  1. This looks like a secondary infection. original problem was caused by Erisoma lanigerum. weakening the cambium layer. Agree with Polyporus but Species not so sure depends on the amount of dead wood. looking at the one year growth I would guess that the picture was taken around. August bank holiday
  2. That's next to West Malling golf course. meristem disorder
  3. Who would pour honey on a tree, just outrageous Could be maple syrup On a serious note I have seen decay like this on lime that have evidence of Ustulina deusta.(Waiting for the correction.)
  4. Get as much info on different chains as possible. Stihl/Oregon/Windsor/Carlton/Sarp
  5. Now that's going to muck my little game. seeing who can reply to fungi id's the quickest.
  6. I think this clearly points out what some of us are trying to say. Good find
  7. No problem. was going to anyway will post once done. I will count the rings and measure the stem circumference
  8. This is dryadeus, still quite a bit of mycelium. But there is more of a uniform failure
  9. Hello Tony. I agree with armillaria. There may be something else. By the way do you have a special alert to tree health threads. can't believe the speed of the response
  10. This oak went over today. any views on the cause, it did have Inonotus Dryadeus a few years ago.
  11. Of course you can PM address
  12. PM me your postal address, I have some old NPTC qualified workforce window stickers, how many do you want ?
  13. The only thing I can suggest is contact who you did your Lantra course with and see if they can fit you in on an assessment day,
  14. It's quite common to have fuel mix showing on the air filter. one cause is prolonged ticking over.
  15. Hello Fungus, I took the picture last year and it was in a customer's garden. I will try and get permission to return and take samples.
  16. So does your Public liability cover you for using a chainsaw without certification. If so let us know who your insurance company is it may help a lot of people who are just getting started.
  17. There you go Ganoderma on Eucalyptus
  18. oh no you can't On a serious note, Write out a disclaimer for the land owner to sign. Stating that you have no formal qualifications for chainsaw and they are happy for you to carry on. Or phone the citizen's advice and see what they say. This will be better than saying that some one that you don't know on the internet said it's ok
  19. Read on Don't forget the suggested readings Good for insomnia By the way I'm a contractor as well
  20. Page 1, paragraph 2, line 3 http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag805.pdf Also reg 9 PUWER 98 http://www.quadsafety.org/downloads_temp/e5398d11-7ab0-4f45-b553-fbac4a2a9d34_Imported_File.PDF There are more guides and regulations that apply. If you want to sit and read them all It can be a minefield and it's down to your translation, they kneed to be read more than once and cross referenced, if you don't loose the will to live, Happy reading It is difficult pinpointing a specific regulation. We all know it is illegal to shoot some one. where can you find the official law that states that. I bet some one will
  21. Being a training provider has nothing to do with it. I will look out the legislation for you later.
