Two years in the stem as Lava. as you said the pupation occurs in the heartwood

Specific to broad leaf. The preferred is sycamore and other acer species. The infected trees that we looked at were mainly sycamore and one willow.

Thank you to WAZ for letting us know about the Forestry Commission meeting in Paddock Wood this week. Just a few picks from the meeting: Pic 1. shows the entry point of the larva. The female lays one egg at this point; when the larva hatches it bores into the tree. Pic 2. shows cracking through the stem, where the larva has bored underneath. Pic 3. shows exit hole of the mature beetle. Pic 4. the larva.

Where are you based ?

We had some thing similar. In the end we just used it as a buck rake. Pushed up the brash didn't bother closing the grab and just lifted it up no problem. The brash does kneed to be laid all the same way.

If your that close to your main anchor point and it's for work position wrap it round twice, not the best remedy. Or use your short strop.

Jeyes Fluid they hate the smell. read instructions first. just in case someone on here doesn't like it.

Why is it annoying ?
-
Then only mark one end all equipment should be individually identifiable. but on the odd occasion the loler inspector can write it down as one only with the description. not recommended.
-
Your rope must be marked at least one end. Keeping that label in your bag is not good enough if there are no other markings on it.

All the used crabs tested failed LOLER inspection, so all natural damage. some of them were from contractors that do a lot of street trees, showing the obvious signs of being dragged along the the hard road/pavement.
-
Easily achievable how? All of my tests were carried out with a peak force meter. loading the crabs as they correctly should be, loading them for 3 mins at 5 kn intervals. New crabs were used as well, all performing as they should. I will post my full recordings later. I see you have posted a new thread regarding old kit, If you send it to me. I will test IT
-
I have done peak force tests on crabs that have been thrown about the tree, 30kn crabs failing between 18 and 4 kn, Not a good idea

What species are they? Bridge graft now, best results come from using young whips grafted in, use a grafting knife. Cut a long strip revealing the cambium, leave the top on the whip, only attach the side of the whip.
