And there was me thinking you are are caring, sharing new age kinda bloke Yeah, I noticed the 'dust and the limb on the deck before the the surveyors crick neck set in.

Quicker than me these days

I've spent a few hours over the last couple of days surveying for OPM in Richmond Park. NO NESTS in the areas I was looking at Yippee. I couldn't help but get distracted by these lovelies though: Those male demoiselles are proper little fighters!

Big CONGRATS to ya Must get 'round to doing mine at some point . Not having a car lisense really holds you back in this industry.

Bit tedious if he has to do that EVERY time he pops out for a pint of milk

I would be very dubious about ever putting a sign on a tree saying it is safe, as it is simply something that you cannot 100% guarantee. I theory, what this LA has done is commendable as over sanitation has removed so much valuable habitat. However, I think the execution leaves much to be desired.

That would be very interesting to find out. It would have been something important and glomorous, of course

Email away - it's like banging your head against the proverbial BS 5837, NJUG 10, even parts of Chapter 8 will all be issued to and then promptly ignored by the majority of LA Highways subbies, if my depressing experience is anything to go by.

Trees, countryside and ponies... You must have been a very good girl in a former life

Morus nigra - Black Mulberry - ticks your boxes and will turn your decking a gorgeous shade of purple with quished fruit . Morus alba - White Mulberry - is nice as well, but slightly bigger. Cydonia oblonga - Quince- and Mespilus germanica - Medlar - are pretty lil' fruit trees that are fairly undemanding but might struggle to meet your 6m. or so height requirement. Broussonetia papyrifera - Paper Mulberry - and Acer griseum - flakey barked maple thingy - don't fruit as such but are still darn good garden trees. Or how about a gnarly old Ficus - fig? Very Mediteranean .

It's a walnut. Your book's got to wrong J. regia is the only spp of walnut with entire leaves.

BUMP Did I mention that I'm really good, well experience and cheap?

I attended the TMA course last year (I have the cert' to prove it! ) and I have also been to a couple of the LTOA discussions. It's a good course and an interesting tree management tool to be aware of. After all, how can you manage a set of assets if you don't have a comparable value for it in the first place? It is designed to work alongside the Joint Mitigation Protocol (JMP, naturally) when dealing with tree related subsidence claims in an effort to speed up and therefore reduce costs involve in the process. Dunno if that is something that you deal with. It is also an excellent tool when negotiating with Planners and also trying to claim compensation for tree damage, as talking in terms of money is a language everyone understands, rather than the more vague "amenity value" etc. (and TMA puts on a damn fine lunch spread ).

Back section of any of the Hillier tree manuals have tree lists ad infinitum What's the soil type / aspect / tree feature requirements (eg - bark interest, autumn colour etc...) / eventual height and spread limit? Tree species specification is a bit of an anorak hobby of mine...
-
Ditto what everyone else says - Cockspur Thorn. It's quite common around my way as a small street tree. Try this site for a reasonable online tree ident' resource, but only if you have an idea of what you're looking at in the first place!: Rogers Trees and Shrubs | Trees and Shrubs Pictures and Reference covering both hardy and tender trees and shrubs

A 5 day DDD is a curtesy to your local LA if the tree is in a Con' Area or TPO'd. As far as I am aware, there is no legal requirement for you to do this. HOWEVER, the onus will be on you to prove that it was a geniune DDD case if there are any queries, so make sure you take loads of piccies.

Nah - I'm quite hapy being mad old spinster woman! Now, if they were toads they might be worth a lick

Lots and lots of them . It's been a really good year for the frogs in my garden this year. We usually get loads of spawn, too much in fact, which tends to mean that there isn't enough food resources to get a decent amount of froglets. This year, however, there was only a small amount of spawn, with the result that there are hundreds of these little cuties all over the garden at the moment. I just wish the toads and newts that used to be so prolific could do the same.

Fab amount raised . It think it was a set up that I won the wine though - your cunning ploy to make sure the non drinker amongst us re donated it! -
Can't think of a better colour for a roughty toughty arb' crew to have all their kit sprayed in The first piccy reminds me of a friend's false leg we somehow aquired and had hanging out the window for a bit!

Found this doc, so thought I would share!
janey replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
You mean you've only just got 'round to reading that??? Oh, shame on you . Think I'll stick to my Mills n' Boon. -
Awesome . And what a perfect day for it. Love the sunset photos - they capture perfectly the beauty of an English summer eve'.

Far, far too much faffing.
