What are most people planting as Street Trees??
janey replied to stevelucocq's topic in Tree health care
Gleditsias It's easier to say what I'm steering clear of, rather that what I am planting, as I try to assess each location individually. Generally, no more limes (people have to wash their cars, poor lambs...), very few Sorbus', other than "Browers" and "Cardinal Royal" which seem to be pretty bomb proof, and I'm steering clear of most of the apples because of scab, basal cankering and, good grief!, they drop fruit. Though "Street Parade" is looking ok. Strangely enough, I'm not planting any more Raywood ashes either -
Only just seen this in Hort' Week, but it would be a great place to start an arby career Junior Arborist / Horticulturist job - Ampfield, Hampshire - Horticulture Jobs

:001_tongue: Deja vous! Lose the bald patch and it could be me

Over the past few years, street Rowans are failing badly. They seem to be sucumbing to a combination of heat / drought stress and basal cankering. Most of the aucuparia (Rowan) type species and cultivars I regulary see are suffering, especially S cashmiriana and S hupenhensis, while S "Cardinal Royal" and S "Street Wise" seem to be effected less. I've stopped planting aucuparia types as a result and tend to stick with S "Browers" which still seems to be doing well. A lot of the aria (Whitebeam) types are failing as well, again with basal cankering but with sections of the crown dying in succession rather than in one go. Other than good young tree husbandry and choosing more robust spp's and cv's, I don't think much can be done about this. Tis sad

Yep, the good Borough of quirkness. The 'cerasiferas around my way don't seem to have read Lonsdale and sprout Laetiporous at all times of the year.
-
Gorgeous scenery. You have just added more incentive for my plans to get my lazy posterior oop norf and see some more of the beautiful UK first hand (a weekend in Edinbro' doesn't really count!).
-
This really caught my attention as it contrasts beutifully with the foliage of the P cerasifera "Nigra". Tho I wouldn't necessarily choose it as a colour scheme for my kitchen...
-
... Strong feeling of de ja vous when reading that! Why don't other people get all excited about spotting a really good beech reduction ???
-
Nothing personal, but wouldn't trust you poking around my root canals!!! Why do you never have a song that you actually quite like stuck in a permanent loop in your head?

... Preferably of the varifocal type, that prevent me from looking for dead trees and at completed work! I have always been the anorak who wanders about staring upwards, but since i have started working for the LA where i live, i have become terrible for it. There has been more than a few occasions where i have been on the bike, not looking at that van in front that's suddenly stopped i'm coz craning my head to get a look at ongoing tree works / dead trees / that public enquiry that came in last night... Try explaining that to my insurance company And now i'm finding i am spotting all the past trees that i worked on when i was young and naive and didn't know any better . AND getting home is taking sooo much longer as i just detour for one more wafer thin inspection. ARRGGGHHHHHHH!!!! Blinkers. Please. And soon.

Wow. Where did you find it - anywhere near a GM research lab?
-
It wasn't until you came into shot that I realised just how big that fell was. Bet you had one helloffan adrenelin rush from it
-
:001_smile: I know what you mean - I'm going to hurt myself one day by looking at the comeptancy of a crown reduction or how well the saplings are establishing when I'm on the mokerbike. Now that I work in the same Borough that I live, I'm even worse for it
-
Oh... THAT lying down game. It wasn't what sprung to my mind when I read the title
-
You probably get passed around so much coz all the TO's are tied up with rescuing the world from leaves in gutters
-
Ok, I can understand that the average bod doesn't know, or frankly care about things like target pruning or CODIT, but surely if they had a job like that done on their tree they would at least think, eff me, that's UGLY .

Is this of any use to those out there with too much sense and too little cartilage to climb trees all day? My client urgently requires a tree surveyor. The role is based in the West Midlands and the contract is ongoing. If you are interested in this role or know of anyone looking please contact me on 0121 6858713.

You get exotica, we get OPM and mental residents.... Hmmm, is it just me or does there seem to be something a tad unequal in that arrangement?
-
I was unlucky enough to be shackled to the office PC yesteday going through our enquiries (I'm LA...). I am resigned to the fact that we tend to get dumped with the world's general moans, but this was a good 'un. Resident had seen a snake on their driveway. It was grey. ??? Can someone please give me an insight as to why the eff that comes under the heading of TREES?

Link to video: Andrew Cowan explains thermal imaging to the BBC
janey replied to Marcus B-T's topic in Tree health care
We've got the man himselff coming to have a look at a couple of our trees next week. All very interesting stuff, but I'm not sure how much of a future thermal imaging of trees has got because, to me, it seems overly dependant on user interpretation. -
Loads of 'em. Complete Tree Care is probably the best known and so you won't get a particularly good deal working for them. I'm with Eden Brown at the Moment and I have had work through Hays Montrose in the past. All worth checking out

Hands and knees? In a tree pit?? In London??? I think swine 'flu would be the least of my worries if I started doing that . No, they are not great pics, but such are the joys of camera 'phones. And some of us don't have proper jobs and don't have time to dawdle . LoL. I attacked the brackets - for want of a better word - with a combi and they black all the way through and friable. That's still not a lot of help, is it?
-
The first three piccies are of what I think may be Ustlina (no new fangled names here!) on an Ulmus lobellii. I have never - knowingly - come across this in the field before and I have only ever seen it from photos. The black, crumbly mass that I found doesn't really match anything I have seen before, so Ustilina is my best guess. Enlightenment, please? And no, definately ISN'T dog poo . And the fourth piccy? Haven't the foggiest . It's on a hybrid black poplar and wasn't there last week!
-
Sunday. Day of rest and all that. So I have been ferretting about in the undergrowth to answer my curiosity. And trying not to get arrested for carrying an offensive veggie parer. And I'm still not sure which it is. Help!!!

I saw this and thought a couple of the ad's might be of interest to peoples here: Classified Adverts
