I've met him twice, Tom.I always thought he looked a bit like the lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers but I know what you mean.

PMSL

I bet he looked like Louie Spence in ballistics, mate.

Crown seems quite vigorous. No sign of Armillaria bootlaces at all.

Anything by Einhell. Now get back out in the rain, you won't melt.

I got as far as threatening it with a large car hire firm who folded when I said how much I was looking forward to getting them a CCJ and charging them extra for the pleasure.

If they own a business, just pop round when there are plenty of customers in.

What's wrong with this Ash?
felixthelogchopper replied to felixthelogchopper's topic in Tree health care
It's in a bit of overgrown woodland on one of the estates owned by the company I work for. We are opening it up a bit for the owner's family and looking at putting in some bat and owl boxes to complement the badger setts. I'm so glad it's not Chalara as this patch is approx 50% Ash. -
And rightly so, they're killers you know! And worth thousands too!!!

Phew, I had read something about that but didn't know what it looked like. Thanks for the info. -
I hope it's not the dreaded Chalara. Tree has been previously coppiced to give rise to 3 stems, 2 of which are very dead while the remaining one still has decent leaf on it. Lesions don't look right for it (I think) and only half the tree is dead.

It amuses me no end to hear my nephews talking. My brother grew up on the Thames estuary like me, whereas his sons grew up nr Chesterfield.

The epicormic could predate the bark damage, I suppose?
-
Are you 'aving a bubble, china?
-
Difficult to tell because I'm not keen to start pulling the bark off. There is some epicormic though.
-
Exactly, so it's not spelt wrongly as it is a phonetic spelling of a word you probably won't find in a dictionary.
-
Tbh, I thought 'cizzer' was dialect rather than mis-spelling.
-
The bark is completely hanging off this one and it doesn't look to be doing too bad.
-
I was expecting a picture of your wallet, Dean.
-
No worries.
-
Good spot. Yes, white mycelium approximately 1" by 3" in area.

I was strimming around some trees and was rather concerned by the state of the bark on this willow. The tree looks fine until you get underneath the canopy and see that the bark has lifted off the trunk. This is in evidence in varying degrees right up the trunk. The bark is rigid and non-pliable, although it does not seem overly brittle. The wood underneath seems dry and has some black staining but I can't see any rhizomorphs or fruiting bodies. The tree in question stands nearly on top of a land drain which handles water from roadside ditches outside the estate and is suspected of blocking the drain with its roots. Any advice/information gratefully received.

In that case, it was ok. Don't do it anymore as your English is too good now, Dan.

I wish. Already had a couple of Doombars with dinner. That's plenty for a school night.

It beats having them steal it instead.
