  1. The Shrub End or Ipswich Road one? I did have a quick peep on the council website and the Ipswich rd one is not TPO'd or in a CA, so it is 'ok'. Whether the contractor gave advice or followed owners instructions I dont know. But I reckon they where happier with a 50-60 foot healthy oak tree than a stub ridden 40 foot tall dead stem which will have to come down at some point... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. Wow, fantastic! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  3. Widespread antidepressant use affects more than those taking them. All too easy to say live off the radar and go back to nature; allowing diseases to 'thin' the population to less damaging levels. Survival of the fittest style. However, we really are ruining the earth we live on! I'm sure life will continue regardless but will humans exist in 1, 2, 5 hundred years? The everyday things we all do and rely on have far reaching effects we just don't realise, until the damage is done. Kind of makes you stop and think 'what else are we affecting?' http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2CkvJb/www.nature.com/news/anti-anxiety-drug-found-in-rivers-makes-fish-more-aggressive-1.12434/ Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  5. Glad to hear it Have you seen the big old oak by the Texaco garage on shrub end road lately, or worse yet the, erm, 'habitat stick' by the speed camera top end of ipswich road? :eek: Of course no offence intended to whoever did the work, all to spec I'm sure! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  10. a honey dipper drippy thingy please? I'm sure you'll know what I mean! They're online for a couple of quid but incredibly mass production stylee, even just a slight wobble to the grain would be preferable. How much to make and send to Colchester? PM if you prefer. Ta very much, Kev Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. I see no pictures? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  12. A little Kretz on the remaining two stems of a once multi stemmed sycamore. Zone lines showing in the rotten chunk pulled out from the cavity. The other stems already failed in years gone by, these two remain with some major decay, and are now due for the chop. Any stump pics of the decay will of course follow if I get a chance...

  13. Missed a great photo earlier as I was in a rush. Hedgerow and wire fence on the outside of a bend in the road, large puddle and lots of cars = many, many tiny icicles... oh well, next time Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. Maybe pollard it where it has been cut before, or a bit lower. Firewood now and again each time its re-cut. Re the gutter a mesh over the top works ok... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
