You know you're addicted when you come back even after taking a pasting:001_tt2: -
Equally- propagation to increase populations of resistant trees may if conducted vegetatively or microprop(same thing really) will lead to genetically identical stock which may fall to a future pathogen(as yet unknown) though be fantastically resistant to DED So.. how do we build resistant stocks with a diverse gene pool Or do we just let nature get on with it-= this I favour:thumbup: Is Brighton council making a mistake trying to preserve a failing species?

If you look closely at the picture you will see there is a good lean on a large section of that wall. Probably will need rebuilding. Trees v. property/people- theres a debate. That'll never end. Good thing is 30 years down the line everything changes and tree lovers often enhance the environment by planting and the balance is restored.

Thats heartening news-and I hadn't considered vegetative propogation as a reason that whole populations go down- so seed is a source of biodiversity. Now we have micropropagation techniques- this may lead to further population crashes(all same genetic stock) So our diversity is our strength-mmmmm

Have been asked to look at a 35 year old elm (twisted) today that they think has DED. In sussex My thoughts were really how decimated is the elm population- there are none round here although I know Brighton has a few- control zone. Is there anywhere that elms are thriving naturally?

whilst using a blower today I stopped to let a woman go past and didn't have a go at her even though she was doing the waving the dust away thing with her hands:001_tt2:

Urea to encourage breakdown I find in all cases where someone with little knowledge starts on us- whatever we say just sounds like excuses. Nowadays I feel more inclined to impolitely tell them they know nothing:thumbup1:
-
seriously though- it's one of those cases where your neighbours(the whole street) are going to probably complain when you remove it as it's a local asset. But I believe you should judging from the picture and what the eventual height would be.I suspect the tree is about 40 years old max. Personally something with red leaves would be wrong- I like the sound of amelanchier.

Just heard the government is scrapping 142 of the 150 pages of school H&S stuff so thats good news. Parents who kick off when little johnny gets a scratch or breaks a bone are just the scum of the earth adding costs to our childrens education and removing oportunities. Other than javelin /shot/discus throwing- how dangerous can a sports day be

arbtalk- for great cooking recipes:lol: -
we get our electric from british gas crazy:001_smile:

Try advertising pop and pine as firewood Doubt you'd get any takers if money was involved. Just go quiet on the customer and see if they keep nagging You'll know then if your price is near the mark Sounds like they are using classic techniques to drive your price down:thumbdown:

do we blame the parents yes..... kids need danger:thumbup:

or use the used sloes for raisins in flapjacks -
I know someone who told me that they spoke to someone that saw someone who once had an issue with H&S what a load of c++p

can you trust anyone:001_tt2:

whats the crop they are growing in i saw this taday and didn't recognise it
-
the times customers have instructed me to top their trees aaaargh

perchance - is that her??

It's not business like to increase the price during the job unless there are unforseens. Before the job starts you can do what you like. Shops don't have to sell you the product at the advertised price if they choose not to. The contract is only valid at the sale

I say each job on its merit As someone said- people do like watching us- all ripply muscles and man fat sweaty bodies- it's almost pornographic- maybe we should work nights
