I'd say it looks like old bark damage with decay now present and occlusion taking place, Cryptostroma corticale , probably still latent but i'd be sure its in there as well as what any one else comes up with. Hi risk target i'd be thinking take it down. hope that helps.

Interesting, it is a disease which has been around for a long time with devastating effects on our country side and its a shame that in all that time with all those tree losses, the trees have not been replaced, over the years i must have removed thousands of prominent road side Elm trees, in our village alone its completely destroyed what was once a very picturesque land scape , they keep trying to play with the genetics of the tree and i just wonder if they would have been better to replace the species altogether with some thing more suitable as a road side tree.

Cor there's some fast boys on ere.

What about Coniophora puteana ? It is a veteran so more likely to be a combination , Armillaria would be my first thoughts and ties in with the crown die back/ sparse foliage.
-
Acer palmatum , subspecies 'Garnet' Variety-camle toe.
-
Armillaria my thoughts too also Sparassis crispa, did you notice a smell of turps when you were probing ?
-
Yew, it grows quicker than you think, or Holly . Just my thoughts, also you need to consider what soil type you have first and then select a hedge to suit, drainage should also be taken into account, hope that helps.

I always think Dutch Elm Disease is a fascinating P&D which probably fits into this thread. Fungi and Beetle , and also may surprise a few people who just assumed it was just a beetle which killed the tree, where in fact the tree commits suicide. The correlation between pathogen and vector is an interesting one, confined to mostly Ulmus sp, its a complex development in two parts, in short the Elm bark beetle carries the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi on there bodies and infect the tree by boring and laying there eggs , when the eggs develop into pupae they then eat between the bark and emerge out through small shot holes. The fungus then develops in the tree via the xylem vessels which in turn causes the tree to produce phenolic compounds ,as a defense mechanism , which in turn shuts down the vascular system of the tree - in effect the tree commits suicide . The Disease also then spreads through its roots via natural root grafts to infect other Elm trees close by. good one? sorry no pictures

You have to speculate to accumulate ,as they say, and have you fingers in lots of pies, preferably steak and kidney

Well said, and there is also something very British, quintessential, about having a good old moan, and don't forget there are also a large number of people who work alone and seldom have the opportunity to express there feelings, thoughts or worries about life in the industry or any other issues. I personally think ,as we live in a free society and as long as we keep within the law or rules of the forum, we should speak freely, and try not to be too opinionated.

Pseudomonas syringae pv.morsprunorum Bacterial canker of Cherry, no control , you would do better to remove the tree and replant with a different species .
-
The fact that the tree is TPO'd does not mean planing permission can not be obtained , If an application was submitted and approved it would over ride the Order( TPO) if the tree was considered to be a constraint on the proposal .

I think it is an international problem, in the US it probably worse than here and in Australia i think the bubble has popped too , its no longer the land of opportunity that it was, a couple of my mates, one has been living there for 20 years, he's now back , sold up and did really well on the sale of his house over there, but said every thing was so expensive now (over there) and the other who i have worked for in Australia , has a big tree company over there is now hinting that he may come back, i think he's over in a few mths to consider it. He's been there for about 15 years. I think this is the new norm , the sad thing for me is that when we were not in recession, in the boom years, the money was still rubbish then:lol: there was just a bit more work about, i don't think the prices for work have gone up much at all in the last 10 years, and no where near to match inflation.

Hey thanks for that, its a job to know where to start looking and my project is sort of evolving as it were.
-
Excellent job Chris, I think it looks a treat, how long did it take?

Good post, i'm just doing two one bed units , conversion of my barn and was going to just run the water and heating of a stove in each unit, i'm now thinking of solar for hot water back up and electricity and still keep the stoves, it will be interesting to see how much input this thread generates.

Not only are the big jobs few and far between, company's are falling over them self's for the work and a lot of it is done at cost or even below cost:thumbdown: its just really hard to make any money on the big jobs, at the moment knocking out 3 or 4 small jobs a day is where the money can still be made. being quick and officiant at your job is how you make your money.

I'm considering a career change, thinking of going to work in Tesco's -
I came to the same realization about 18mths ago, I chopped my u1200 for a new puma and new tracked TW, we try to leave wood chip in dumpy bags so we now haul much less, this set up for me works really well. where as b4 some of the drags where killers now we just chip next to the task and leave in a dumpy bag , for a fee.

What no red wine or is your taste more for the apple juice -
The LPA are more likely to prosecute you the contractor as you should know better, the client to some extent is reliant on you as a professional to take control of the task and deal with the local authority your self, NEVER trust the client on there word double check everything and liaise directly your self with the tree officer, if in doubt about any of the specification request a site visit with the TO to clarify any issues .
