    In my opinion crown reduction is alot harder on a tree. The amount of mateial that is lost means a large amount of stored suger and food making capability is lost making it ahrd for the tree to recover as well, especially in old trees. Crown thinning is a good tool when you are worried about wind failure but dont want to go for the full reduction. Plus the tree look smore natural afterwards and neighbouring trees dont get instantly exposed to the full force of new wind. Just my pennies worth. Feel free to criticise if you dont agree. Andrew

    Hi there, The x4 measurement refers to the stem circumference. The difference between the two measurements is not that much. if you had a 50cm diameter tree then the root protection radius, which is used to work out the area would be 6m. The Njug calculation would give a radius of 6.28m Not much difference really. The measurement should be taken at chect height or base for multi-stemmed trees. correct me if i am wrong guys:001_smile: I dont mind. Cheers Andrew

    This is a difficult issue. I think the best solution to protect all trees would be to ban law suits involving them. Its just another example of the nanny state within Britain. If we want trees growing around us we should accept that they are not 100% safe.

    Hello everyone, I think everyone will agree, that for thoses starting out, the different groups of conifers can look frustratingly similar. I would like it if people could offer up their tips and tricks which helped them remember how to tell the difference between pines or spruce or fir's for exams. I think we will be amazed by the ingenuity and bizare methods that people came up with over the years and have never got the chance to share. For example when I was at university and trying to remember scientific names for trees I would come up with weird images. Lodegpole Pine (Pinus contorta). I imagined a native american tipi with a sexy naked indian girl contorting and sliding up and down the lodgepole. I dont mean to be rude, but the more graphic the better your primitive brain will be at remembering it. I made that one up 12 years ago and have never forgot it strangly:blushing: Ok lets hear some of yours. Andrew

    If no-one is going near it, then I would let it runs it own course for a few years.
