    He is a prize babe along with his thick as pig shit side kicks. Is swearing allowed? The worst government I have known in this country.

    I'd always been told that the actual tree firm was responsible/ liable and not the owner - I'd thought it was unfair. Obviously I'd been told incorrectly.

    You might have issues with house insurance?? I wouldn't want a tree that close to my house whatever it's size..

    I suspect the soil level was raised at rear of this lime 10-12 years ago. It's in reasonable health/vigour. Would there still be a benefit to the tree of attempting to restore the original ground level around the butt? Thanks

    Just a quick blast with some small diameter stuff - it is pretty impressive the speed of it. However I do need to test on some bigger stuff. Tree work taken a backseat at moment... The gear box is a bit iffy- selection temperamental.

    I imported this jonco tracked chipper direct from China. I think it was a bit over 3k with shipping and vat at import. Not had chance to use properly.

    Thanks, that's more or less what I was thinking 👍

    With regards to surveying an 'urban forest ' ( if that term still in fashion) with a network of paths- impractical and not necessary to plot all the trees, would it be good practice to plot all the bigger trees ( eg.45cm plus diameter) and record data, OR just trees where significant features are found that could potentially be an issue? The woodland is not dense, and about 10 acres. Thanks

    I might have cuttings available in winter - year old ones though, not the long ones that you generally see 'planted'. It seems to be the favoured method, although I think smaller would potentially be better although possibly more labour intensive.. I know why they put long ones in- supposed to be straighter, etc. However I've seen some slightly crooked ones lately..Take more effort to plant as well..

    Probably just leave it- except take the string off it. It looks like a wilted ear fungus.

    Are you looking to buy harvestable trees or cuttings to plant?

    Not possible to tell from photo. It may be affected by fungi, etc. Damaged roots, etc....

    Swedish Whitebeam is (I think) hybrid of whitebeam and rowan. Fairly common ornamental.I NOW DON'T KNOW IF HYBRID BECAUSE ALSO DESCRIBED AS A SUB SPECIES - I wouldn't think a hybrid is a sub species.
  18. richyrich
    The first one looks more like S. cinerea- grey sallow. There are 2 subspecies. However willows hybridise, therefore what looks like a particular variety or species may in fact be a hybrid with a parent that may look nothing like it. Etc, etc.. The bottom willow looks more like Salix caprea(goat), but it has slight characteristics of S. phylicifolia/tea leaved willow. This I think is only found naturally in Northern England and further north. Nice mature specimen whatever it is.

    What part of British isles is this?

    Maybe the tree officer is mates with the developer. Put your concerns in planning objections. Contact your chief planning officer and district councillor (s). You have to create a lot of noise... Sounds a bit 'corrupt'...

    £16-40 for a straw bale🤠. Someone is very good at marketing if all this brash, etc. is selling. 🙉

    Just asking for advice regarding tree survey pricing for risk assessment/health and safety For single trees? For example a school grounds with10-20 trees. I have PTI and VALID. Looking to diversify into this field, Thanks

    Your title sums it up- willow is not shade tolerant.

    I'd say hybrid. I'm not that proficient on poplar id though.
