Kreztmaria deusta?

Possible Kretzschmaria deusta

I think your right. I found how to upload but it's working. I'll post again when I have the app

I know Steve, I posted before I'd finished post, now I can't find how to upload the pics from my ipad

Ok, how do post the pics?

Hi all, found this on an Ash, I suspect Kretzschmaria deusta, what do you think?

Hi all, am looking at pear technology for my first investment in this kind of kit, budget about £1500-£2000 for software, data capture device ( tablet but not an Ipad, am sick of apple ) and gps, that should be enough shouldn't it? I'm not as computer savvy as some of you, who are writing lines of code and the such, and pt mapper pro looks pretty straight forward to me. Someone tell me if am wrong please, am just looking for minimum fuss really I'd rather spend a bit more money and get it right first time round. Any help or advise appreciated

I seen that on the news, it made me chuckle when they said and I quote ' they are thought to have been hidden for literally ages '. Literally ages! I loved that

Re: Tree survey equipment I have the nat cert in Arb level 2 and the technicians certificate in Arb level 3 for now. All goes well I'll be getting regular bs5837 and tree condition surveys, anything you can recommend or suggest would be great thanks

Cheers Kev, I thought they'd be little call for climbing surveys but am missing the climbing, I just got sick of taking a chainsaw with me. I've used pen and paper all through my tech cert, I need something better. What gps data logger you got? Where did you get it? Cheers for your help!

Thanks for getting back to me Steph, I've just finished the tech cert so I've got the basics am just wondering how much work there is out there that calls for the picus range of decay detection equipment, that's something I want to look to doing in the future. Also, I know there is mapping software specifically for doing the bs5837 surveys, but I've no idea which is best and what people are using. Do you do any bs5837 surveys?

Hi all, I'm looking to set up surveying ( bs5837, tree condition etc ) an am wondering what equipment/software people would suggest to get me up an running and where's best to get it. Also, does anyone do much climbing when surveying and is their much call for decay detection equipment ( picus sonic tomograph, treetronic ), as these are things am really interested in. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry I've got that wrong Round that up to 900 not 90 and end up 10.8m rpa

Yeah sloth that helps, I get what your saying. So here's my example worked thru, just to check I've got it right now. I measured round the tree and got 2820mm divide that by 3.142 = 897.5 do I round that up to 90. X12 =1080 an then divide that by 1000 =. 1.8 m is that right then, thats the rpa from the centre of the tree

Thanks for your reply How do you work out the rpa's? I've been measuring around the trees at 1.5 m, which have me the measurements I've mentioned and then times 12 of that to give me the rpa size. Should I take my measurements and divide them by 3.14 to give the diameter then? Thanks for your help

Am an arb student just trying to get my head around bs 5837 2012, an I've just been doing a couple of practice surveys and ive got a couple of questions about tree removal/retention. I surveyed an area using bs 5837 recommendations, for an area for the development of a small car park or building surrounded by the exsisting trees Two trees I surveyed both bs cat - C1, T1 - sycamore +20 m tall Dbh- 2820, fair condition, 10-20 years remaining contribution T2 - silver birch, +15 m tall Dbh 1750, fair condition, 10-20 years remaining contribution These trees would require crown lifting if retained and be really close to the borders of any development. My questions are. Is it justifiable to remove these trees to facilitate any proposed development, just because of there size, condition, remaining life and proximity to the site? If so what would you suggest as replacement trees to plant, I mean you would plant another sycamore would you? These may be stupid questions but there just little things I could do with a little advice with. Any thoughts Cheers

Hi, anyone know were you can buy or hire a Tree planting machine you can use with a tractor? I've done a few internet searches and cant find anywhere in the u.k. that supplies tree planting machines, any ideas anyone?
