    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:
  7. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    thanks for that, shall read later.

    This sounds really bad, have you notified the FC?
  9. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Good post sloth, awesome post in fact! just goes to show you what the power of restoration can do

    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
  11. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    agreed:thumbup1:
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    honey bees are not native apparently, but bumbles are I believe protected?
  13. 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
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    good question, I was assuming flying types as due to the guy being a welder
  15. 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?

    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:
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    why the sneaky face! thought you would be happy to keep hold!
  18. 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?
  19. 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
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Indeed as have I, in fact here two side by side, and only serves to prove of the detrimental effects of urbanisation on tree stocks, urea, and other polution,damage etc
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Xylaria polymorpha you nutter!
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    fair enough, no need though sean, got two copies myself, one signed! keep it till its wanted.
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    There is a thing called bookclub on here you might want to check out, but they are loans NOT for sale, nor will they go missing without persuence!
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    seems fitting, to post these here, really interesting body language too, sorbus obviously has a tough time with I. hispidus, this ones a bit early, a very odd fungal year.
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    They are very harmful? are you doing this treatment in the U.K? care to elaborate and add some science?
