  1. i can't afford virgin media super ripper fast:lol: don't use it enough or watch enogh tv to warrant it:biggrin:
  2. Years of practice:lol: No only kidding, its a case of learning the shape of the leaf (scientifically) which helps for example in this case the leaf is definitely heart-shaped or "cordate", the stalked buds also helped:thumbup: but also lots and lots of reading I have many many ID books, at the last count it was 13, i have ordered a new one and got my eye on a few others. I do like the owen johnson one and also one to recommend would be Alan mitchells field guide of 1974, if you've not got it you'd have to but it second hand easily findable online.
  3. good point:blush:
  4. At the end of the day (i hate that saying) we all have our opinions, and quite rightly so... Now, you can't please everybody, and never will, joe will always be unhappy because bills got a better pension and bill's not happy coz bob has retired earlier The simple matter is, the world is riddled with a parasitic species who will never be happy:biggrin: Ps i'm an agency worker for a LA and get paid more than the actual full timers.... and we all get paid less than a lot of arborists... work that one out???
  5. Nice jopb and well thought out approach:thumbup:
  6. back on...... for the minute!
  7. I'm pretty sure its Alnus cordata due to the cordate shape of the leaf and as jwade says the pollarding would give the large leaves effect (they can be big anyway) Defo not a Eucalyptus though:lol:

  9. Don't think it is davidia, winter buds on them are crimson with a good robust point, these in the pic seem to be green and stalked Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  10. Right, best guess at the moment (the stalked buds being key in this pic) would be Alnus cordata, and i have seen Italian Alder leaves that big before now Will carry on looking though:biggrin:
