    Regardless of weather you have the correct certs to put out traffic managing equipment of not you are required to apply to Highway in wrighting at least 14 days prior to the date that you wish to be working on that site taking up road space . as for what you need to use to controle the traffic it may be possible if the road is verry quiet and a clear line of site from one side of the lane closeure to the other then you may well be able to use prioritty boards but to be honest i would contact highways and get some advice freom them mate . i carry out TM works for various firms and to be honest there is much much more to it then meets the eye .

    do you have any pic's ?? i would be interested to see them , i recently worked on a vetran elm that had been previously butchered by someone because it had a large pocket of decay just below the bowl of the crown , the tree had been previously reduced by a not so good 35% . we have recently mesured the sound wall thickes with a DD dril and found that the TR ratio is roughly a little lower than 11% and at the point of decay the tree appears to under massive stress from the remaining heavy leaning timber . I will get some pictures of the tree tomorrow or tuesday and post them for you too see

    last summer i was called in to take down one of the countries orrigional Pinus Radiata , the decision was made to take the tree down because of a v large limb that had failed and a QTRA assessment that was carried out by the county TO , it became apparent that the tree had been suffering form sparissis crispa for the last 17 years that he knew of (this was known by him because when he moved to the job 17 years previously as a welcome gift the staff left the FFB in his bed) the tree was a good 15 meters taller than any tree arround which made it rather vunerable to southeasterly and southwesterly gales that are rather dammaging but still it had not failed .

    nope you are most probaby correct !!
  15. combined tree services
    im pretty certain the second pic shows Polyporus Squamosus. as fpr the first pic i aint got a clue sorry

    yeah i understand that his TR ratios are for a tree with a full and un pruned crown . what got me looking at his ratio and how it coresponds with various pathogens in different ways , im not really to hot on my Fungi but am really keen to expand my knowlege much further and also my knowlege of the reactions of different species of tree have to different fungi . so far i have seen that the TR ratios do differ from tree species to tree species and also that where cavities are present that they too can make a massive difference ie: that if the cavity within a tree is larger than the stem radius then the TR ratio will be greatly reduced .

    ha ha ha ha great stuff , i nearly spat my coffe out !!!!! that reminds me i must stop drinking coffe this late at night !!!!
  18. combined tree services
    nice pictures mate , how tall was the tree and what size was the canopy spread ?? im only curious because im interested in the corolation betwene the they various types of fungal fruiting bodies and there impact on the tree and Mattheck's theory of TR=0.3 . its interesting how some FFB's affect a trees structure to the point of collapse and some FFB's that are just as agressive and do not cause the tree to fail for a much greater period of time .
  19. combined tree services
    hiya are you willing to come down to cornwall to do it ?? if not give bickton college a call

    i really dont mean to sound harsh but you are much better off buying a brand new porter wrap of something similar rather than a second hand device that could well have been abused and overloaded . secondly i think that most of us that have a small lowering device would not seel it as they are often usefull on the smaller lowering jobs i know i would not sell mine

    yes i have seen a sycamore that was crown lifted probably ten years ago and now is in need of felling due to the presence of Polyporus Squamosus.
