  1. Hi Oddbird, the wife grounds for me. She,s excellent at it, allright so you need to cut smaller chunks when sectioning down as she,s not the neanderthal type. She,s also much better at dealing with the customer and getting tea and cakes out of them.
  2. and susceptible to silverleaf once the sap starts descending
  3. :001_smile:Welcome to the world of MS 200,s
  4. Thanks hama. Mycelium is white the mocha coloured stuff looks like a run of silicone down the bark inclusion. will try and upload photo's
  5. I have been looking at a large mature beech 80ft overhanging buildings which shed a major limb in the last snow. Trunk 5 ft diam rising to 18 ft then dividing into 5 major limbs, one of these has shed in last snow leaving another major damaged limb which will have to be removed and tears to the trunk. I have pics but they are too big to upload 1.7 mb. Where the limb detached there is decay to the top of the branch and fungal mycelium (white) through the wood apppox 1/4 of limb thickness. Where the two limbs attach along the bark inclusion You can see fungal growth approx 1/4-1/2 thick mocha in colour on surface and darker underneath. I know this is not a lot to go on but anyone with any ideas what fungi is and prognosis for tree is. I and client would rather not remove tree but will do if we have to.

  11. Hi there, I am coming down to Bury st edmunds next week to the outlaws, can anyone point me in the direction of a good arb shop. Might as well do something enjoyable during the week, mind you lined up a tree job for the end of the week (busmans hoilday).
  12. Just to throw my pennyworth in I think is one of the Euonymus family, there are some small trees in this family. Could be E.alatus but think its to big for that, E.latifolius up to 4.5m high etc. But there again could be totally wrong awaiting your views with intrest

Good ground no regrowth, no hydro lines on a slope 1 in 4. Brash not my problem they may chip it but only been asked to fell. May have to cross cut.
