    It was not foseable, why do YOU feel the council are at fault in THIS?
  3. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    This is why I never get anywhere, im too decent, would have claimed off my own insurance, whilst the council may not fell them all in case of another claim, slowly but surely as they go, they will not be replaced, its been happening for decades.

    Try a BIG fencing agricultural supply firm.

    you have been looking at law long enough to sound like a solicitor:thumbdown: you can justify anything you like mate... see you in court!

    The whole point of the NTSG (national tree safety group) work and recently published document was to ensure that unforseable stuff is just that, unforseable and not subject to liability. Its this whole lets find blame culture that results in trees being felled JUST in case, and do you honestly think in the future big trees or trees full stop will be planted again when they are felled because of complaints or worse lawsuits like this? There will be NO trees in towns, they die in 30 years due to abuse as it it, add this crap attitude and what chance have they got? NONE ZERO. when its obviously forseable, a long term flaw fault, body language and forseable then fine, they deserve to get done, but in this case? on the other hand, did they have these trees assesded annualy? nope, probably not. so i get both sides, but THIS was not forseable, no external signs or fruitbodies.

    Love em, like the clumsiest big bugs youve ever seen in flight!

    Buy a house with a tree, LIVE with it, cant see how your going to pass a 30% reduction, after all, the councils are well known for their high standards in contractor work and all those immaculate 5-10% reductions done down all of our cities streets barely look worked! Appeal. lmao

    no way felix, this tree is on its own merits, anyone suggesting that they will have a case based on others near by is nuts! I doubt that the weakened union was forseable as the rot was all internal, the only possibility is that there is a slight occlusion rib to one sidebut you would not have picked up on that in a routine inspection at all. Sorry to pee on the bonfire but forseable NO, not on your nelly. A lot of trees dropped branches this spring and summer, rapid growth early on and heavy rainfall adding weight to branches not yet adapted to their growing loadings, remotley suspect unions failing due to the extra burdens all over the place, not at all forseable.

    yes Might get confusing like that though especialy as more books get added. I will start a new thread for the general idea listing the books so they can at least find the concept/club exists then link to the book thread for the individual books that way. I think its slowed down because it gets lost:thumbup1:
  13. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    thanks for that, shall read later.
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    This sounds really bad, have you notified the FC?
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Good post sloth, awesome post in fact! just goes to show you what the power of restoration can do
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Yellow mycelial cords suggest there is no armillaria there, I would want to get that checked out properly sean, Phytopthora is not my strong point as I have only ever seen it once believe it or not
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    agreed:thumbup1:
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    honey bees are not native apparently, but bumbles are I believe protected?
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    What i want is a Claus Mattheck inspired tensile triangle optimised version! I reckon it would be strong but light and smash break tests
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    good question, I was assuming flying types as due to the guy being a welder
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    and there we are, thread just needed a bump! It would of course help if bookclub went sticky but suspect thats asking too much? Steve?
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    This is a first for me so waited to post till i read the Ryvarden on the Laetiporus. It says on conifers too, but as far as i know that was is limited thus far to Taxus, and would be very glad to hear from anyone who has similar conifer finds of laeti as this one on larix decidua the european larch. This ones pores appear larger than usual and suspect it is a sub species, there are 16 sub species of Laetiporus according to a paper using PCR amplification:001_cool:
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    why the sneaky face! thought you would be happy to keep hold!
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    No, I tried a lot, and went back everytime, have you tried it tied up rather than loose and hanging down?
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Theres too many in the market these days and ive always loved the buckingham model design and have it in two sizes
