  8. I'm going next year when the leaves are back out, i'm too busy with assignments to make it down for the autumn colour and i've got a few arboretums oop ere first to visit I want to work in an arboretum or herbarium but jobs are few and far between, so visiting is the next best thing, plust it helps get my database finished visiting all those lovely specimens:thumbup:
  9. The white stuff i think is powdery mildew but what is the balck markings and the purpl/darkred/black dots?
  10. Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum - Blog is it here?
  11. not had much dealings with picus (or other technical stuff) as yet, that will be in a uni module in the not too distant future:thumbup: but... From looking at that tree (i only caught the felling) and their reasons for felling, i'm interested to know if there are any decayed trees that are "managed" in arboretums, especially westonbirt, or if its a case of fell if even slighty rotten. I don't profess to knowing the in's and out's of peoples thoughts on the matter and the accuracy of the PICUS but it always seems to come across different on TV due to non-professionals editing footage to make better TV:001_smile:
  12. about 29-33mins in i think it was

  18. Nice idea, this type of thing was also discussed at the AA Northern AGM i went to the other week. Personally the sat/sun combo would be better but thats just me and i would also like to delve more into the research side of things which you don't normally ever see at normal ARB shows! Things like what we get to learn about attending paid for AA seminars, but for everybody:thumbup: I also like the rigging and climbing demonstrations and feel there should be a "have a go area" or bring your own stuff and try out type climbing area and maybe a little friendly competition:lol: If it goes ahead, count me in:biggrin:
  19. Thanks:thumbup:, Think she'll keep going to:001_smile: Anyway, that bark, is it evergreen angiosperm or evergreen gymnosperm as i have absolutely no clue what-so-ever:blush:
  20. Janey posted a few breweriana pics earlier, did you see? Off out now for a tea with me fam, for me nan's 90th now, will have a think whilst I'm out about the bark Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  21. Ok, I don't think its P. breweriana but could it beP. spinulosa Don't really know any other weeping like spruces? As far as the evergreen bark, let me have a think, mmmmm? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  22. you in your last year then? I have that to come and already know what i'm doing (tis already started)!
  23. the first one, the bark, i'm going to guess a young Acer campestre but that is a guess, the second lot i think are Picea sp., possibly P. omorika or P. smithiana
