    Does anyone know of list of typical tree root growth habits for different species? Thanks in advance, Kev
  2. sloth
    Now that's a proper yew tree!

    Appalling, but not surprising. The law is a joke!

    Any ideas??

    Interesting its so far from the stem, looks a fair sized tree with a hefty lean. Certainly worthy of further inspection if its likely to flatten the house should the roots let go. The brown rotted roots, depending on extent of decay, will have lost some, or maybe lots, of their tensile strength.

    Just to be nosey, what's everyone up to over the long weekend? I've had odd jobs about the house today, tree survey on a builder damaged maple tomorrow, and lunch at the inlaws Monday. Oddly looking forward to all of it!

    I'm slightly confused (easily done!), is the fungi attached to the ground in the pic, or just found laying loose at the base of the tree?

    You lucky, lucky son of *****! Hope you have a great time and keep us all updated

    A fantastic carving indeed, the pic doesn't show the size of it, its huge!

    Looks a real good deal. If I had more space and time I'd love to have it. I regret selling my lathe years ago, but a house move meant no space. Oh well there's always the future, one day...

    Wow, really living up to its name there! Thanks for sharing...

    Chicken of the woods on oak, won't cause die back. It only decays the inner heart wood, so the water conducting vessels nourishing the roots and shoots are unaffected and still working. It sometimes causes failures of live scaffold branches around that height as the holding wood is brown rotted. A kind of natural pollard in oak caused by fungi, allowing a new crown to form lower down on a stout strong hollow bole, full of nutrient rich decayed wood to feed the aging tree

    Looking at it I'd have thought £80-100 is fair. I'd have thought up to a fiver per hook, 20 ish for the wood and then a couple hours standing, oiling and fitting hooks. I'd imagine that, especially with matching key hooks, pan hangers, orchid/flower hanging brackets, light switch surrounds etc would sell for good money if you got samples to a posh interior designer or ideal home show type of thing. A mate of mine sells handmade/bespoke house names and numbers in clay with enamel at the ideal home show, around 50-100 quid, and mostly done from existing templates!

    Where's the tow hitch?

    Don't think I'd be standing filming that, running like a little girl in the other direction more like! :eek:

    Looks incredible, going on the places to visit list! I don't think I need to wish you and the family a nice time, mother nature has sorted that out for you
  17. sloth
    Yep, wholesome foods, not reformed 'meat' pumped full of preservatives and flavour enhancers. Just like drinking when thirsty, sleeping when tired and going to the loo when nature calls. It's instinctive, not calorie-rocket science!

    Hispidus on the sorbus, always a fine looking bracket. Is that yew in east Anglia somewhere David? Looks a wonderful location...
  19. sloth
    Cheers for the recommendation Geoff. It is a bit far, but willing to travel if you don't find someone closer.
  20. sloth
    Wow! What a tree
  21. sloth
    Silver birch stump won't regrow, so that's easy. Other stumps may, depending on species. If so, being a.sssi wouldn't EN specify what, if any, stump treatment? A small pile of woodchip a foot deep might be enough, or carefully grinding?

    It's all a bit vague, but I did look into this recently. As far I could tell from the .gov site (which is a nightmare) if tree work is in best arb practice, ie deadwooding, thinning, felling for safety etc you're clear. Fencing solely for tree protection, as per the TPP, is also exempt. Felling/pruning for access or building, or fencing which will be part of the completed development, is included. Hope this helps...

    Meripilus giganteus. Generally sets alarm bells ringing on beech in busy areas...
  24. sloth
    Granny stopper is about right... top marks for the rest so far though Good thread
  25. sloth
    No CA, avoid TPO'd trees, consider felling licensing, then crack on...
