  1. WJ Kent? Used to have their yard at Cane Hill until it got built on; I think they moved about 100yds! I think they're on here actually as their AA accreditation was announced on here a few years back
  2. Has anyone actually used these as a chip truck? Would they work? I don't know but a few years ago @Old Mill Tree Care actually seriously asked the same questions I remember. I think there was no definitive answer!
  3. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😆
  4. This. Be nice to nature
  5. Nutbush City Limits is still awesome with the volume and bass cranked up!
  6. Eighty flippin three years old - your mum's generation!

    Jokes???

  8. I'd be looking to slacken the tie too; let the tree move in the wind to strengthen the root system
  9. Seriously? I thought such weapons were supposed to be more last lines of defence than go to's
  10. Babes can't complain the food isn't fresh!!! Great shot
  11. Caught this little one in my hand to help it from the greenhouse a few days ago. The same greenhouse that sadly killed an adult male GS Woodpecker the next day when it flew into the end. Wifey's ordered some clear stickers that are invisible to us but not birds apparently; something to do with uv light transmission. Anyone know anything about them?
  12. He/she looks young to be out of the nest 😔
  13. Not a lot different on The One Show this evening!
  14. Well the UK hype got well and truly thrown back in our faces didn't it 🤣
  15. Agreed. The rot on the top of the stump suggests the tree was in someone's garden and cut down some years ago since when rot has begun where the wood's been exposed to the elements. The stump has then been dug up, cleaned and the roots cut, probably by hand
  16. I do indeed; empty - nothing there 😄
  17. Here in the south we had a brief but very cold spell when the ground was unusually wet (can't remember if the same applies further north). Loads of plants haven't made it that would normally have been expected to take the cold spell. As has been alluded to above eucs seem temperamental to our cold winter snaps Nice reduction Andrew Jon
  18. My experience of selling to turners is that 9-14" diameter rings sell OK though MP seems to have fallen out of fashion. With those sizes it may be worth cutting at every other knot ring - just above or below a ring - so that the lumps have two eye rings: that way the piece can be turned into a vase or cut down again by the buyer No-one's making a fortune from selling but it may be worth contacting Home WWW.STILESANDBATES.CO.UK to see if they'd be interested; they're near Dover
  19. All that explanation and my reaction is one word - wow!
  20. Probs a 16" beaver, not a 6" road tow 😊
  21. I can't be sure but it looks like the soil level has been raised around the trunks. That's not a good thing to do and can often result in a slow death; lack of oxygen to the roots, decay of the bark followed by infection of the live tissue underneath
  22. Found where one of our robins is nesting yesterday; a great place for it VID-20230423-WA0007.mp4
  23. Airlocks not a problem as the 25L Aspen drums have breathers

    Lawson cypress top out?

    I would guess that your TPO is an area one, not one specific to your address; I can't see another way of such scrappy trees attracting protection. If I'm wrong read no further but if I'm right... if the Lawsons were planted after the TPO was placed they aren't covered by it; they don't look to be that old
  25. @5thelement Could I bother you for an ebay link if poss or exactly what to search for? I bought two of the Aspen pouring spouts and they very quickly found themselves in the bin Cheers
