it is fairly true too, but its as much about what the collages tell them they will have the potential to earn, setting them up for disappointment. I will look after anyone, its in my nature, bend over backwards were all a good bunch, light hearted banter and never take ourselves too seriously. You could take as much or as little away with you as you wanted to, treat it as just a job, or get involved and ask all the questions that you ever wanted answers to and get shown everything in arb you ever wanted to see. I am stunned theres no serious interest:001_huh: -
yes, the site rivalled Kew in its day:001_cool:

mmm, i thought it a type of cultivar ornamental mulberry, so hackberry maybe near the mark, no fruits though and this site is holding some VERY rare trees, so rare that I have been nable to track down a like for like replacement of a variegated pergoda i condemnned a while back! DOH:thumbdown:

i live 20 minutes from kew with a cheap room for rent, what you waiting for, and you know its not what you know but who you know:001_rolleyes:

On a serious note, anyone taking this role could learn more about arboriculture decay and ecology in one year than they could in years of hard labour alone. I give my all to those who want it:thumbup1: ask me to open a doorway, and I will

Allowing oneself to believe in the hype could lead to all kinds of bother, and can only dissapoint others! much better to play it down!

Thought i would do a spot of tree recording for the Ancient tree hunt ( The Woodland Trust | Take part in the Ancient Tree Hunt with the Woodland Trust )tonight on my way home logged four 5metre plus Oaks one of those hosting Podacypha multizonatta a U.K and European BAP priority species. On my way to one of the trees, the largest @5.80 metres circumfernce or 185cm DBH I got a shot of a nice ganoderma resinaceum on Hornbeam on the Historic Haberdashers aske boys school grounds. and a little Inonotus dryadeus and a nice Agaricus augustus aka the prince:thumbup: few other bits and bobs and a few teasers for rob to identify later on! this one will vex him so! i can almost sense him sweating! So Mr Grimes, Love child of mr Lofthouse, what do you make of the tree photos at the end here!

tree age survey - methodology?
Tony Croft aka hamadryad replied to woodsworks's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
woodland is always changing, what mix of species do you have? -
Right then! My guesses Its been a long wet summer, good season for the old snails and slugs! They climb trees to eat the algea on the bark, if the weather turns dry they find a stone or other smooth surface and suck down and seal their shells shut to conserve moisture, if no rain comes they dessicate and die in that state

if its a young tree and you have others I think I might be inclined also to fell it for a bit of firewood and kee the contamination risk low.

Managing Trees with Decay & Dysfunction
Tony Croft aka hamadryad replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
Interesting, certainly shows the root channels nicely. a few questions that spring to mind, purely out of curiosity So did you try to work out the area of the shear root ball and check for the presence of roots out to the area? what about the depth, and the areas suggested in the force cone model (mattheck) zones for presence of roots? is there going to be any re modelling of the crown? -
and they will be fine trees that grow well:thumbup1:

To Mulch, or not to Mulch?

Unusual in a garden setting IME, on a young tree suspect its far worse than on an older tree with more surface area.
