tops to get the weight?
  24. Ben Ballard
    to true ,the only way your solid m3 will be close to your tonne is if it is green eg oak beech or summer felled ash
  25. Ben Ballard
    we sometimes sell by loose capacity filled in a lorry in m3 but often i will work it out in solid m3 with out air gaps
