Just browsing the net and found similar photos relating to an earlier arbtalk thread called mystery yew fungus...the appearance from the photographs and the description of the fungi from the arbtalker who posted relates strongly with my own recollections, however i am no expert in the identification of fungi , this is an area however that has dramatically improved since i have been on this forum . thanks for passing on your wisdom guys.
-
Thanks Tony. I appreciate your knowledge Dave
-
May have found the id? the nearest fit i can find is Inonotus obliquus but it is usually found on birch , can anyone confirm or not?
-
Just been trying to find out what this is over dinner...suddenly wondered if the black exudate may be unrelated to the fruiting body...could this be phytophthora? as many trees exibit a similar flux from wounds?
-
Just interested to know what size of tree you guys are talking about, surely there is a finite size a bareroot tree can be as far as lifting and reinstating is concerned?
-
That had me for a few seconds...i was thinking canis...that's a dog isn't it, ah the penny drops...no it wasn't a dog egg, and it appears unlike photos of the fungi Tony suggested , however the fruiting body was old and a bit manky?
-
Can anyone identify this fungi i found going on the base of a Taxus last week ? In the first photograph i pulled off the fruiting body and put it on the top of the stem to see the cross sectional area, it was very spongy to the touch almost like moss. the other photos are close ups of the branch ends which all had a crusty appearance.

When i was in my early 20's i was at an rta where a lombardy pop had swashed a woman in a car...seeing that brought it all back ......bloody terrifying...boy was she lucky??

Amen to that, never thought i'd be a dad but in the words of my boy "your my best buddy daddy" you cant buy that for any amount of money

Gotta be a niche market I guess...would love to see Iceland,enjoy your holiday matey:thumbup: Dave

Ok so i should have carried on reading ...the FC also states that on a PAWS site an important veteran tree could be called a wolf, but would be important to retain:blushing:
-
I know this post is a bit old but just having a look through a forestry commision guide and it describes wolves as "Dominant trees with exceptionally poor form that can outgrow and damage their neighbours" so that wraps that up...well as far as the stance of the FC?
-
Hi folks, sorry but going to be a bit cheeky:blushing: i'm on the cadge for an electronic version of the forestry commissions operational guide on thinning, dont suppose any one has such a thing?? kindest regards Dave

When i dont know the answer it drives me spare

Think I may have the answer ..as discovered on another forum? "The reason for this is that teufelberger doesn't endorse the use, of any product, unless that it is in a certified system or product?" http://www.teufelberger.com/uploads/...lder_E_web.pdf

Ok i'm being thick again...just looking at hitch cords and found that ocean polyester at 8mm is ppe certified and 10mm is not. Also states that the cord should not be used to secure persons or for hoisting purposes, in complience with the european directive 2006/42/ec ...can somebody help get my addled brain around what this means? a captured bolt gun may be of use here:lol: regards Dave

Thanks Paul, Thats another thing i've learnt today regards Dave

Hi Openboater Hang from one side...no thanks... was having a discussion with relation to the images of climbers hanging beneath limbs attached by their d's in the AA's guide to good climbing practice, some of my guys were asking why its seen as unsuitable?
-
Ok this may be a stupid question are there any harnesses currently available which have fully rated side d's (ie would allow for a primary attachment) as i understood it its only the main bridge pelvic attachment that is rated in the event of a fall?? regards Dave

Whilst hedge planting yesterday we discovered a longhorn beetle larvae in the centre of one of the bamboo canes we were using to stablise sprials. after doing a bit of web trawling i found the attached pdf file. has anyone come across this species before and more importantly what should be done about it if anything?? CAPS-1.pdf regards Dave

Hi folks, Just doing a spot of research for one of my learners who wants to progress in this sector but is finding balancing learning with home commitments difficult. Im just intrested to know if any members of the forum have had the luck to have been able to recieve a bursary or sponsorship which has allowed them to continue study? I would be very grateful to anyone who may be able to provide any guidance or pointers which could help his situation. regards Dave

Thanks guys your comments are very much appreciated Dave

Silly question time again i'm curious of how people comply with the forestry commision 5 cubic meter restriction per quarter on timber removal. My current understanding is to guesstimate the gross volume of each tree to establish when i would exceed the felling allowance and thus need to apply for a felling licence. However if i calculated volume on the form height only should the resultant unmarketed lateral branches and brash be included in the felling volume estimation or not? Sorry the question is a bit convoluted regards Dave:thumbup:
-
i'm guessing thinning depends on the woodlands yield class, and that has to be established over a number of years?
