It looks like he is using HDF (=hardboard), which is just wood fibres and resin.
-
Oops, Lucombe, not Luncombe
-
Thanks for the update and closure. Personally I stand corrected (it looked like petraea), aint never seen a Luncombe but look forward to meeting one some day.

And depends on what hardware you have.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
daltontrees replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
If I lived there I'd have a PICUS permanently attached to the tree and I'd check it once a day, twice at weekends. -
Or any of those distinctive bright red berries of thuringiaca?
-
It aint Sorbus. It aint even Rosaceae. I'd bet on Quercus petraea, the Sessile Oak. Native, not as common as robur. Distinctive long petiole.
-
Deodar is the only one of the 3 common subspecies/species that has needles almost as long (1 1/2 to 2 inches) as the cones. Atlas needles rarely exceed 1 inch long. Lebanon similar. On that basis I'd say it's a Deodar.

What is going on with this tree?
daltontrees replied to Boggle4137's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Yes it's almost certainly caused by a parasitic fungus called Taphrina betulina, which triggers a profusion of twigs, which often then die. Common on Birch, Harmless overall to the tree. I don't think there's any realistic preventative treatment and although it may recur in the same tree I don't see any way of treating it. The brooms (or besoms) can be removed but it seems a bit pointless to me. -
Very interesting. What species of Spruce is it?
-
Paul, you've posted the 2017 decision, which was then appealed and the appeal decision has just come out. The written judgement of the appeal it is expected soon. It mught be more useful for folks to wait to see that.
-
This stuff can be used, filled with pea gravel instead of soil.
-
It might be Flammulina, maybe it goes wrinkly on top when it's detached.
-
Turn it over then...
-
Yes probably Sorbus intermedia Swedish Whitebeam.
-
I saw these last week, I'm just posting the pics for general interest.

I shoud have said 'known' association, as others have reported it. I have seen what I thought was I.h. on oak in Wales on several occasions but could not verify without a climb. I shoudl have said nothing, actually. Up north we get very few unconventional associations, and some of the fungi you seem to spot regularly just don't appear up her at all. Do you think it's probably F. hepatica?
-
Alnus glutinosa, perhaps? Any tree can be moved if you take a big enough chunk of soil with it. That one might need a metre radius around it, and down about 0.6m.
-
Also worth considering Inonotus hispidus due to height and common association with Oak.
-
Just as a matter of professional interest, did the Council ask for replacement planting?
-
Ahhhh, I've just noticed I said there is 'not' a dead exception. My brain told my fingers to type 'now' and it somehow came out as 'not'. Sorry for the confusion. There is of course a 'dead' exception in England.
-
My point exactly!?
-
No need, that was exactly what I meant. And/or what the OP meant. For the sake of the OP I'm glad I qualified my original response. In Sotland we just have to humour England's assumption that the world revolves around it.
-
I am going for the longest satellite delay in Arbtalk history here. No-one replied to this ID request (post no. 6 of 10,5535), I reckon it's a Quercus frainetto.

A propos of nothing, saw this yesterday, looks like the ivy's indecision cost it, the Sycamore has since expanded and split the fork. Pleased me gratly, as I FFFFF hate ivy.
