  1. Will go to the Acer thread when I get a mo; I'll alert you 👍
  2. I've been holding off a couple until now; hedged I definitely intend to cut soon. The thinking is that they need every bit of greenery to help with recovery from the summer but in November (when they'll be cut) the leaves will have become redundant. I can't see why the rest of the hedge would drop its leaves; crack on I say Btw I've acquired a couple of nice Acers over the summer; I must update that Acer thread sometime!
  3. Bought one about 9 months ago from the US via Amazon. £118 all in but with no rope as I already have it
  4. They are (mostly) docile aren't they. We've had a couple of dozen in the house over the summer not surprisingly and they've been easy to catch and put back out of a window
  5. Just the one? Pah! - We have this above our bedroom window VID-20220909-WA0007.mp4

  12. You really need to get Cobham Services out of your mind Steve. It's in the past; let it go 🤣
  13. It was only taken down to about 10' because the stem bifurcated close to the ground and many years ago the bottoms of the two stems were braced with several large metal rods! Sorry
  14. I researched this fungus on behalf of my father-in-law a few years ago when it was identified on a 70' topped Black Pine. The suggested course of action was immediate removal. As stated it's a brown rotter, i.e. it degrades cellulose. In your pic the house looks a lot less than 25m away!
  15. @JoBuck He doesn't get on here too often @Rob D
  16. This could go the way of the cod fish thing given the right ammunition 😂
  17. You're kidding! Wow; never dropped below 6C here
  18. I'm fine thanks; it's the rest...
  19. Summer limb drop? I watched one drop off my own pop last year; a still sunny day and the limb just snapped and fell

    Queen

    'for the final time'... very poignant. 'The Queen at Balmoral' was an immutable annual event, something never to change 😔
  21. You mean you can't just report a nest and have the authorities destroy it? Is that typical French bureaucracy at work?!
  22. I feel a bit ill at the mere thought: I swear and jump about with a single wasp sting but multiple hornet stings... yikes
  23. Hi Steve; glad you found this. The bowls are indeed stunning
  24. But the blighters can be dealt with if you have decent hand-eye co-ordination VID-20220909-WA0005.mp4
  25. You can't fix stupid VID-20220908-WA0003.mp4
