  1. thanks johnp! heres two pines I thinned and reduced a bit a while back, even the T/O said it could not be done!
  2. fortunately, that "preaching" in your words (sad) is much more appreciated than criticised, which IS what your doing. Your using a derogatory term to describe your perception of my views and approach to highlighting and publicising the issues. That is a shame coming from you, I am disappointed, but thats your flow, i will choose to continue my flow like water flows around the rock in the stream. Eventaly even the biggest of rocks are worn to pebbles and trundle along in the currents of movement and flow.
  3. to be fair this hornet raid of the bees is unique to the asian hornet, our bees havent learnt the method of killing the scout that locates the nest so if the asian hornets get here our bes will have a HUGE issue
  4. Pinus sylvestris Fastigiata (Sentinel Pine) | Barcham Trees
  5. tree hugger, yeah, and youll appreciate that when there are none left and you live in a high rise cos there is no room for us to biuld anymore!
  6. I have a shot of them lower than this on a birch too somewhere:thumbup1:
  7. gutted for you, but welcome
  8. how about a fastigiate scots pine, a compromise
  9. did you move to this area and think its a nice place to live? do you not feel any empathy for the ecosystem that your house partly if not entirely displaced? if i was your TO i would meet your view halfway, and acept the long term fell option, BUT like you standing firm on your YOUR view on the fell, would maintain MY view that YOU must replace with what existed before:biggrin:
  10. That last part is something the industry at large is trying hard to eradicate, Your doing what you need to do to avoid being hung drawn and quartered in court, the advice that you need to follow and given thus far is solid and to re iterate those points... 1) Phaeolus schweinitzii is a known principal decay fungi of the roots and butt. 3) the tree is leaning toward and within reach of property (though likley to do minimal damage to house and even more unlikely to kill) 4) a written notice of intent sent to council TO giving 7 days notice should already be on route or emailed. 5) that this tree will cost between 350 and 650 as a rough estimate and take a day to complete depending on the firms individual setups team numbers. 6) that you will have the backing of many of us should you in the very unlikely event of a prosecution for felling a protected tree.
  11. that is your free choice, but bear in mind you have just exposed as so many others have a very narrow perception of that message. I guess some poeple will not acept the truth and the discomfort that goes with accepting that we are on a path that we will see end the reign of the human animal.
  12. Whilst I totaly agree with the mozaics point and biodiversity, these old growth woods are engines of that proscess, and are so important. simply replanting them is NOT going to work in the way we imagine.
  13. I am not sure abut the cuticularis, not quite right for me but a possible. daedaleopsis onfrogosa (what host) G applanatums are assured and I will elaborate in a mo last one Host? hard to say, pores like trametes with the gano, one can see the brown layers of the upper, and what the tree is saying is Im being white rotted with selective delignification, you can see my bulgewood formations, if my fungi was fommes I would be cracking longtitudinaly as the fommes follows my medulary rays:001_cool:
  14. not fommes sean, applanatums.

  17. it depends on your genetic origin westerners have consumed milk for millenia, wheras asians (chinese/japs and the like have never had that aspect of diet in the culture and hence most are lactose intolerant
  18. if dried i would imagine so
  19. Simple question, simple answer:thumbup: it may be squirells chewing out the soft rotten wood, many animals will do so in order to make a home in heartwood decayed trees:thumbup1: its only later that bats find it a home, they tend to be nomadic and oportunistic
  20. nature is shocking, there are many battles in the macro world that would be the subject of science fiction movies and horror! Im glad to be top of the food chain (mostly)
  21. all of em is special.
  22. NO:biggrin:
  23. tubby! right im going to work!
  24. thats rich coming from heath boy!
