Old Mill Tree Care

I also use those round Courant ones. The Stein cube folds itself if there is a puff of breeze in the next county, then it pushes a rod through the webbing after 10 minutes. I've never had a favourite throwline. I hate them all! Especially that "sushi' line. I bought that because I thought it would be twice as good because it's twice as expensive. It's twice as hateful.

The BDB is still my favourite. Why not email Gordon for an envelope full of the spare parts that you need? That's what I've always done.

Same things here for me Pete. The older trees appear to deal with all a bit better. I am always very clear to the clients about the 'guarantee' that the tree may/may not survive. In most cases though, my clients have enough disposable income to 'have a go' but the results have actually nearly always been positive for the tree. (So far).

That's interesting and curious Mark because I'm geographically and climatically not too far away from you. So I have taken care during these years to annually observe dozens of the Ash that i've worked on (circa 40% crown size reductions) and the only ones that failed to survive were the ones that exhibited slightly advanced Chalara infection. This shows me that early (always) and medium (usually) stage infection reacted well enough to endure. Of course they may all die tomorrow but so far so good.

It's been over two years since a post on this thread. Since roughly 2013 I have been reducing Ash trees quite hard and have been finding that the new vigorous growth is resistant to the fungal pathogen, I have had the luxury of monitoring all these dozens of trees. However since summer 2021 I have been taking a more sensitive approach, now only removing the infected wood but taking care to make the pruning cut into the live wood. This so far is working equally as well with out butchering the tree and provoking made reaction growth. experimental trees have shown me that if I only cut to the edge of the infected wood, the infection continues further into the live wood. Makes sense. I'm in south Surrey area FYI. Furthermore, since summer 2023 I started to notice natural recovery anyway in all trees where the infection stage was only mild. So I'm interested in other findings. TIA>

No. It's just north east of the A264 and B2195 roundabout. On the 'Old Crawley Road' road.

When I look at the map (maybe only on the iphone) there is a blue icon showing the location of the tip site. If you click on that it may then show you what they accept (logs, chip) but no contact details.

Several years I tipped at a small site next to a sort of lay-by which was Old Horsham Road. Does anyone know if they still take wood chip?

I can't seem to find contact details for any of the listed tip sites in my area. If I click on the blue location button i get shown the address and nothing else. I have logs and clean chip near Horsham West Sussex tomorrow, Saturday 2nd. Thanks in advance. Al. 07834 414271

Neither. Use a ring spanner and it stays permanently on the Mallion.

I seem to remember a forum on Arbtalk for selling stuff but now I can’t find it🤷🏻‍♂️. does anyone have a pointer? I’m selling a Transit tipper and no luck anywhere else, yet.

But also it is a mulcher that I need, not a mower because the area is a load of thick brambles and weeds.

Thanks mate.

The job is in Horley, Surrey. Near Gatwick airport. It is two sites near each other but both can be achieved easily within a normal working day. Therefore, yes, the long travel will kill it.

So the last candidate didn't show up, his loss, therefore I am still looking for a great person.
