The leaf and busy crown are suggesting Arbutus but the bark is totally wrong for unedo; I don't know about the bark of any others though. A possibility?
-
Go for it. 30 firewood trees is what you have. The wood dries fast once split and burns a treat. So what if it burns faster than hardwood? It's free. 95% of what I put on the burner at home is conifer; it makes for a warm life and presents no problems at all.

Yes, probably though a local neanderthal cut down a multi-stemmed one that was 6-7m. A picture it was...
-
Good enough for me. Thanks.
-
Fair enough but isn't the form of the tree more 'hazel' than elm? Not arguing, just asking...
-
If the flowers were pure yllow, orange or anything in between I'd guess Hamamelis - Witch Hazel. If so that's a good sized specimen; be nice to it, they're beautiful.
-
I wasn't going to be first though
-
Me too. And now we're going to be the ones responsible for a sticker saying 'Warning: remove cover before using'! Oh the shame...

On a slight sidetrack I once offered a girl a piece of mango as she'd never tried it and she said it felt like sperm!

This Thursday 16th: Caterham -> Gloucester return trip, stopping for brunch in Oxford!

The classic answer to this question in gardening circles is to cut the bindweed to the ground, let it regrow (up sticks in a small area), then hit it with glyphosate, either sprayed or wiped on for small amounts. I doubt you'll ever kill off established bindweed with a single application though.

Another possibility is the market for turners - now that's a discussion in itself but not for here! If you slice a union down the heart you have two pieces that can each potentially provide excellent patterns for turning. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mtb594jixc5stb5/YAq4Cy6NmZ

Google Treespanner and ask Charlie for something suitable. He's at Lingfield you'll see.

Oh I don't know; not after 'not been sober for last 6-8 weeks'!!!
-
Boogga! Egg on face here then, 10/10 to you; well done. 10psi's a bit firm for moss crossing isn't it? I've disc-harrowed with 5psi in the back tyres to minimise compaction!
-
Ha ha. If you try please film it!
-
Good stuff. I'm going to stack criss cross this year but along a row of 8-10 pallets. I'll need that many as my cord isn't anything like as perfect as yours. Hopefully the open stack will give faster drying too.
-
Very smart but needs some ventilation for wet clothing.
-
Not at the British School of Osteopathy it wasn't when I used to attend regularly. On the slab, students and tutors squeezing, twisting and crunching. I used to love my lower back being cracked but the chiro treats in a very different way - still on the slab though!
-
But who's to say if the problem is purely muscular? The symptoms may present as muscular pain but that doesn't mean the cause lies there.
-
£60 for the first, hour long consultation, then £40 per half hour treatment. I use one now as he's proved more effective than sports physios and osteopaths (no-one can tell you the difference between an osteo and a chiro btw) but every person and every practitioner is different. If he/she doesn't work for you try someone else, not necessarily a chiro. If your problem is medium/long-term keep trying them until you find one that works. For your info, and possibly something to ask your chiro about, mine uses McTimoney Chiropractic

As far as the sheer dimensions go I wouldn't worry too much. I know someone in the south east who recently put a 36' mobile home on a flatbed truck to move it a few miles. He told the local Police and the Highways Agency; neither were in the least interested as he wasn't going to straddle two lanes of an A or M road. So the move was down to him and mates going on ahead to block junctions etc.
-
I was hoping someone from the Southern Hemisphere would show those: I remember a whole road lined with them on both sides in Perth. What a sight. Thanks mrmrfoster.
-
Thank you sir. Given the unflattering shape presented by pics 2&3 I'm a bit reluctant to admit to having scrambled all over it last summer taking 10%+ length off everything and giving the whole crown a serious thin; there was very little light getting into it. The shape really is better than those two pics make out, honest guv.

Bossy boots. Anyone would think this was your thread. As promised the specimen from today's work's neighbour. Not quite pure white after all but the camera lies; it's actually whiter than in the pics with just a slight pink flush.
