    No I never refered to the UKTC forum in anything I said, you all assume to much and why i can not be bothered to defend myself or justify myself, I have NOTHING to prove. especially to you Guy. 99% of the folk in here are sweet as a nut and ive all the time in the world for them, but the odd 1 percent that only come into my threads to make some snide comment or detract or wind up have over recent months put me right of this method of engagement. so a few as always running it ruining it for others, as in so many things in life.

    I am a happy bookworm today Carlquists Comparative Wood Anatomy has finaly arrived from good ol NHBS, so shall post a few photos of the last few bits and be off to a sofa for a proper readathon! also http://www.zoo.ox.ac.uk/group/west/pdf/Kiers_etal_11.pdf First up a lovely macrocarpa that I am very sad to say I had to condemn, No I aint happy but this is totaly decayed in the unions, havey limbs also cracked at unions. Real shame. Bit of laetiporus Sulphureus on Robinia (4th year) a veteran larch (Uba veteran) reduced and retained due to habitat value and character, which the client was VERY happy about I might add:thumbup: and a really knarly redwood reduced to alleviate loadings (see compression buckling) roots died on tension side and all weight on compression side, this HAD to be done.

    Your a sophisticated culture vulture on the quiet David, Hows your carving these days?

    I would also suggest getting a stiff brush on the upper side of those moss covered limbs, I am an ecologist at heart but as a production tree this will suffer bark issues if the moss becomes dominant.

    a tree of anykind in good health (as is this one) can be brought back and a shape restored. this tree needs a break, just let it be for at least two seasons growth, it needs time to restore photosynthetic area. then as others have said take out those verticals and leave all the new growth till the third season when you will be able to thin it and prune to fruit buds what remains.

    No, he thought he found them on Pfeifferi, but on a return visit the yellowish tint had vanished and revealed a much more obvious Applanatum group. I am inclined to run with Gerrit as I know two sites that are very very well populated by flat foots and they do not touch the brackets that have the form I associate with australe
