fingers on the buzzers....10.10.10 competition!
RobRainford replied to Yve_Clark's topic in General chat
I'd prefer a chunky kit kat but a mars bar will suffice! -
Well they aren't massive but aren't small. I would say they are reaching maturity so I'd call it young mature or semi mature

I've puzzled myself now. I think it's a noble fir. Looking at those cones. As we've got one with similar looking ones. Argh. That clear stem makes me think it was a nordman. Nobles tend to have more needles on their stems.
-
Pics would help. What species is it? Another big help. If the tree seems to be reacting well. But there is an obvious defect. Then investigate it further. Maybe a Picus investigation?
-
it doesnt suit you at all, i think you should bring it here as it would suit me so much better one of those blew past me once, dont want to know how fast it was going, but it wasnt slow!
-
haha they are amazing frankie. the alan sugar one 4:15-4:50 had me in tears!
-
i hear they send him to croxteth in liverpool!
-
thats hardly original though, ive seen it loads before! and they can fall out, i cant!
-
Not tried them on spikes yet. Will try and have a go soon.
-
Yeah. He just did the farmer style backcut and scarper! I'll get a couple pics up. Most of the trees are still small. The sycamore and almond are the largest. Followed by the chestnuts. The sycamore is a fun climb. It's as high as phone wires. But has a great centre anchor point and some good branchwalks. Check your pms Tom!
-
Cheers Tom. That's the bottom end. Got a good few things planted round there. Almond, noble fir, few cherries. Couple of young mature ash. Newly planted acer rubrum last year. Variegated Holly which looks good. We did have a eucalyptus but it was less than 5m from the house so in a drunken escapade a few years ago my dad felled it onto the washing line! We've also got a judas tree. Another Holly. 4 chestnuts. Some laurel. Lots of hawthorn and privet hedging. And not enough time to manage it all!

Meindl airstreams. Loves em I do!
-
You should have seen the guy filming it! (my dad!) It was in our garden. I'd finished what I needed and was messing around. Btw those boots are awesome for climbing!
-
well its either i do or a monkey does! need to get this sorted quick sharpish, ill see what there is round the place, ive driven through before and there are some hoooooge oaks and a good selection of other non oak species
-
well this was some of my time wasted today, was in the garden helping out and had to prune the sycamore so did this first! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Kk0qkAxKU]YouTube - Leaf blower fun[/ame]

you do know your not allowed outside your car? id only pull your wipers off anyway:biggrin:
-
I know. We might be allowed in with the monkeys though? Wouldn't it be fun jumping on peoples cars! We should have a long zip line! Tensioned with a vehicle! That way ed doesn't hit the floor when he clips on
-
I like peppermint tea! Not with milk though. Is that a Yorkshire thing?
-
Huck we wouldn't be in the safari park unfourtunately. But in the grounds of Knowsley hall. I'll be doing a woodland survey there hopefully so I'll have the chance to have a look round at the place and I'll say we could deadwood ones we climb or something like that. You wish mr Spencer!
-
Pruned a cherry for my grandad. Reduced it a bit and thinned it a bit. He was 'well pleased!'
-
After the success of the last one. I've been wanting to have another somewhere. I might be able to get access to Knowsley park as we are tenants of there and they have lots of nice big trees and open spaces. If I can agree something with them who would be up for it? Putting some feelers out!
-
He must have a special punishment bag in his truck! Haha. It'd make you work quicker if your with a bloke who threatens to tickle you and perform sexual acts if you do wrong! hehe
-
I think it's rude to turn down a brew. If you don't want it accept it anyway and just pour it away when they aren't watching. Or if I don't want tea I just ask for water when it's warm. Better than having nothing! I've had chips sent up before now. That's about as generous as I've had!
