Thats kind of what I was thinking, I was thinking the treatment was affecting the roots but I suppose you could get wind drift of sprayed treatments.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Guys
Been looking at this Yew which is brown on one side (towards the house and lawn)
He has the lawn treated annual and has done for some years. A professional company do this, not sure what they use.
Nothing else has changed, no ground works nearby and browning seams to match the lawn area (branches over the borders are green). He has a dog, but don't think that is the problem here.
Any ideas? Do you think irrigation may help?

Thanks for the ideas guys. The trees are in the West Midlands, in a rear garden so do think it would be salt
Had been reading the RHS website and it mentions Pestalotiopsis dieback. Anyone come across this?
I had thought about drought/water logging. The other tree (same size and species) is doing much better and only 6ft away

Hi Guys
Been asked to look at two conifers, one looks healthy at a distance but some of the tips are brown. The other one is brown all over, not dead but not great.
Client said she thinks it has happened suddenly, within two weeks.
Was thinking cypress aphid but i thought that symptoms spread over the tree, not the whole tree at once?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Rich

it would be wise, it is clear by the bark changes high in the canopy this was topped about say 30 years ago
Yes, looks like it's been pollarded a long time ago. There is a lot of Epicormic growth around the whole tree. It has a tpo so let's see what he says.
Thanks again

Judging by the host and the location on the tree I would say a desicated L. sulphurous. Chicken of the woods:thumbup1:
Thanks Warren
That's what I thought, but wasn't sure because. Best get it down/reduced then.

Two Rope Working Consultation
in Climbers talk
Posted
Just as a bit of background, I've been climbing trees for 10 years and I have some limited experience in rope access and did have my IRATA level 1 but didn't really use it. I've also been a rock climber for 25 years.
I've skimmed the posts above and I think they are all goog points but I'd like to mention a few things that differentiates arb from rope access (where 2 rope are usually used) that I dont think have been mentioned.
I believe the whole system, from anchor points to ropes, in rope access should be set up by a level 3 IRATA guy who will have passed 3 different IRATA levels and have at least 3000 hours on rope experience. The level 3 is usually there to supervise the operation and effect a rescue while level 1 and 2 operatives do the work. At least that is the ideology, I'm sure it doesn't happen all the time.
I don't think it's really practical to have a more experienced climber inspect the anchor point in a tree and be around just in case while the 'less experienced' guy does the climbing.
But more importantly, industrial rope access is usually a one dimensional process, sometimes two dimensional. The operative usually works from top to bottom (getting the stairs or lift to the top) but the motion is usually up and down with some limited left to right movement. If a large move to the left is required the rope (and anchor point) is usually moved.
My point being it's a vertical process that is highly suited to having a working line in the middle and a backup to the left or the right. It's easy to set up, manage and maintain order.
Where as in tree work we move up, down, left, right, forward and back. We duck over, under and through limbs and we twist and turn. It's a very 3D process and ropes can easily get tangled. This is obviously less suited to having a working line and a backup line next to each other. We also get into positions above and equal to the anchor point which would not happen in industrial rope access
Unless carefully managed two ropes in a tree would quickly tangle and would contribute to operator fatigue. In the worst case, should an accident happen when the ropes are tangled a speedy decent via:
a) ddrt - could result in rope on rope friction that could cause failure of either or both lines
b) srt - could slow down a decent if the ropes are tangled below the point of the climber.
