  1. Just ordered this gear and price only gone up £1.99👍🍰
  2. They look like aphids/larvae of some kind...
  3. Poss Scots Pine or similar...
  4. Or poss horse chestnut
  5. Looks bit like an Ash or poss Walnut. Can you put twig pic on showing buds etc?
  6. Wonder Grip® - WG-318 AQUA PRODUCTS.WONDERGRIP.COM I am going to buy another pair of these. It was the blue Aqua ones I had- thin with no thick liner to reduce dexterity. Screwfix now stock them!!
  7. Dig them up and put back in the containers?
  8. I thought deeper foundation regulations came in post 1976 drought.?
  9. 22ft from house - if left to grow freely it will prob cause problems...
  10. I think the trees will cause problems regarding the house...

    Hollow Ash

    A mate felled it today in my village. That's a limb from higher up the tree. There was at least one fruiting body up the tree- not sure if it was on this particular one. But yes- I've not seen owt like it before..

    Hollow Ash

    This Ash tree was host to Inonotus hispidus. Is the greeny/bluish zone of colouration due to chemical/physiological reaction from the tree as part of the compartmentalisation process?
  13. There is a very good tree and planting sundries company- Farm Forestry. I would ask them for advice. They sell mesh guards which I think are better for conifers.
  14. I would drive to the house and see if she still lives there- otherwise you may be wasting your time. You can hand deliver letter if no answer. Possibly make a trip of it and visit somewhere, etc.
  15. Cheers Paul- defo room for improvement but learnt a fair bit on the course. 4 or 5 day course would be good. 👍I will keep studying/observing...
  16. Just got my pti results in post- very pleased to have passed-82%- ironically I got better marks on inspection-which I thought prob failed and on fungi ID I got one ID wrong ; whereas thought would have got 100% on them..Not a walk in the park overall.
  17. Yes maybe would sprout a bit. A willow log will sprout and take root if it's just sat on damp soil. Twigs/shoots don't generally have enough stored reserves to take root so readily unless pushed into soil or stuck in water where they can get growing rapidly.👍
  18. It defo won't grow from cuttings that are not pushed into soil.
  19. Willow cuttings - once dried out they are not very durable. They won't last that long- 2 or 3 years guesstimate. Will just decay. Have you thought of using Common Reed..?
  20. It looks like the tree itself is having a shite..
  21. Yes. I fairly confident i passed the theory. Just annoyed on the inspections- missed some stuff off and could have done better. Waiting for results...
  22. Does anyone know the national pass / success rate for the PTI? I read somewhere 38%. I did course last week and prob failed on tree assessments i reckon- not got results yet, but made a few schoolboy errors. I think prob passed the written and fungi. I think course would be better over 4 days and have less emphasis on pseudo science from well known authors- regards kinetic/potential energy etc. Time to update the theory part maybe.
  23. I have seen a small 'wild' Elm in my village with similar twigs.
  24. My district council has failed to show a group TPO on it's map despite it being designated prob over 15 years ago and me reporting it's ommission.
  25. Yes, looks like Ash the table. First bit maybe as well?
