good post!

if the subject of QTRA is making more people consider this Im well on board! afterabout ten years of tracking fungi down I begun to realise that the risks from so called "compromised trees" was no different to any other, i see so many trees with fungi i dont even flinch 90% of the time now.

thats just mean:laugh1:

only if youdo not find conciousness BEFORE death!

notmy kinda thing, its american, never got their sense of humour!

yes dean, what are called new bark initials

sold! its a deal its a steal its sale of the .....century! anything that involves fungi is perfect!

pepper spray!

I think it should be your a short time material, after all life is an illusionary thing, we are all but sparks of consciousness, having a human experience:001_cool: long time dead makes it all sound so terminal:laugh1:

cracking piece mate,

LOVE THIS POST! the self promotion:lol: so bloody true even if we dont set out that way:thumbup: everyones at it, but:lol: its so last year!

I have an incoming friend request but when I CLICK ON THE NOTIFICATION i JUST SEE MY FRIENDS NOT THE NEW REQUESTEE SORRY FOR CAPS! FAT BANANA FINGERS AGAIN!

I very much like the way you roll fella! Im up for this!

lol, going on that & the PM's there will be no shortage of willing lads! The next time I get a big job that has plenty of bigwood veteran action I will put a offer out for all you lads to come in on if only for the experience, nice to see so many lads so keen and well up for it:thumbup1:

this will have the wall out at some stage and be lost as a tree, no tension roots, same as atree on a bank, if no pillar root on compression side it will fail at some stage. why not treat it as a headge pollard and retain it for another 100 years and get some logs from it?

ive thought about landies but they just cant carry enough chip and still have room for tools, and the turning circle is pants! hilux too small again, one big reduction and it will be full before the jobs done, same as a landy, I will stay small for a coupke of years but I cant climb forever, will need a gang or two out when im fifty plus, and \i like having crew to look after. I used to treat my lads on birthdays, no warning, off to the pub or somewhere cool for a chillin day:thumbup1: When i can take on a fulltime groundyim going to make sure he comes with me on all courses and seminars, when i find the right one who wants to be a real eco arb:thumbup1:

This avenue of mainly Horse chestnuts, some sycamores has been rounded over many times and pollarded many many moons ago, the board had decided they had had enough of the ugly butchered look of the previous contractor and got us in on local rep to try and restore some form. The trees are suffering with HCBC (horse chestnut bleeding canker) and many are due to be felled, some already and replaced with some nice trees from either majestic or barchams cant remember which norway maples rather than horse. weve done a few in the road now, this is not an easy job, very little to work with internally as they are so dense, and with HCBC deadwood galore. the other firm are cheaper on the fells so we arent being asked to do that work, but the price would appear to be less important when it comes to the aesthetic side of the operations, so just goes to show, quality does count for a lot, even when its a bit pricier:thumbup1:
