I've not come across this one that all much, Oak Artichoke Gall Andricus fecundator on Quercus robur. I wonder how it got it's common name...

I've just bought a really cheap (less than £18!) waterproof and breathable jacket from Trespass UK | Outdoor Clothing, Fleece, Ski Wear & walking Boots. Despite the price, it's about the best waterproof I've owned, including my expensive wet weather biking gear. It has been well tested recently as well . I'm not sure how the fit and manouverability will suit climbing and general arb' work, but it's worth having a look at the 'site. I'm not sure if there's any hiviz in theur range. How about a nice pastel shade instead?

They sound like young yaffles (Green woodpeckers). They're a kind of speckled brown when they fledge. I saw some myself last week and had to take a closer look to see what they were

Sorry, missus, your tree's got Armillaria. Worse than honey fungus, that.
-
Do you use this ploy in combination with a sharp intake of breath and a few tuts as well?
-
I thought you'd be the man to enlighten me some more on the subject
-
Is Snow White involved in that somewhere???
-
It's no mere portrayal It's no different from saying generically "chainsaw" to a member of the public, as compared to talking about the make and model on here with other professionals, is it?
-
Is there anything at all related on the Bartlett's 'site?
-
You made me think of this Science Photo Library, the most well known and comercially important moth / fungal relationship?
-
It's wierd you say that. I much prefer using the Latin name wherever possible and find it much more "natural" than using the common name. My friends and colleagues in the arb' world seem to be of the same mind on this and we rarely use anything but Latin names. I like using big words n' all; not because I'm hugely intelligent (which, of course, I am ), but because I like precise language and I can convey a slightly different nuance to my meaning by using more defined terminology. Does that make me a geek ?

Sycamore trees. Plane trees. I think they are about the best examples of why one universal language is used for precise plant taxonomy. For anyone interested in the work that they do, the relationship between species, as shown by their genus, family and so on, can give a good indication to their characteristics if you are not overly familiar with that particular one.

Bugs, bees and beasties- Bio-diversity matters
janey replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Ecology
Thank you I'm one of those types that find myself on here so often now, that I very rarely look through the forums and just look at today's posts . So a closed thread would be ingnored by my lazy self. -

Don't close the other one!!! Apexarb has posted a Red Data find on there Can't you just use your magic admin powers the merge them? -
Has your three year old nephew got hold of your phone again, Rob?
-
That's a very nice find . It's a male Scarce Chaser and it's a red data list species. Where did you find it?
-
Now that's just plain wierd.
-
If you wear you work gear, you'll be dead easy to spot. I doubt there'll be many others there doing a 007 impression. I may be wrong...

Oak Processionary Moth inspector by day, occasional bar wench by night. Not quite as glamourus as you in your tux'. It's my day job that's the more unusual one out of the two

Alien Spawn - or something for the Missus?
janey replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
How is water moved so quickly into the FB to enable such rapid expansion? Sorry if that's a basic question -
Welcome to the 'site, AshvilleArborists. And welcome - in advance - to old London town. October isn't the best time of year to go tree hunting here as it's quite likely to be grey, cold and damp. A bit like the other 11 months of the year! LoL. If you get the opportunity, you should really try ang get to Kew Gardens Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - Home Page. That has the advantage that if the weather's crap, you can hide in the glass houses. Very close to Kew is Syon Park Syon Park: The London home of the Duke of Northumberland. Although quite small, the gardens are beautiful and have some large and unusual tree species. A bit further south of Tonbridge is Bedgebury Pinetum Bedgebury National Pinetum and forest is the premier outdoor site in the Southeast of England.. The kids (if you're dragging any around with you) will love the "Go Ape" climbing there.

I'm really sorry D, but owing to my lack of a driving licence, clean or otherwise, I won't be able to apply to be one of you minions.
-
How about edelwiest? It's not a plant I'm particularly familiar with. My best guess would be Marsh cudweed (Gnaphalium uliginosum).

LoL The waxing was a nitemare...

You'd better have had a hose down after a week of camping before I see you on Sat'
