  1. In addition to the oaks grey (and black) squirrels break off the ends of elm branches too.
  2. Could it be the fungus Taphrina pruni ?
  3. Perhaps caused by methane escaping from the bottom of the lake? I must admit I have not seen it looking quite like that.
  4. Can't help with BC. But if you already have a Canadian passport you could take a holiday for a few weeks and hit the local tree companies.
  5. Maybe formed by root rot nematodes.
  6. J, A fine tribute for a faithfull companion.
  7. Should have added that rhs.uk.org has a article about it. Worth a read.
  8. It's called faciation (hope I spelled it correctly) I usually see it on lilacs
  9. RIP Norm Macdonald. Watch him (You tube) telling the Moth Joke on Conan O'Brien. 👍
  10. I also gave up due to carrot fly. However this year I grew carrots alongside a couple rows of garlic and had no problems with carrot fly. Nice crop gary112!👍
  11. Same thing happened to me; rather a expensive indulgence over here but boy are they comfortable. The dogs think so too.
  12. Nice to see some spoon carving photos; "letting the wood talk" - good job![emoji106]
  13. Sorry to derail the thread RCO but it was the first thing that came to mind. I remember a recording were he talked about blowing up a row of trees.
  14. Anyone else remember Derek Macintosh Bates aka Blaster Bates?
  15. Imidacloroprid is a neonicotinoid and has been, I believe, banned in Europe due to its evidently detrimental effects on pollinators. I have no idea how you would apply it (72% sounds worrisome to me); perhaps you could ask your tree farm supplier.
  16. I thought this would be all sewn up by now.
  17. spudulike is your go to guy. Check out his thread What's on my bench. He worked on my 350 several years ago and it's still going strong. Bob
  18. Pay rate will vary depending on your location. But this might give you an idea: The average Arborist salary in Canada is $50,980 per year or $26 per hour. This is around 1.6 times more than the Median wage of the country. Entry level positions start at $36,000 while most experienced workers make up to $71,000. These results are based on 200 salaries extracted from job descriptions.

  19. Hi, I've only ever seen this once over here and I think it's called hair ice. Rather than me explaining how it is formed the link below leads to an intriguing entry in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_ice Bob
  20. ... and should you want to buy firewood in Canada... "Measurement Canada recommends that the use of the cord as a unit of measurement be discontinued, as it is largely misunderstood and often misused by people selling firewood. For example, some sellers use illegal terms such as "face cord", "stove cord", "apartment cord", "furnace cord" and "short cord" to refer to a quantity smaller than 128 cubic feet. Such terms frequently lead to confusion about the actual quantity of firewood being sold. To avoid any confusion about the amount of firewood purchased or sold, Measurement Canada recommends the use of the stacked cubic metre when purchasing or selling bulk firewood."
