  1. that dead tree could be a great home for al the bugs and beasties, there's nowt wrong with it:sneaky2:
  2. No Gerrit, twas time for a change, but don't worry, next time i feel like a headbanging.... it'll be back:lol:
  3. oi!!:sneaky1: I'm agency staff and I'll have you know I'm good at what I do, don't be so judgemental it's wrong!!
  4. You could use my old avatar:lol:
  5. And therein lies the problem, I have always wanted to do a database as in depth as that (there are only one or two things on your list that aren't on mine ) but does that then make it obselete for the general public? Especially if I want to take it further in depth by going into diseases and fungal relationships etc etc... Or should I keep it technical and aim it purely at the arb market? Search wise, just a free standing database with feature searches or a dichotomous key search?
  6. not getting half of a 60ft lombardy pop dropped on you at the side of the road!
  7. yup, definately poor and strangled!
  8. he'll come back to haunt you:scared1:
  9. i've got a good idea of what I would like to see too, but i would stilll mmmmmm....... lightbulb:lol:
  10. basically, how much info would be enough without making it obselete for the layman, but have enough info for an arb??
  11. so for example, leaf shape/size, winter twig and bark but a lot more in depth as for search options do you find it better searching for ident features like in the fungi directory or using a dichotomous key there are a number of website/databases/apps out there at the moment but a lot tend to be for north america, i have found a few decent UK ones but each is different by way of information that can be viewed i would like to create the ultimate database of trees for the UK and europe that would one day include the trees complete ecosystem (big task but do think its possible)
  12. i ask as my azalea last year grew some weird leaf growth but seems to have healed? they were leaves but very thick and waxy feeling and curled, didn't know what it was at the time, but seems fine now?

  14. anybody heard of or used this? whats it like? Google Goggles watch the vid and looks like they'll be able to recognise trees and plants too!
  15. If you could have access to an online tree database or phone app that enabled or assisted you in adentifying a tree, what would you want it to include? and i don't mean a database or app that identifies it for you, just one to help in the search
  16. interesting stuff, especially the withces broom which i have seen plenty of but didn't realise what caused it. on a side note are azaleas affected by taphrina species?
  17. and he tries to catch the thing!!
