Arbdating. And there's me thinking it was going to be about dendrochronology.
-
Given the conservation value of box woodland, does the farmer really need to clear it? Perhaps some way could be found to get support to maintain it. Including clearing the brambles.
-
Wasn't there a woodfair in South Brent last September?
-
The first two pics look like holly, the second could be anything, eg hornbeam. A clearer closeup of the leaves would be helpful. BTW, there's a separate section for tree idents.
-
Delonix superba, I reckon. Got some seeds from an old seedpod somewhere. One day I''l plant them.
-
Perhaps you could subcontract the hedgelaying. I hear the going rate is £9/yd, to help you price it.
-
Because although it needs damp to start off, it can create the water it needs to carry on by chemical breakdown of the wood. So once it's got going, it can invade wood which is perfectly dry.

Thunderbolt and lightning, took me a bit by surprise as I hadn't seen the forecast. Had intended to take the hood down on the car, glad I didn't now.
-
Ash. Where's that Chalara fraxinae when you need it?
-
What massive elm bark beetles all over it!
-
Wrong sectionBTW
-
If it's a very old yew, I think your greatest threat might be infringing a Tree Preservation Order. You have looked into that, haven't you?
-
Scythe them down about now. All the goodness is in the top growth; leave it much longer and the rhizomes will start to replenish themselves for winter. Then do it next year.

What Gloucestershire needs is some sort of ambulance service to take people to A&E. And what was he thinking, 'got to get a bandage before going to hospital', anything would have done. Like the one he should have had in his first aid kit.
-
Is everything from the same plant, or is there something else growing through it? It's just that the arrangement of the unripe fruits looks totally wrong for a cherry.
-
LOL! He should have seen it coming when the front wheels went down, but carried on anyway. "I'll be OK, the laws of physics don't apply to me."
-
What was the point of turning the camera on it's side? I had to do likewise with my laptop to continue watching.
-
What, you mean you allowed yourself to be distracted by the road as you drove along? Disgraceful!
-
I think if I was as rubbish as that, I'd want the ground to swallow me as well!
-
It's not just old folk. I turned up to the weekly Wildlife Trust workday, and had been there for several minutes when one of the other people looked me in the eye and said:" Simon, you walked past me four times!". It was my brother and I hadn't noticed him.
-
Not surprised. Bats don't need a bridge; they can fly. Unless I'm missing something here.
-
Just to introduce a wild card, this device has been the subject of discussion on the bodgers.org.uk forum: KIRVES: Heikki Vipukirves The basic idea seems to be that the axe turns to one side after penetrating a short way, levering the billet off. Ingenious.
-
Eucryphia?
-
Certainly not an elm. They don't go that colour.
-
Obviously some misunderstanding as to how much "a load" is. Certainly with a lot of the firewood ads I've seen, this is not stated.
