Sorry, misunderstanding. I do know about castanea. What I meant was only on the one type of oak. As the big oak at croft is a Q. petrea! I remember that one vaguely. I've seen so many since and as they were early days it's trickier to remember but I do a little bit. The two fruiting bodies in my pic above was on top of a pollard head. About 8ft from the ground.

It's sorted now. I'm really pushed for time tomorrow and don't have much over half a day so wanted someone quicker than myself. Time is money!

excursion with a fellow uni-goer to croft today. I didnt actually take any pictures of the croft oak today, but ive got some from last time, I got some shots of Fistulinas that were small and emerging last time and now are mature and over matured. The fungi on croft oak (first pic) was about 12" across!. some other fistulinas included too, the last two fungi, both found on a beech stump, i am unsure of the ID, is one a Polyporus sp? -
Another job on. Want a climber as I need to sort ground based stuff! Reductions are on order so if preferably somebody who likes those. Only small trees so should be about half a day climbing. Let me know ASAP! Cheers 07841128366

Wow. Very interested. But this has come at the wrong time Fir me. In about 8 months I'll be up for it 120%!

Meripilus giganteus for sure. I wouldn't say it killed it but would have stressed it looking at the wood. Meripilus spreads through spores. Like other fungi. It will land on a wound of a tree and then start to decay its roots. Can be some bad consequences however trees can live with merip for a while before anything significant happens

Small silky scratches leaving two red lines on my forearm. They are becoming less often now I've tamed my sugoi First time out with the sugoi it got my on my index and middle finger on left hand. Got a lump on my knuckle and a nice little scar on my middle finger. Had to come down as it would not stop bleeding! Gave the conservatory under the tree some nice red polka dots

They fall to bits of you look at them funny!

Muck truck and some ramps. Carried 5 times what I could in one trip and moved at a brisk walk. That was £25 a day. Bargain.

i enjoy conifer work, just not the scratching.

I call myself an arborist. Short for Arboriculturist. Which is what we should all be calling ourselves. Every Arborist can be a Tree Surgeon. But not every Tree Surgeon Can be an Arborist

It is possible. I think it's a 10 tooth. I did think about getting one for mine to run a 13" bar

i only use ladders for hedges, even then only if necessary, i much prefer to climb around on top if i can! ladders are no good against trees because the tree tends to be slippy and the moment a ladder twists or slips slightly thats me done!

Not viewable on mobile

I use the female system. Much more organised than the male system!

It will always land expensive side down

Here's something to ponder When you put Ice in your drink, the ice melts and the water level doesn't rise, why are people saying sea levels are rising because the ice caps are melting?

Tony I've got access to a lot of scientific papers of you ever want me to search for some. I've got a few good ones already. -
Anyone in Cornwall have dealings with FR Jones?

They will sell to professional users as per stihls policy. The best thing to do is give them a call. -
