    its all onions carrotts and cabbages for me, but the brussels wont be too much longer and the corn is getting there too. oh had some runners too.
  2. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    very, very common on ornamental prunus species too:thumbup1: it is one of the principal fungi on P. ' Cerasifera' AKA the purple plum or Pissardii

    sounds like a tree that will need annual inspection
  4. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Interesting, for it to be vulnerable the pomaceus would have to also be vulnerable too would it not? and its substrate, predominantly hedgerow P. spinosus and very common Habitat in the u,k. I shall keep my eyes peeled and suspect i know a site very heavily colonised in Bucks, but had no idea at the time. Thanks for this very cool post:thumbup1:

    heres a chatty oak, still cracks me up how they argue over t/r ratio theory. natures rules!

    3-4 metres for a structural mod, and NO THINNING, naughty boy!

    Well matty without reduction its probably inevitable that a failure will occur, that is if she doesn't shed some weight, say if Laetiporus sulphureus was in the upper regions. Or a well to do arby type gave her a tickle!
  8. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    you have superb taste my man, I am sure somebody will have the thing you seek
  9. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    just had a quick scan for it but my books are all stacked now (thy fill a small room!) and its been a while since I saw it. I do need to go through it all soo, when I see it I will think of you, ive an excellent recall for things like that. but you did make me look and I found a book i forgot to finish! Microbial Ecology; Organisms, Habitats and activities sweet!

    people who dont know about trees shouldnt be making comments like that! decay is perfectly detectable, thats what an annual survey is for!
  11. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    if a cythe is part of it, then yes! Ive wanted one for ages after seeing a guy doing it in Romania, awesome and no petrol!
  12. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    agreed:thumbup1: An art that might be lost if these academic smart arses have their way, along with reductions. It would be fell and replace or nothing at all in their world, least thats the impression you get talking to some of them. Let the treeworkers work trees, we know how its done!

    Im just getting worried as the prices of some of the titles is going a bit intergalactic! tempting I can imagine, making me consider my own collection of titles for sure! I knew books was an investment but not in that way! Ive spent a good few K on books, but now I could probably get my money back on just 2% of them!
  14. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    nice one Pat, hows things, might give you a ring after me tea:thumbup1:
  15. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Dont anyone be getting any funny ideas about this one going missing, im tracking! lost one and why the bookclubs not seen any new additions.
  16. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Soryy sasha, ive only just seen that post! only rules are simple, put your name down, in the relevent book thread for the loan and when the current lender in line has done with their 6 weeks alloted loan they send it to you, then you to the next on the list waiting. that way everyone only pays postage one way:thumbup1:
  17. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Come on Rainford, you can do better than this:biggrin: brackets, even annual ones may persist on or near the tree for at least till the following years fruiting. Resinaceum and Lucidum are both annual Ganodermas
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Yes there is work on plates, off the top of my head cant give you a reference or ISBN number, would have to look into the library. No plating alone cant be used to tell much
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    the ganos resinaceum rob:001_rolleyes:
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    not my place sadly, or the darn things would have been through the chipper after the umpteenth time:biggrin:
  21. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    smart phones, bloody things want banning at work, our two under 25's are on em all day long
  22. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    bar the decay part I was agreeing:biggrin: and no, dont really "get on the Cizer" much:lol:
  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    I have a little book on specifically plating and zone lines in decays, plating not really useable in isolation, but as a piece of a puzzle, all clues reveal the culprits.
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    American Express, that'll do nicely:thumbup1:

    Send us a card with an image and I will drop a few with "rich and famous clients" youll sell a few
