    Found on mature oak tucked in ivy at about 2.5-3m high. Crown dieback to accompany it. Inonotus dryadeus possibly?

    I did my chipper ticket there. It was colder than the north pole. I'm not even exaggerating. That place makes its own rules when it comes to climate.

    Just found out I passed. If Derek can get me through, he's worth his weight in gold. Get on it!

    Hello! I'm doing a piece of coursework at the moment which is requiring me to provide a report condemning an avenue of limes. While writing this, I've found myself asking how much it costs, on average, to prune on 3 yearly cycles. I have not priced stuff like this before and I don't want to start a big arguement about too cheap/too expensive etc. But does anyone have a rough idea on how much Richmond would be billed per tree for some fellas like this: I am kind of thinking somewhere between £150-200 per lime, per 3 years. This isn't even critical to the report but it's got me thinking. Many thanks for your help!

    Did it there last week. Instructor, Derek was good. It was very in depth and I don't have the level 3 qualification they wanted as a pre-requisite. But, I'm doing the level 4 at the mo and the lessons I've had so far were directly related to the course, i.e. tree mechanics. If I wasn't doing that I would have been massively out of my depth. I haven't had my results yet; it could go either way. If I don't pass though, I know now what to expect. Loads of coffee/biscuits. Quality biscuits too.

    Feel free to pass on the locations of P. cyanescens so that I, I mean a friend, can help errrr eradicate them from the New Forest.

    Ash dieback fungus

    APC replied to baz's topic in Firewood forum

    main problems aside from biodiversity ones are potential for restrictions of movements of timber, and orders to cut and burn all ash on site in affected areas. As a woodland manager that gets majority of income outside of grant fundings from firewood, that would hit the hell out of our business model. But hopefully won't come to that.

    Well thought out and total faith in skill of your coworkers. That's the way it should be.

    really?????

    Been looking at getting another pruning saw but really can't be bothered paying £40 for a Silky. Are there any cheaper alternatives? It doesn't have to do a fine cut, more for general use.

    Bit of deadwood in lower branches. Few woodpecker holes. Not in the greatest of states. Been advised to keep tabs on dead branches. Interested in getting some sort of technical report on the interior condition.

    Growing on a Sequoia. 3rd year I've noticed it. Gymnopilus junonius, possibly.

    If Havant isn't too far, Chris Bain might be able to help you out.

    Problem I have is that their area is miles from H block so I don't get to perve. But if you're saying they're all rough then perhaps that's for the better. My old college was bang on for horsey girls. Although they all had teeth like tombstones. (disclaimer: I am no oil painting myself).

    My wife tells me off for saying "where's that to?" wish she'd accept it's proper English! The tree is in a Regency era parkland/gardens in Havant. All open to the public.

    Enjoying it a lot. Last week I felt totally out of my depth, cracked on with some coursework and read some stuff and things made sense today. Was chuffed.
