Ok a silly question I know, but one that was asked of me, and I struggled to answer the question effectively? i realise there are many ways to use a circular saw blade dependant on which sector of the blade you use but is there a reason why anti clockwise is the chosen direction of travel. feeling dumb again :blushing: Dave

Picea breweriana?
-
Just driven through two which were like scenes from red planet ...the sky was brown for what looked like miles around, a few big branches off and several trees down across roads in the area its blowing a hooly here at the minute.

<p>Hi Martyn</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully we should soon be back on campus with any luck? Hoping to climb at Hackthorn for the next couple of weeks if you fancy a reccy? Tuesdays level 3 and Thursday the 2/5th with level 2's. May have some bird ringing jobs at Hartsholme's heronry in the near future so could do with a good climber. Drop me a text if you have a particular day you would like to join us. also doing some reductions in Willingham woods; and wind blow on Charlie Hoods property so getting about a bit. Hope you are keeping busy, thanks for your post regarding the vertical step cut I will tell you the underlying story when i next see you. stay safe;cheers matey</p>

Fancy trying some of that stuff:lol: I spend many an hour awake with the grey matter on full tilt, usually worse if i've done tons of planning or co-ordination during the day... "a holes" in traffic jams dont do much for my state of mind either, thank goodness i still have enthusiasm at work.
-
Thanks Martyn that clears it up 100% , will drop you a PM tomorrow if i get chance regards Dave:thumbup:
-
with the greatest respect surely thats just a horizontal step cut, not a vertical step cut ....this is why i feel so confused as there seems to be no defined consenus
-
Hi Folks could anyone please confirm what a vertical step cut is?? my understanding is that the process involves placing vertical cuts on a horizontal branch so that material is broken off by flexing the branch left and right; or is this a discription of a stepping down cut [blocking down] on a main stem which is of course vertical?. sorry to ask such a basic question but this was not made clear to me when I carried out my 39 and i want to be certain regards Dave

Same tree in 2009
-
Just done a quick bit of googling [a bit late] and discovered that the tree was planted by the fifth of King Henry VIII's wives, Katherine Howard on a visit to Nocton on 13 October 1541.

I hope this fantastic tree will get a few comments, its located at the site of an ex American military hospital at Nocton Lincolnshire. i'm not sure who owns it but it looks like it could do with some remedial work to protect it from further collapse, it would be a shame to lose it, local rumour has it that it was planted by Henry the eighth...who knows:sneaky2: We did take out a VTA before walking under the tree ...was a bit of a ad hoc visit, also some massive Redwood on site..an arborists paradise

I thought I would share some pictures of the Bowthorpe oak I took last month. It holds the record for being the largest girthed living british oak. Its located at Manthorpe near Bourne Lincolnshire and may have been planted during the time of William the conqueror. I have many more photographs if anyone would like to see more regards Dave

Congratulations ...you cant beat the joy that children bring into your life:thumbup:

Genra spot on but not sure about the species

Thanks Tony but what do you make of the mossy like growth on the stem of the second photograph in my first post?
