  9. Bukchon Hanok Village I struggle to find the info, but think remembering that an American living in Seoul in the 70’s suggested saving an area of old style Hanok houses from the knock down and build of more modern city style, an interesting area to tour through and a rare find at the end of my time there an old tree! Male Ginko with old style bracing rods helping to support it https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hanok+seoul&biw=1920&bih=963&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjSx5H0pq_KAhWDaxQKHSN7CVgQ_AUIBigB

  12. some of the sculptures and setting, good views from top and sides of this 'park' over the football stadium on one side and over the han river on the other, a small power station sits in the middle of the park, I guess powered from the methane
  13. Below taken from Wikipedia saves me having to explain the site with the fish market and car park for the world cup stadium, on the opposite side of the road , this ex rubbish tip now transformed I shudder to think of what it must have been like leading up to 93 and beyond! Nanjido (Nan(lily) Ji(mushroom) Do(island)) was an island on a branch of the Han River of Seoul, Korea. In the end of the 1970s, a dyke was constructed around the edge of Nanjido, and it became Seoul's official dump site. After 1978, Nanjido transformed as a huge mountain of garbage for 15 years, one that would contain a mountain of refuse 98m high and occupying 2,715,900 square meters of land. Nanjido's accumulation of garbage grew quickly, increasing by 3,000 truck loads of waste per day and eventually creating a pyramid thirty-four times larger than The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Currently, Korea has the biggest rate of per capita garbage production in the world Nanjido stopped being a waste dumpsite in 1993 when city officials realized that with Seoul's expansion, the site could no longer be designated as marginal. By that time, Nanjido had accumulated 91,972,000 cubic meters of garbage—the equivalent of continuous dumping by 13,000,000 8.5-ton trucks for 15 years. Nanjido might be world's tallest waste dumpsite. The garbage on Nanjido is no longer exposed. After closing it down, the city designated the site as an "ecology park" and began preparations to cover the mountain of garbage with trees. It is currently undergoing a land stabilization process that is expected to be completed by the year 2020. The walls were constructed deep into the ground to prevent the seepage of contaminated water into the Han River and streams. Methane and other gases were channeled into wells to provide heating to the World Cup Stadium and the surrounding residential district. Now the whole area of 2.8 million square meters was transformed into five different theme parks, welcoming 9.8 million visitors every year. The five parks are equipped with conservation facilities for further revival of diversified ecological system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjido https://seoulsolution.kr/content/landfill-recovery-project-transformation-landfill-ecological-park?language=en
  14. Kveldssanger hello the only watering systems I saw were 'leaky pipe' over ground, up in the air sprinklers and the hanging bags, I did see a sort of sumping to contain ground/ surface water in a few places as in pic. below . Kingofthering I was visiting family temporarily working/living in Seoul
  15. all to brief a time spent few old friends revisited, and a new 1 or 2 found, easier to find with little foliage in the way, loads of wind pruning!
  16. Possibly the most unusual and controversial building to open in seoul recently the dongdaemun plaza designed by Zaha Hadid https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=seoul+dongdaemun+plaza&biw=1920&bih=963&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7vb7yo_7JAhXGXBoKHfdwCyIQ_AUIBigB&dpr=1 plenty more info and images via search engines
  17. some of the spp. seen, identified by name labels on trees, Prunus yedoensis matsum Pinus densiflora short wide crowned Pinus koraiensis siebold I think the Scotts style Diospyros kaki thumb, persimmon fruit Celtis sinensis Styrax japonica Chionanthus retusa I try to find more later! people most polite and helpful, children always keen to try out their English language! and selfi to prove contact made! museum, palace and other school trips beware! transport bus good underground modern clean uncrowded both English announcement and visual on tele screen, most important unless you are proficient in Korean alphabet ! bus schedule and routes hard to find but ok when you have the correct numbers, people bow all the time, shops, restaurants, everywhere and you replicate, hard not to do when return home to amusement at times of recipient!
  18. leaf has early autumn look with outside edge 1/3rd brown similar in look to ours ( possible not Aesculus hippocastanum but close to it), the bull riding chap seems quite pleased to be there!
  19. more with staking detail, the bags hanging on the trees a watering and feeding system!
  20. yep even horse chestnut style trees affected here as ours! in my last picture on other post, some of planted trees are heavily braced and even braced to other trees, also trees are wrapped in hessian, I guess to help in summer heat and winter cold, bracing is often 4 bamboo poles wired together at the tree stem, the picture with the steel balls has laser light writing in the paving under and this reflect through out the structure at night.
  21. I include some images of above from a recent visit to Seoul, a city raised to the ground during the 1950 – 55 Korean war, hosting the summer Olympics in 1988 and the football world cup 2002, as a result of the above hardly any trees predate 1955, I saw 4 or 5 trees older than 60 years in 3 week visit! The city has tree lined roads with avenues of Pine, Prunus, Metasequoia, Ginkgo and Acer https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=seoul+autumn+colour&biw=1920&bih=963&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj7wpqnmvXJAhVEuxQKHSjuCpsQ_AUIBigB the autumn colour here is superb I guess all the planting here is by semi mature transplanting, there is evidence of this almost everywhere you go, there are areas of extreme modern architecture with sculpture and landscaped areas injected in between, this makes for some ‘film set’ style landscapes. tbc!
  22. I highly recommend Steve, good everything, service ,feedback, knowledge, good luck
  23. About Hazel Woodland Products one of the 1st to achieve this, hard work basic life, respect to Hugh and Carolyn, for their commitment.
  24. I know childish should know better
  25. disturbing incidence, when similar happened, with the brogio chain head http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/search.php?searchid=16043368 unfortunately with disastrous consequence, it ended with the head being banned by HSE, it is always a worrying situation when fast rotating parts get loose/ break, mowing, chipping, mulching especially when often in populated areas, I have broken the shaft and gearbox on a heavy duty strimmer with contact of mulching blade to immovable object but never had a blade break, I also think it is worth contacting supplier and manufacturer to enable them to identify cause and help prevent reoccurrence
