You really do have to be careful with them and treat them with respect, top tip, always keep the two cutter teeth as new as possible and as you replace those just refit them as the others become worn. Always drop the revs to tick over to engage and disengage the clutch.

Thats a fair one, I was using the wall on the first post to scale and the man on the larger tree, I do know that they can become a good size, there's a good specimen at Westonbirt .

Anthracnose on Willow can persist for many years, early diagnosis can be made from the foliage, with spots showing on leaves and shoots, also stress caused by it, can cause shoots to develop on stems, advanced ,the tree will begin to loose bark and can at the same time show signs of recovery, but if its got it then there is no practical cure, another indicator can be if you tap lightly around the trunk even on what you think is healthy bark you can normally hear it to be slightly lifting. On ones i have seen its been very much like the images shown. Any pruning you are proposing to do will only finish the tree off, it may try to recover for another year but then you will find its died. Very common on these trees.

Have they just been going slack or thrown a belt? when did you last inspect them or is this the first problem , what hrs on the clock ?

I would say it was Anthracnose of weeping Willow .

OK, I'v just read them all now and feel you are all of the caliber to hear a truly horrific story, True one, When i was on an education course at HMS Nelson on a night out we were doing a spot of mine sweeping in a club, I quickly picked up and downed what I thought was the remnants of a pint only to discover as the contents of the glass passed my Addams Apple that it was in fact the regurgitated remnants of another persons nasal passage , I think of that night on a regular bases , its one of the many dreams i keep having, it was like drinking an Ouster, we were only very very poor back then, fighting for King and Queen , but mostly on the street.

STIHL MS150 TC-E Top Handle Chainsaw Now Available from Honey Brothers
Jesse replied to Honey Bros's topic in General chat
Just to make you think twice, I'v got one 10" bar, And I THINK I can explain the feeling best ,when your up a tree with the saw, its just like you are wearing pajamas, so light, like you trimming with your bare hands, the main difference to the 200 is the 200 will cut trough thick cord under pressure, the 150 you have to let the saw cut the wood, keep it sharp, its the best little saw ever, fantastic for pruning cuts. -
AAARRRREEEE, the Lime thread, ........will it ever end good job and I hope you made LOADS A MONEY

Thanks Global, thats what I was thinking and have dune them up to, I may just make a few calls to be on the safe side but thanks for taking the time, I do like the look of your Bandit grinders 4x4 ones but just have concerns over access, what are your thoughts ? I know you are the bandit man, but you have moved both machines around so could be a good person to ask.

Now whats wrong with a V B ? I know, I,l give it to you that you serve it in a frosty glass raped in a doily , on a hot day after a hard one which was EVERY DAY out there, it was a quality treat , BUT WHY NOT MAKE IT A PINT ? i can't remember the sizes but they were pretty shoddy
-
Just my view on the subject, I'd say living in the country side is the answer, light pollution is at its lowest from that perspective, when I arrive home late on a clear night I often find that the best observations of the night sky, the moon and the planets are observed from a lateral point in the garden. Bridget disagrees.

I'd say yes you are going to end up with stunted trees, but in that situation I would say that thats ok, BS standards or recommendations or any other uk documents will really have little relevance where you are, volcanic subsoil ? I will try and explore the issue more, things looking good for you over there ?, mines a V B one day maybe .

Did it work ?

What shall I do with this oak?
Jesse replied to Woodworks's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Hello Tony, I,d agree but for the fact it looks like they have skanked out all the other trees for fire wood already, just thought it would be nice to leave one standing tree along that bank -

Good sound advice and one last thing, I really think the tide is about to turn, things this year will begin to pick up.

Hello, I am a Dwarf, with long arms and big hands, .......and a drink problem ....can I have a job ?
-
Really sorry to hear that and good luck with your new venture, I had been told by my brother Frank that things were getting tough down there in Somerset, outlaws, cowboys and aliens especially around the Hemyock frontier , I am fairly lucky as work around Missouri seems to be quite boyant although I know economic climates can change very quickly . Good luck What are you going to do?
-
Yes, now I know a bit more about it and the issues, Pollards would have possibly been my recommendation, and possibly not all at once , stage it over a few years , possibly doing them alternately depending on spacing's and structural dependency of individual trees . All depends on your TO, and budget. I'd of been up for a bit of Pollarding, even now as an old man, I'm off for a drnik now.

Right Mark, where shall I start , well in a minute I,m just about to get S**t FACED, AND the wife, Margret ,has now forbidden me from drinking and Arbtalking so I am sorry, this is my last text on the mater, the can tastes sooooo nice, smooth and cool (speckled hen tonight followed by red wine and possibly Baileys) Hows that sound. Dry roosted peanuts hors D'oeuvres.

If I was on the tools and employed I would just get on with the job, as a contractor asked to tender (now) I would not be interested in the job, as a surveyor I would have produced an alternative specification or at least tried to. A point I should make is that I no longer have to try and take on all the jobs I pick and choose a bit now, try to do what I believe is best. I also think about costs and the future requirements of any recommendations I may make.
