I'll have a check tonight properly when i'm in but i'm pretty sure it is And Hama, I knew you knew:001_tt2:

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:
-
Why is it not a Rowan? And yes Hama, Sorbus aucuparia IS Rowan:lol:
-
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

Wild pear not common pear:thumbup:

haha, no worries ed, bring them anyway on sunday you could even put them in a vase like a bunch of flowers, that might work?? or pretend you need to freeclimb on saturday aswell, you could use the excuse about researching health and safety in regards to lid/no lid:biggrin: Going to try haigh hall on saturday also, as a back up:thumbup:
-
One more! Anyone know the location of a P. pyraster, and i mean a real one not a P. communis? Again in the north west, but may have to travel for this one Ta:thumbup:
-
haha, i'll leave it for now then:lol: I rather like my skin on!
-
done that:thumbup: I now have dark thumbs??
-
How on earth do you get it off your hands? When i wash my hands (its on both thumbs and index finger) it goes darker, even tried the good stuff that normally gets oil, grease and the like off:cursing:??

Strange looking Copper Beech
RobArb replied to Matthew Arnold's topic in Tree Identification pictures
The cultivar is probably a chimaera then, meaning it can grow "normal" leaves from the trunk and branches or reverting itself back to the dominant species, usually not all of the tree though as sounds in your case usually happens when damaged in some way (even slight damage or stress) -
Strange looking Copper Beech
RobArb replied to Matthew Arnold's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Scrap that, its Fagus sylvatica 'Rohanii' 100% -
Strange looking Copper Beech
RobArb replied to Matthew Arnold's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Its a cultivar of F. sylvatica possibly 'Grandidentata' or 'Rohan Gold' It could also be F. sylvatica 'Asplenifoilia' (cut-leaved/fern-leaved beech) but the first two seem more likely by leaf form -
I need em green really, so unless there pressed, they'll senesce won't they?
-
Well its the hardest one to get IMO, from my location, but if Ed comes through, i'm in business
-
