I have a feeling you need AutoCAD too. Though it's a while since I looked into it... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

I have an old cookery book says you must add cold water to mustard powder and wait at least 10-15 minutes before eating. And to add any salt/vinegar after this time to avoid a reaction that causes a bitter flavour, also to wait before adding to mayo. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Sorry I'm no help to your question, but is that a kingfisher on the trunk? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Is it by any chance the same as the form on p.363 & 364 Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment and Management? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Good effort, but the question I find myself asking is, natural fracture or very good coronet cut? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Please do. Is it the same tree? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

I generally stand where I think the tips would just get me if it were felled, then pace/measure to the trunk. Works for me! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

In my experience, neither is a substitute for getting in them and hopping from one to the next. Quicker and easier, or if there isn't much to stand on then a ladder leaned into them works well. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Found this furry feller on me beetroot earlier. I'm thinking Phragmatobia fuliginosa (Ruby Tiger) after some searching. An unusually early time of year, or not? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Just had a look at the poll questions on a proper 'puter- they don't really apply to me now, but for what it's worth an old boss had one nearly ten years ago and it was used regularly. In more recent years I've used them on dodgy trees, or if it increases efficiency- lifting avenues of large street trees with rolling roadworks for example. Generally I'd prefer to climb though Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app

Other alternatives to total removal.
sloth replied to Jim Hepburn's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
To echo what I said via pm- I dryadeus on our native oak is generally no big deal, very rarely a cause for felling. In this situation a half day price for a survey and report from a suitably insured local surveyor would... 1. defer liability in the event of tree failure 2. quite possibly recommend no/minimal work to the tree = cheaper than felling, along with other benefits such as habitat retention/amenity value etc from a tree the size of which could not be replaced in our lifetimes. 3. not include picus or other advanced decay detection; although this is very unlikely to be needed. A simple nylon mallet and an experienced ear would do! Maybe someone from your neck of the woods on this forum could recommend a surveyor or help you? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Arbtalk mobile app
