use it on my sidestrop with a 10mm cord i forget the name of, can get quite tight in the wet but all in all a nice easy hitch to tie and compact when the legs are short
-
haha no worries, been out on the hunt today and talking pics myself, i think i kinda get it now (was the rough bark that was puzzling) but after today things are clearer, will post some pics up later to give my thoughts on the matter too:thumbup:
-
so.... increment strips?
-
i'd take the whole thing down as asked and replant a small specimen keeping most/all the logs as a habitat pile rather than a monolith as it seems to be a small garden overlooked by many
-
nice semi lunge:thumbup:
-
like the stumpgrinder compartment, very tidy

http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/29270-tree-identification-database.html still building the database but collecting pics in the background, as to avoid copyrights etc i hope to take most of the pics myself or from help of others with permissions and recognition tis going to be a big job and will be a while before its ready but once it is it WILL be the definitive online resource/phone app for tree identification anyway, don't want to derail your thread too much so carry on the tree id etc in this thread so, back to hispidus:biggrin:
-
nice van, but where does all the chip go:lol:
-
oh yes, they'll ALL be going in and the golden rain tree is a fine example of a tree only ever seen a tiddler in a nursery a good while ago now do you know the whereabouts of a biggy?
-
don't you worry, this year is the "tour year" after june i'm pretty much free most weekends and evenings and will be making the effort to go all over the country it will also help in collecting data and images for my database:thumbup:
-
there in my strauss catalogue and i think they are online too

although surely there must be a time when limb failure is immenent and if no-one is watching.......
-
haha good point, didn't think about that:blush:
-
why do you always post at the same time as me haha!!
-
well those trees still exist and as far as i'm aware even after telling both my ex boss and the very ridiculously orientated H&S company (Unilever) nothing is being done about it?
-
i thought you were? can the carter's hitch/trucker's hitch be in there? i always forget how to tie that one:blushing:
-
ps loving the VTA field guide book, a lot of new things have clicked in my head and i now understand a few more things i love learning:lol:
-
i only ask coz a work colleague had a bit of kickback the other day and caught the back of his pants in the calf area, saw was on the wind down and the pants did the job as they were C's but if they had of been A's, well... a nasty cut me thinks?
-
ehem:blush:
-
i get how you can see increment strips in the bark of smooth barked trees, but what about the rough barked species? am i being thik:lol: are the gulleys in the rough bark increment strips or have i got my wires crossed?
-
what is the legal stance on climbing with a chainsaw with type 'A's?
-
sorry hama think i put my point across wrong:blush: i had this vision of an ash with hispidus in a nursery/kindergarten play area leaning over a fence towards a busy main road (these trees exist i have pics somewhere) the point then being about high risk in heavy branch failure vs whole tree failure, but in this situation does the position of the tree (tis about 45') mean that it becomes a high risk? i think "risk" as a word differs from situation to situation and cannot just be classified as high, low, moderate etc i do agree with you on the natural pollarding being "less" of a risk than tree failure but at what point does this branch failure become to "high" of a risk to save the tree? does that kinda make sense:confused1:
-
mother earth does it again:biggrin:
-
is that pic from recent? has it leafed up at all?
-
unfortunately doesn't it always depend on targets? and thats where the risk is assessed?
