    Yep, bug and fly heaven so it is .

    I wouldn't be too sure about that...........but no, not squamosus. Think easier .

    Yes and no, we have an ongoing program of works around the landscape veterans, (oaks and wild service mainly) but no written management plan for planting replacements and pollarding existing younger trees. That work is more adhoc. A challenge to sustainably manage the future of tree populations on a site where grassland and heathland management is the focus. More to the point, what's the fungi on post 193 then .
  4. David Humphries
    Relatively scarce but at least half a dozen or so sites for it at Hampstead. Mainly associated with oak there, but also lime and hornbeam. .

    about bleedin time ! Great to see them out of leaf, such a fine collection of impressive trees.. Is that the silver leaf lime behind the church? If so. I hadn't realised it had so much mistletoe in it ! great shots mate .

    I think a (growing) number of TO's would see a naturally damaged stub or a fractured/coronetted one as a positive part of the aesthetics of a mature tree and not as a risk. Context is usually the key, although these images are all from an open space, they're all visible by adjoining private residences and highways. Interpretation and interaction with the local public is often useful for paving the way to a better understanding of trees and their natural place amongst us. .

    Mike was brilliant, by far the most enjoyable presentation of the day ! .

    Yeah, sorry about that. I've put together the same vid (especially for you, but don't watch it if you happen to be in Germany ) with some different music, its nothing special to be honest Guy just images of reducing a pine canopy. Could be debated that it's fairly heavy but the lean and asymetrical crown warranted a significant wind load reduction if it was going to be maintained. [ame] [/ame] .

    An interesting read .

    Fine set of gravitropic Fomes from the Bialowieza forest.... .
  21. David Humphries
    I think I agree with this view point Ed, certainly from the observational perspective of seeing replacement trees often fail, due to poor maintenance, neglect or propensity for failing to even materialise in the first instance. Keeping the mature urban canopy intact until there's a more full proof system in place is where we need to currently be, is my opinion also. .

    Signed it yesterday, encouraging to see it promoted and backed by the industry here at Arbtalk Good thread .

    We often get members of the public demanding to know why we let ivy kill the trees on the Heath. They know friends who are you 'experts' who tell them that ivy is pure evil and prays on poor trees and will ultimately be the successional species in woodlands I don't know the answer to that but it i can appreciate the biodiversity that it helps to support. We sever Ivy on road side trees to aid inspection and on dead path/roadside elm regeneration as the weight and sail often results in wind throw, but let it do its thing elsewhere. Andy Cowan started an interesting thread on the subject some years back........ http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/3875-climate-change-increasing-growth-ivy.html .
