Interesting this is being raised on a Sunday and Easter at that
I did feel when I first joined arbtalk with a handle then not my name that some users are rude and have little understanding of bullying and harassment
I specifically do not share my hard earned understanding mainly of legislation with forum unmas due to those early negative unmoderated comments
I know try to assist thru a pm
However the person who many years ago made the negative comments that I still recal has posted on so many threads although perhaps biased now towards him I believe he has an air I don't like he has made me ? My thought and position and has provided very accurate and usefull posts so I would not want him told of what he is doing as we would possibly loose his so valuable points
This is why I stopped being faceless and am who I am
I am not sure what I am trying to get across but perhaps the moderator must look at the benefits a bully may bring and if as in the case I refer to should he stay or go I believe ask the victim

Its a Poplar, harder to kill than a cockroach.
If its in good health you could knock it back to a pole in the middle of summer and it wouldn't die.
It would be wise to let your client know that the tree will need maintenance pruning in the future.
Many valid comments don't disagree with any of them
One point to add
Polypore sqamosa
In my opinion and experience appears to hit pops hard I now recommend fell and replant as its so rife around here
Cost benifit analysis and risk through weak point of attachment sanction most pops to firewood pile for me
However I always if timing and location allows use hardwood cuttings to retain the trees presence
Hope your all enjoy the sun not long till the bass will in happy days

think on this
why will the FC not allow an excemption to felling control for ash trees ?
either its not as bad as they are saying it is or they want their cake and to eat it?
The Fc want us to give them all the info and all our support but still want the reins and refuse to empower us.
Please everyone don't go getting bent out a shape I am not talking about conservation areas or TPOs I am talking about felling control over 5 cube.
I posed this ? to the FC and the reply was no reply.
Its the same for larch with Pr
enjoy your day folks

Trouble with E. globulus is that the tree isn't reliably hardy in the UK, tends to only stand a chance in coastal areas. Even so, some I know around Abersoch in North Wales were ruined in the exceptionally cold winters a few years ago. From my experience the timber from the common Cider Gum, E. gunnii, isn't particularly hard. Warps and twists like the devil as well and internal honeycomb shakes can turn good looking stuff into firewood!
I milled a load Last june so hard had to resharpen saw every 3m on approx 400mm dia log
Got some unmilled logs in yard bigger diameter and some planks
Used most green in kitchen floor as I loved the way it moved gave a fantastic old look and feel
Pm your email address and I will send pic of planks
I would use holly if you want some thing that hard as nails and won't move got some big stuf in yard and some old bur acacia about 500 in diameter

I run 3 rb44 and 3 dodge 50 there good rbs don't stop as well as dodge
They pull well but I do get stopped by vosa and may be in court over there interpret ion on the legislation
I don't wish to post to much as some people's viewpoints are different from mine and I only want to aid u not get irrated by another's viewpoint
Read the law read the exemptions read your licence
Make sure u are straight about ur use with ur insurer and its doable
Good luck
The Rb payload is 2.25 tons the dodge a fair bit more depending if twin wheels on rear axle u can get all the spares from Greg on dodge 50 forum he's sound knows everything about them
