Out of curiosity, sorry to derail the thread slightly, but are pollard knuckles in the same league as more natural burls? As in, are they as dense or interesting? Got a few maple knuckles, can't remember if it was Norway or field, and wondering if I should try something with them.

Thanks guys. I will get in touch soon Alec.

So I will be buying a chainsaw mill soon and want to know a few things before hand. Where do you get your pieces of wood to separate the planks for drying? Are they called stickers? What do you coat the ends of the planks with to stop splitting? One last one which I asked at Alaskan Mills UK but Rob is/was on holiday and I just want to make sure: Can you fit a 48" mill on a 42" bar without any problems? I assume the bar attachment bits can be adjusted. I only have a 660 now but don't want to have to buy another mill when I get a bigger saw. Thank you

Anyone going to this? I am. Would be nice to say hello, meet someone from Arbtalk, have a pint afterwards perhaps... 07923331962

I just found this stuff as I have the same problem on my nectarine tree. Hopefully it works. PEACH LEAF CURL ORGANIC FUNGICIDE, WORM CASTINGS CONCENTRATE FOR LEAF CURL | eBay

'The Tree' by Colin Tudge is quite interesting though not about tree physiology rather more about their history, different types etc...
-
Haha cheers! Sounds like you had a rough time with that. I will stick with learning QGIS at the moment
-
Anyone use this? Looks promising but looking at other aspects of surveying at the moment so not much time to look into this...

are there woody cones on the tree or on the ground? around 3 cms long and 2 wide...

Deciduous just emerging, what is it?

Thanks! I have put it down as Prunus species... -
So what are they? Wish I could help...
-
Can you please tell me what this is? Thought I would find out with various books and keys but no luck so far... I thought it might be Saliceae as it has mistletoe plants on it but it is hard like a cherry/hawthorn. Some sort of prunus? Last 3 pictures are one week later... Not going back to site so can't update further. Thank you

Your thoughts on this beech please

Updated pictures. Sorry they are sideways; saved them to hard disk, righted them and then uploaded camera files instead of files on hard disk... Second pic it is tree on left and on fourth it is on right. Thinking of recommending airspading and monitoring... -
Hi cheers for that! I have managed to convert the file into dfx, though I have no idea how good the convert is. I just don't know how to use QGIS yet... when I add a vector layer in QGIS it does the above green circles... I am going to give it another go in a bit. If I keep hitting dead ends, I will happily send you the file. Thanks
-
Please let me know the details when they get finalized and I will be there. Cheers!

I think I need this. I am just now trying to import a DWG file onto QGIS and it is not working. I have converted the DWG with the Teigha file converter but all I get are little green circles laid out on the shape of the land that it is supposed to show....

Sounds like a plan cheers!
-
Cheers 10 bears! Just to clarify: "One simple and cheap option is to plot out your site maps in QGIS (before you get to site), take a clipboard and plot them straight onto your prepared map eg T1, T2, T3 etc. to relate to your data sheet." You mean get the gis/cad ordinance map, print it out and then on site add in the tree locations onto the map?

Cheers for that Guy! And for the new term; sinus(in this application). A bit confused with the IPM recommendations; dry the soil and then aerate it? Is it not better to aerate(air spade) the soil when it is wet? No experience with adding calcium nor cleaning and heating lesions... The lesions are actually dry and clean and there is some callus regrowth. Going back there on Tuesday to do some more trees. I will take some pics of the overall tree and have a second look at it. I don't know how much the owners are willing to have its condition ameliorated but can always ask. -
Phytophtora? Physiologically fine... I have not looked at extension growths yet. Lots of compression forks but pretty normal for beech I think, so... In between a house and a tennis court so either light reduction, nothing at all (inspections every 9 months) or remove, bracing? Another beech right next to it, same age, perfect health. Cheers, Island

How much could you expect to recover doing this? Surely this one is too far gone no?
-
Would this require inputting gps coordinates for the trees in the excel sheet or could I not use a program that picks it up based on where I am? Sorry if it sounds stupid, just trying to piece it together. Cheers

Not really going full into surveying as yet so kind of on the fence about very pricey packages at the moment. Definitely going that route if the other ways seem too complicated.
