    What I must also say is trees can vary within species due to climatic conditions and I'm not 100% correct but 90% sure:biggrin: Its only possible to make an educated guess from a few pictures Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    I find Alan Mitchells Books very good especially the 1974 trees of britain and europe edition, i also have Owen Johnsons Tree Guide published by collins(2004) i also have a great big book of leaves, horticulture encyclopedia's and a few othe collins and oxford Tree ID books, I am also doing my dendrology module at Uni so everything is fresh in the memory The difference here between the two (green/red and white ash)(Green ash/red ash is the same tree different continent common name) or "splitters" is the colour of the shoot, the bud and the winged/unwinged leaflet stalks thats how i came up with F. pennsylvanica:thumbup:

    yup, even though i feel my niche is taxonomy/dendrology i do like a good fung:thumbup: plus i need to know them and the association with different tree species within their TSSE (copyright) for my Tree ID Database:cool: And you'll be showing me round ashridge next year:biggrin:
  4. RobArb

    I heard about a so called expert going in a foray with a fe friends and tasting some mushrooms, I'm sure it was false chanterelles they ate, one died and one feel into a coma! Can't remember when and where I heard the story though? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    David, as part of my leaf collection I have been noticing acorn fruit on a variety of oaks 'oop ere' and have noticed quite a few Q. patreae's with large stalks and healthy larger looking acorns, whereas we're having woodsy I would say is a normal year for the Q. roburs Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    So then, I'm going to throw the cart amongst the portions now... AOD, an actual condition... Or, something that already existed in another form that we've redefined, e.g. armillaria colonisation/cankers/environmental conditions.. A clear definition would be nice Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    Only just seen this, I knew that was a shear bomb:thumbup: I could've even told you it was healing, as I've been caught out before on that one! Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    I've done a few big planes this year and a few small ones:thumbdown: What i can say is at the start of summer (June/July) the small plane i pruned was horrendous!! and the big one not so bad. One of my colleagues who smokes 20-40 a day, had no problems and found it quite amusing that we were all choking our guts up!? I pruned two Big ones last week, one on a wet day and one on a dry and i had no problems what so ever, and i normally have a bad reaction to them, so i think the worst is over:001_cool:
  21. RobArb
    Why is it not a Rowan? And yes Hama, Sorbus aucuparia IS Rowan:lol:
  22. RobArb
    yes i'm the culprit, and still looking/researching it too:thumbup: but thats never a stapled shoot is it??

    Mission success, not quite in the walled garden as that was closed sure to excessive rain (health and safety, dont get me started), but it was near enough there. So, I now have some S. torminalis leaves for my collection:thumbup: Thanks everyone And Ed, still being the ones you've got tomorrow, if they're ok:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    I have the monthly disposables and I couldn't recommend them more! I've worn lenses and glasses for nearly 20 years now and have never had any problems... I did have an ulcer on my eye which spored me wearing contacts for 6 months but it want because of the contacts our anything tree related and it was some time ago Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
