  1. Good read but doesn't actually pinpoint where one is:001:roll_eyes: I've got that list, still trying to find a lancastrian champion:thumbup: Bit too far really but thanks Could do with it before autumn hits rob:biggrin:
  2. Ed you life saver, you working sunday aren't you? Can you bring em them (i'm working with rob too btw:thumbup:) I need a good handfull so if any get damaged through the drying and preserving process i've got backups I need a good selection of very identifiable leaves, is it in someones garden? Do you need to ask permission? Tell em i said it was ok
  3. Does anybody at all know of a location of Sorbus torminalis within the north west? A park, garden, edge of woodland? I know there isn't that many but I need a photo and a few leaves off one! So does anybody know where one is? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

  6. My local library are useless:001_rolleyes:, I've waited 6-8 weeks for books sometimes, its easier to buy:biggrin: Plus you arbtalkers are a great source of knowledge and experience just waiting to be tapped into:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  7. Just why the sudden drop in points from 8 to 5 in similar european competitions? And then the FA cup should surely be worth more the amount of teams involved. Think the system was a bais creation from a liverpool supporter I'm sure if I had the time I could easily change the points system to favour man utd:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
  8. That points system is flawed:001_rolleyes: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

  13. Haha didn't mean it in an insult way gerrit, just saying I cheated and used your book rather than guessing what it was, didn't then confirm it by using other literature or the internet:biggrin: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

  16. I bought second hand off my bro, and now use the original entry spec sony a200k entry level dslr, think its now been superseeded by the a230k but not sure, any way, I bought it for £200 second hand a year old in mint condition and bought the sigma 70-300mm lens on top of that for 130, its a great lens on a decent camera although I don't have experience of nikon or canon's I could recommend the sony for some of the photos I have got off it.

  17. I'm going to guess Creolophus cirrhatus:biggrin:
  18. I think possibly the first one Tobias is holding Tony. In the set of four:biggrin: at 4.58pm
  19. don't think a thin is the way forward in this case, and tbh i don't think thins are overly beneficial to the tree unless done properly which in most cases they are unfortunately not. There has been some good advice already posted here, regular pruning (reductions) over a 3-5 year cycle (again, done properly) will keep the tree at the size it is or a manageable size however big you want it, if you feel this isn't the way forward and in the future would like it removed plant another specimen and get that established first. But in the end, it is your choice and you don't have to heed the advice given:biggrin:

    The Moon

    aren't you only supposed to plant some plants on a full moon of the third month at exactly half past 3...? anyway, with wives tales like that there must be some truth in it somewhere the moon's gravitational pull is big enough to effect tides and our weather systems so why not, plants, trees and fungi too:biggrin:
