what? i was jokin i didnt know he was actually called vinnie jones. ssh he might be listening. you must have a different set of tutors to us.
-
no worries. all i can suggest is just read and then read some more and pick peoples brains as best you can. youve got to put a lot in to get a lot out of it. vinnie jones? nah its not him. dont know who that is.
-
youll find you get that a lot. specially if you go on to do an HE course. you get given a brief and sent on yer way. you could focus on woodland management for that one, theres heaps of books about it in the library (look for Oliver Rackhams trees and woodland in the british landscape). look at FC websites etc for grant schemes. or if its just general tree surgery theres a whole section dedicated to it in the library. get some ideas together and go and discuss them with your tutor. i think i know who youre on about and he will help you. its what hes there for. you'll be reet mate. good luck with it.

you on the ND or an HE course tom?

fair enough if you just wanna be a tree surgeon. im doing an FdSc and theres people on the course who have been doing tree work for years and are after getting into consultancy, inspections, TO, research etc. its a better thing to have on your CV than saying you read a load of books in your spare time. the course is intense and requires a lot of commitment and hard work.

it depends on the age and condition of the tree. pears are vulnerable to disease of pruned to heavily so take it easy, maybe spread it over three years. you want almost horizontal, lateral branches in a kinda christmas tree structure i.e long at the bottom, shorter towards the top with one main leader. nice spaces in between laterals should help air and light penetration. upright branches are not much use for fruit production so should be taken back and remove older fuit bearing spurs to encourage new ones to be more vigorous and produce bigger fruit. obviously remove dead, dying, rubbing brances and suckers at the base. pruning at the end of summer (i.e now) is ok as it prevents too vigorous re-growth, depending on the vigour of your tree, but id do it in the dormant season, towards the end of winter. think thats right anyway, it works for my trees and my pears are the envy of the neighbourhood. RHS website should have some tips Rob

i think the loop is to allow the stem to grow in girth without being strangled. i.e as it thickens the loop is taken up. also means that in the future it can be visually checked from the ground. if the loop has gone then theres no more leway for the stem to thicken and the system needs to be re-installed/adjusted.

i hope youve got your NPTC CS 60 fire felling ticket.

cheers for that ed. ill give them a try

thanks. to be honest i recon if i said id work 7 days a week, permenantly, for free, id be lucky to get a job round here at the moment. id be more than happy to do a couple of free days to prove my worth. ive tried utility firms but no joy yet. what i have is aptitude and enthusiasm, what i dont have is a name for myself or years of experience, which it seems is what you need to get work. very frustrating.

hiya all i am currently after work around lancs, manchester, west yorkshire, cheshire areas. i have about 18 months ground and aerial experience (including 7 months overseas) plus one year at college. i am 27, reliable, responsible and although still learning im a fit and fairly competent climber. i have a drivers license (post 97 unfortunately), car, protective gear, climbing kit and hopefully my own saw soon. tickets wise i have the essential 4 CS units plus pesticide applications 1 and 6. id be very greatful for the opportunity to get back into work so if anyone is looking to take on or just needs a lift for the odd job here and there then get in touch id be willing to work a couple of days free trial if necessary. pm me or ring 07799356752. cheers
