    Ganoderma can occur at height. Highest I saw it was about 10ft stuck on the side of a union with a few other fruiting bodies accompanying it. Ganoderma doesn't look like much else, pics would be ace!

    Kretz seems to be pretty aggressive on ash then? It is aggressive anyway it seems but I've seen an ash completely goosed by it. And I can't believe I've seen it on ash before you tony .

    I completely agree with you Andy. Was in the local tesco last night at 10pm. Forecourt was a frenzy. I really cannot understand why people are panic buying over a silly statement by a prat of a minister. Was half tempted to shout what a bunch of idiots. If people actually thought about what they were doing then it would have been empty. My car has just less than a full tank, it probably won't see me till the end of the week. But I'll just find a station an full up as normal. Not in a panic, not with 10 jerry cans, just fill as normal and hope the fools in a panic haven't bought it all.

    Brown oak is caused by Fistulina hepatica, it's early stages of brown rot. A long time ago trees were inoculated purely to produce brown oak. Wouldn't mind a table, or a pen, made out of it! Bog oak is more expensive again though!

    ihave a CS100 and it stands up very well for its size, if you feed it and treat it according to its size and not like a 12" beast then it will respond and work very well.

    To echo the article authors comments, i really hope that FERA do get adequate resources for this disease, god forbid it hits croft castle! why do we need to import NATIVE species?

    There's loads of trees here so plenty room! The lar page in the general tree pics thread has a picture of some ofthe woods we will use. Just as a taster

    woodpecker is more of a possibility, we have bats in the farm buildings, but rarely seen anything to indicate them around the woodland here. Simple enough answer cheers

    Noticed this hole in an alder today, dont know whether its bats or not?

    In that situation I would be strongly inclined to remove that tree. P. schweinitzii causes a brown rot in the stem and will lead to a brittle - across the grain - fracture.

    Are you small or far away?
  23. RobRainford
    Yeah I do, I just need another pair of hands on this job I'm on so thought may aswell be a climber.
