  1. Well I never, tree of heaven with fruit on, will have to check that one out! Nice find, that totally threw me, I disregarded A. altissima BECAUSE of that fruit:lol: In fact have you got any more pictures, leaf scars on the twigs, buds, a picture of the spay of the leaf, because I know the fruit of A. altissima and it doesn't lok like that?

  3. Mmmmmm? is it an exotic??
  4. guilty as charged:blush: (for most of the above)
  5. AND the one i spotted! And i'm no expert:lol:

  7. Sunbathing at this time of year? How very dare he!!
  8. Surely thats Juglans nigra isn't it? Instinct says so anyway:001_smile:
  9. Cheeky Monkey Al:sneaky2: Its an Antenna Tree!!
  10. Is that a poor looking Pseudotsuga menziesii or Abies alba?? Could be anything of that form though:lol:

  13. and the pics are where rob...?
  14. where was it mike?
  15. 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:
  16. The white stuff i think is powdery mildew but what is the balck markings and the purpl/darkred/black dots?
  17. Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum - Blog is it here?
  18. 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:
  19. about 29-33mins in i think it was
  20. ......
  21. yep, did you see how soft the wood was inside? (even though it did have a nice ring of healthy growth around the outside)
  22. love the first one with the noise in the pic:thumbup:
  23. it wasn't flu then:001_smile:
  24. your right, i've never seen it that big, but i know a few people who have Can't believe it was that easy, can i kick you now:lol:
  25. 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:
