    FYI DED control zone is the Dutch elm disease control zone in Sussex. It's quite rare to see trees like this standing alone as DED normally gets them by the time they are over a certain size. Sorry :-D was being a bit Sussex. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Even in the heart of the DeD control zone. I've found huge wild elms. Must be a case that the zombie beetles never sniffed em. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    I would say Elm, when buds burst it can be misleading. Flowers and bark look right though. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

    He is a wise man, very helpful, We've used him several times however this is the first assesment I have commissioned on behalf of a client. I consider it a small win as generally many clients wouldn't take such steps. I'll upload it In a bit (just finishing an assignment for online Bsc) so shouldn't be on AT B-) I'll be in trouble with he the missus. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    As an update to this, in the end with careful consideration the client has opted to carry out decay detection. I commissioned Harraway trees to carry out an assessment. Which has helped to outline remedial work of a suitable extent. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    There are other threads discussing camera mounts and head cams. Wen I get a second I'll search and post a link for you. :-D Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    The best tree ID books I own are from the times before photography. A good book will give drawings detailing all identification characteristics e.g flower, bark, bud, fruit, overall form. They tend to have better descriptions too. If your after forestry you should certainly be competent in identifying the 32 native trees as well as common forest tree planted in your region. Oh and they all came from charity shops. :-) you have to dig but all the best books were owned by old folk. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Im willing to bet that there was a bit of root fuckery going on combined with the radiation reflected from walls (it hasnt been exactly hot in Eastbourne, assuming its more UV that damages). Ill let them know that there isnt really allot that could be done short of rolling up the astro and decompaction then banishing the kids from their "rain forest" Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    If it was poisoning ir change in PH, would the leaf die back be from leaf margins or from the veins working outward? The pictures seem more like reflected heat damage. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Thanks for this Sloth. Ill put these points to the client. Cheers Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Dammit thats wise, didtn spot that! I also didn't mention that the chery laurel next door is showing similar signs! Could the concrete base have poisoned the tree? Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Oops - also there is some exudate? Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Sounds more sinister than it is. I have a client with several Portugal laurels, they appear to be dropping leaves and leaves are dying back from edges. I've included photos for perusal. My thoughts are that compaction caused by children playing could be causing the dieback and the leaf edge die back is either symptomatic of the compacting or the soil has panned or been poached causing waterlogging. The site is a playground amongst a heavily urbanised area. Your thoughts on this always much appreciated. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Thank you Paul, Tony for concise confirmation concerning the content of captured images. :-D Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Found this on a grand Beech I was staring at today. Is it evidence of Crytococcus fagisuga? I can see any little dudes. Just fuzz? Cheers Sent from my GT-I9295 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Here are the missing photos from the mystery fruit body. Hopefully this will satisfy David :-D Manage to pay another visit to do some bits and sampled again. Possibly it is Perenniporia fraxinea panicked fruiting Sent from my Nexus 7 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Please note: I can't edit this post anymore the link is wrong obviously because the Americans spell it differently this is the site you want to use http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/

    The next battle would be suitable Android hardware. Probably shouldn't get into that here as it would be endless. However I use an old Nexus 7 with an Otterbox for for semi-waterproof rugged tablet action. I'm still not comfortable walking around with a tablet. Feel like a bit of a twit. Plus in some places where trees are used for dog fighting training you might get mugged.

    Not so jack, if you see my previous post a bit of Excel cunning and I Re formatted the output from one cell with two values, to two cells with one value in each. I did this for 120 trees in 2mins. Excel has a function to split cells with multiple values into single cells. You do this by telling excel what symbol separates them, (in this case a colon), then it does the rest. Use http://www.gpsvisualiser.com to upload your formatted csv with the columns, Tree no. Latitude and longitude. Gps visualiser will then spit out a kml or KMZ file with your points. Easy. There is guidance on Google for cell value splitting and gps visualiser is stuffed with guidance on how to use.
