    If you're thinking about the hb20 I'd recommend taking a Dan equip 25sp for a test drive, we find it's a much better machine and gets in a lot more tight gardens despite being an inch wider. http://www.danequip.co.uk/our-products/25-27sp-grinder/

    Looks like prunus to me then, not sure on species though.

    Awful news to hear, he was the lad holding his business card up in his profile pic I think and only young. Never know what to write in these situations but please pass on my sympathies.

    I'd always thought as they flower early the fruit would be early too. Never kept a diary mind.
  5. kev7937
    I'd say the opposite twig, bud and fruit look most prunus like to me leaf alone may cause confusion but all together says prunus. Waiting for the fruit to be dissected now.
  6. kev7937
    Prunus cerasifera maybe.
  7. kev7937
    Apricot looks good. Ta all.
  8. kev7937
    Pretty sure it's prunus

    Quick glance at Phillips book didn't help Prunus???
  10. kev7937
    Yep. Prunus😊

    Mid Surrey farm, Reigate rd, Epsom take green waste and supply topsoil Home base is 2 mins down the road for turf or Royce turf are a bit more specialised but in the other direction towards cobham, they'll deliver though.

    Would it not help to start at the end of the log rather than the middle?
  14. kev7937
    No decent bud pics??

    One of my pals got hold of some blanks some how when we were kids, not sure what they were but they wouldn't have looked out of place slung round Rambo's shoulders. Bored one evening we thought it would be a good idea to get a hacksaw on them to release the gunpowder, after a few minutes and only half way through due to a blunt saw we put a match to one. Only did that once too.

    How do I go about claiming my prize pls Steve? Is it just a case of contacting forest and Arb or do I need a code? Thanks again. 🙂

    We've installed the spikes using cable ties and applied the gel to branches up a cedar as well, no idea how effective it was though. I was of the opinion they'd just move to the next branch but at least that moved the problem onto a flower bed rather than the patio I think people would be less dismissive if it was there kids getting coated in bird poo and treading it all over the place

    Wow Big thanks to Steve and to Timberwolf, the best Sunday morning surprise in a long while.😀😀😁😁😁

    Yep it's not a great problem I just thought I'd try and clarify it for the client as I felt a bit sorry for him really. We wouldn't have removed the tree ourselves on a technicality, not really a great believer on peeing on your own doorstep. Thanks for the input though.

    I was definitely taught at college that a misidentified tree made the Tpo unenforceable, this was from a visiting tree officer who as I recall took great pleasure in informing us little loopholes and ways to get round them. Not saying he's correct but i thought it may have helped our client in this situation, who fwiw I have more sympathy for now I know he isn't a developer but was extending the property for himself.
  22. kev7937
    Thanks It's a common walnut so pretty easy to Ident really, I suspect they haven't actually visited the site but have tpo'd it at the request of the neighbour who was a little bit over enthusiastic telling us how much he hated the tree and wanted it out. I guess you could see it from street view to give a rough idea if it was worth protecting.
  23. kev7937
    Yeah they're gonna object so will see what happens. Thanks again.
  24. kev7937
    Thanks, it's pretty clear from the map which tree it's for and to be fair it's a nice tree but imo it's too close to the present property to reach its full potential and has certainly thrown a rather large spanner in the works for the developer.
  25. kev7937
    Thanks Paul It's an individual tree we were due to take down today but they chucked a Tpo on it Friday. It's easily identifiable from the road so I was a bit surprised it was listed as "deciduous tree" and nothing else. Thanks
