Please help identify small tree in my garden!
nepia replied to Ukelele82's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Ignore them. They won't do any long term harm. In the warmer months you're likely to be visited by Viburnum Beetle, both the larvae and adults of which cause will far more visible damage but again the plant can deal with them -

Another for V.tinus, an extremely resilient plant. If you ever want to reduce the size of it don't be shy - hammer it -
Small point but the last time I was there Woldingham was in Surrey! Ironically I used to know a guy who lived there and made a living shifting timber, amongst other things, with his Mog. I've lost his name and number but I doubt he's still doing it. There; wasn't I useful. Hope you find someone more so 😁

I guess you guys must be right to at least some extent or there'd be way more extra cabs but we aren't the only ones who could benefit: tradesmen of all sorts could benefit. But the fact is they're an oddity. When I bought my current one I'd been watching it on the Nissan website for a few months before the old one told me 'get rid of me now before I cost you lots': this one was the only King Cab there out of over 240 Navaras. No wonder it was in Barrow-in-Furness!

So why are they so rare Mark? I'm on my third King Cab Navara and can't imagine being without one. As you imply they tick so many boxes they just make sense

Seats up and down at the same time. Novel!

Is this the wettest (firewood selling )autumn you have known !
nepia replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Our winds are driven by the temperature difference between the poles and the equator. The poles are warming faster than the equator so that difference is reducing = less wind in global terms -

Same here. Whenever I was at my logstore a few years ago there seemed to be at least a breeze; not so much now - there seem to be more still days -

Yep, spot on; logs are taking forever to dry this year. In fact I've found them being harder to dry for the last three years or so for some reason but there could be local environmental changes causing that And things aren't going to get better any time soon! The stilling: global wind speeds slowing since 1960 EC.EUROPA.EU Few people have probably noticed, but the world’s winds are getting slower. It is something that cannot be picked up by watching the billowing of dust or listening to the rustle of... -
I've heard of such things before but never myself felt the need; I generally grab a branch off the pile of brush to be chipped and use that. If potential blocking is a recurring issue I simply feed in less each go. All of which seems utterly logical to me. What does help (with my M300) when chipping small conifer brush is to feed the branches the wrong way round if you can: the green slows the drum more than the stem so feeding the green with the drum at maximum revs helps with throw of the chip

Good work as ever 👍

That's a horrible freak accident. Poor guy and family

My mate and I were going to work near Bromley today but the forecast changed between 7.45 and 8.30 this morning! No problem to do the job another day so he forewent the pleasure of slip sliding around a large cherry

Ash will burn indeed. Remember that the smaller you split the logs the tighter they'll pack and less will be the airflow. Something to consider. But with ash - not a problem

My tree overhanging neighbours land, Can I prune it?
nepia replied to milonic's topic in Trees and the Law
And take plenty of pics before, during and after, especially of those precious Leylands -
Love the finish on Nessie; took some time!
-
So what is the pic? One satellite on time lapse? You can see loads of satellites on a clear night although that one is very bright; you just need to look for moving stars that obviously aren't planes!
-
I thought it was time lapse of a single satellite. If not what's going on?
-
Just out of interest what is a slutpriser (just above the map)? ☺️
-
Do the branches have a small number of thorns? The leaf and flower is looking very much like Elaeagnus x Ebbingei. I've never seen one that size but I'm not aware of anything that says that if a specimen was left alone it couldn't attain it

Frank Matthews' plants are excellent quality in my experience; I bought four apples and a plum earlier this year and they're all in fine fettle. I've seen many others of theirs in the past too - always good
