Where to cut this oak to minimise stress on what remains
tree-fancier123 replied to SbTVF's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
maybe the stems will talk to each other by way of the hormones and work out a way to live together

I'm sorry. I promise I won't ever do it again. Best wishes

Cant see why it had to end with a happy yellow face

I dont want to wind my neck in, sounds painful. If youd rather be spoon fed subby work thats up to you. As someone else pointed out the other day - there is an ignore function - please use it. (Smiley emoticon ommited)

Centrica owns it all? Should I buy the shares, will they recover?

Theres loads of Dynorod always putting up TM never stopped. You couldnt buy a franchise or otherwise set up yourself.

see below - there's always work about, but it could be too physical for you, make you tired. I think you enjoy whining in internet chat rooms more than anything else, so you have no motive to get on.

doing a temporary menial job to tide you over would be too much like hard work

so two main problems are not enough work, and can't go to the pub. Shouldn't mean people are bored though. What about studying to further a skill set? Reading doesn't have to be Middlemarch, could be an electronics textbook for example. “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” – George Eliot, Middlemarch.

most tree work seems to be more aimed at risk removal, 'don' want my grandchildren playing under that' etc, which is fair enough. If you want to see a big tree, go to the tree museum (and stand well clear).

Your average tree contractor may not know about patterns of decay of all the different fungi, for example, some do, some don't. So trying to get free advice as part of a quote visit isn't always going to give you a definitive answer. The tree guys on here know their stuff when it comes to work positioning and machinery maintenance, but you often see contractors asking 'what fungi is this?' The best thing a tree owner can do is not let humans or valuable infrastructure near it ever, then the tree can safely manage itself until death.

Sorry I should have put it another way. I dont think maybelateron was being preachy. It seems to me he said something along the lines of 'I dont like the thought of getting questioned by HMRC and found out. His was a concern about punishment. But I tried to talk about another reason for being honest - because one day you may need expensive treatment on the NHS, so when you're on the table and your life is in their hands you can think Ive paid in as per instructions, not tried to be some flash Dan getting away with whatever I can.

He (maybelateron) is ex NHS, so I expect he has a certain moral standing on this, after all his wages came out of taxpayer money. I have commited fraud many a time and I know full well I will burn in hell.

also the timing of cutting is a consideration - I would try to avoid autumn when majority of fungal decay spores are released, now would be good except as Stere mentioned there is already drought stress. Early summer if no drought or late December/ January good times. -

Tree management isn't like mathematics, so yes opinions prevail, but you should see a trend emerge if say 10 consultants were asked on where to cut that lapsed pollard with a view to removing 2 and retaining 3 stems. Also I've no idea who the best consultant is thought to be. Jeremy Barrell is a famous one, but there are probably a dozen really good ones, with another 1200 people holding the level 6 qual who sort of know what they are on about -

with big wounds right near the ground it could be more prone to decay getting into the 3 retained stems, the leaning one could be cut into the field a bit and still give access, for the reason of slowing/preventing infection I would suggest 10ft above ground. I'm not a consultant. If you paid the best consultant in the land for their advice you would be very upset at the loss of so much money, but your tree may end up happier. -
Downing Street is tech. Soon the PM will be AI , as we are told they are less prone than humans to circuit malfunction. It will be illegal to discriminate against artificial MPs, just coz theyre not flesh and blood.

I feel sorry for the people who put their life savings into moving into a place in a nice village, only to have the gypos arrive and build a camp. Happens all over the country. It's an invasion and should be repelled by the armed forces.

although I would like to think a human doctor will be checking on scans and x-rays too, just in case some damp gets in the circuit boards. This damp in the circuit boards always worries me, what about circuit malfunctions in self driving cars - maybe they will take out a row of benefit claimants on the pavement

one thing AI and robots are already beating humans is reading medical scans - an AI machine doesn't have an off day when it's mind wonders to matters outside work
