  1. Thats what i said:lol: So is it D. c. growing on/in another D. c.? Or the same D. c. with weird growth??
  2. Daedaleopsis confragosa on a cherry that was topped and didn't survive, there was loads of it, but whats the weird growths on the pore surface? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  3. Haha, now who's being naughty! And I wasn't knocking shigo, think the word I used was revolutionary (at the time). But alas, yes, things move on and at the moment are moving fast IMO. Each bit of progress is the next rung on the ladder:thumbup: and old hats like shigo, were an important part of the footings! (cliched or what!) Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  4. From what I've read it is becoming more and more looked at from a research point of view, it won't be long before a new model is conceived, and Shigo's, revolutionary at the time model, becomes a bookmark in the history of arboriculture. Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  5. Yep, seen it and heard it first hand too:thumbup: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  6. :lol: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  7. Me moan, never:lol: Consider me manned up! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  8. Having Duncan as my tutor, I kind of get some of this info first hand and what he is doing at Manchester uni for his PhD as well as teaching us lot is unbelievable and inspirational the amount of work he does... Hopefully a new model can be achieved one day. I have a few papers I want to write but it seems there isn't enough time to do it sometimes:001_rolleyes: As well as my ongoing restoration/retrenchment pruning research and my tree ident database and trying to study for my FdSc and working full time and making sure I spend quality time with my kids, i'll fit this one in somewhere, good job I only need 4 hours sleep a night:lol: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  9. The more and more I read, the more I'm convinced. As sloth rightly puts it, simply, trees cope with the injury as soon as it happens, not when its decayed! Would this ever become recognised, or is Shigo's acronym too "worldwidely known" to change? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  10. Fox's crunch! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  11. After reading a few articles on the CODIT model and the actual process of compartmentalisation, and reading a few opinions of other authors, should we be re-naming the acronym to Compartmentalisation of Dysfunction in Trees as this more precisely describes and illustrates the role of this process... Thoughts and opinions?
  12. Yes an S211 notification, i think
  13. Hope he recovers soon, i knew a young bloke a few years ago, who went into hospital with Colitus and it turned out to be Crohn's. My thoughts are with him and his family
  14. Hows the job at scarisbrick going, client decided what they want doing yet?

  15. Do SIP or engelbert strauss do hi viz? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  16. I make the best effort ALL the time, not just when it suits! The only thing that bugs me from your posts is that you pigeon hole everybody into being incapable just because we don't do it like you:001_rolleyes: Your attitude stinks and until you change it not many people will listen! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  17. I'm sure there was also a thread on here somewhere on another death in america when a guys rope (that was for some reason round his neck) got trapped in the chipper and popped his head off! Also a few weeks ago a fellow colleague nearly put my rope into the chipper whilst I was still up the tree, it got to the rollers but not the blades sure to another eagle eyed colleague, I was not best pleased:sneaky2: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  18. Nice jobs... Proper:thumbup: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  19. Robin:blush: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

  21. I can get to the tips with my rope and harness thank you very much:biggrin: I hate it when people presume its only possible to get to the tips from a mewp! Ps, STUUUUUBBSSSSS! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
