Just trying to get my head around the subject of wolf trees:blushing:it would seem (to me) that large quick growing trees are ideal for producing forestry stands with permanent cover in mind? However they reduce the quality of other smaller trees which share their habitat ? My question is, does modern forestry practice require the removal or retention of such specimens? I would welcome any comments that may help me get my weakened brain around this regards Dave:001_cool:

Morning folks...just reading through Sherril tree's lockjack instruction manual and it states that class 2 protective gloves are to be used when operating the device? is this a misprint? do they mean cat 2 gloves? can you actually purchase class 2 gloves? sorry so many questions, so little time. regards Dave

Best and Fastest conifer tree to plant to make forest
elicokiz replied to Ted_165's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I was told (by good authority) that x Cuprocyparis leylandii could have the higest yield class of any species but the foerestry commision would be unwilling to plant it due to public outcry?....any comments? -
That is an excellent idea .....has it been proven? how do conifers survive decimation when they grow in frozen soil high on mountain sides...just being curious Dave

ok being completley honest here, does the pre-set tie strap usually come complete with ramp? is the chain identified in the photograph new if not how much ware would you say it has? (50% +)? , as i say honest questions as i do not use said type of chain and i'm curious. regards Dave
-
Yes Skyhuck i can, but the chain has been sharpened due to the wideness of the gullet and as you know the top plate slopes backwards so a depth gauge set to low originally may have caused damage? reading others posts does allow me to reflect on what i originally posted ...i was under the impression that if a chain is lose and the depth gauge setting too low then the heal has a tendency to dig into the rails as the working corner enters the kerf? I realise a slack chain would cause more damage at the toe of the link as momentum would cause the chain to cut in at the bottom of the bar nose. oh well you live and learn...well you live anyway regards Dave:thumbup:
-
looks like youve been running your chain too slack or youve taken too much down on your depth gauges ...the heels on all the links you can see in the photograph are all warn down, only a mater of time imo until the remaining metal fractures. you where very lucky not to throw a chain my friend?

Try an alcohol based hand wash similar to those you see on hospital wards...works a treat without removing the upper dermis..if you cant get the resin off at least you can have a quick swig to cheer you up?

i think you will find that the college follows the same city and guilds sylabus; as does every other landbased college which has to comply with the same specifications,ofsted ect.

Thanks Paul, thats just the job.

Hi Folks Just wondered what the most commonly used form of root stop barrier used by the industry is these days? I understand the Americans have carried out trials with copper mesh but round my neck of the woods it would probably get dug up and sold to the scrappy??:lol:any information would be deeply appreciated regards Dave:thumbup:

Think i'm going to have to bager the boss to get some of that safe t cut explosive...you guys up to the challenge....or we could rig something from engineering and use their oxy bottles:thumbup:

Nearest bail out tree would produce an adrenalin based rush to say the least ..forget red bull giving you wings? ...this needs explosives??:lol:

you'd need balls of iron to stand up and step cut that surely...where would you attach yourself if the hanger decided it was going to send you for a earthward trip???:001_smile:
-
Thanks Tommy, i'm liking that idea :thumbup:do you think using the remaining spire for the pulley attachments would be a viable option? Dave
-
Thanks David, we got one of the guys up one of the ajoining trees to get a high attachment point for that specific purpose, however there is a large fork on the left hand side of the hung spire which completely locks into the canopy of the supporting tree.we thought partial removal of the very top of the hanger may be an option but I am rather hesitant to allow climbers to remove sections from within the crown without securing the damaged hanger which is about 1m diameter at the base. regards Dave

Cut the fruit in half to try and identify the number of seeds...i.e is the fruit a pome or drupe?..that will help to narrow it down?
-
could be the cultivar 'Moravica'
-
Came across this Acer partial collapse today; whilst discussing the safest way to remove the hung spire thought it would be intresting to ask you guys what your strategy for removal would be....we thought about c4 but where unable to source any ......the tree is situated in a woodland edge and has clear signs of considerable basal decay, the supporting tree is showing signs of partial root plate failure as well as considerable compressive forces within the canopy... any comments?

Thanks for your reply David ...thats tied it up for me...cracking photos too. regards Dave
