That goes with all my experience. Ive also seen it spread from bad pruning cuts. I always wondered if we tested all the small diameter deadwood from around the canopy for massaria to futher back up the idea that its just the trees mechanism for shedding unwanted branches. It target prunes perfectly!

I live in in hampstead as it goes! All the trees ive climbed have been in central london. Some very mature. We climb 30+ mature planes on one sensitive site every year because of massaria so i get the feel for it. Yesterday i was checking out planes in a large communal garden in kensington that had been known to of had massaria and so far nothing. I was off today due to the tax man checking my records but im back there tomorrow, ill let ya know if i find any!

HI all, just thought id pipe up about how i hav'nt seen hardly any massaria this winter compared to the last one or the one before. Is it possible that Massaria being an endophyte, is just the trees natural drought response mechanism??? As we have had a very wet year has this "turned it off"?? Ive climbed a hell of a lot of mature planes this winter and ive only encountered it once, a tiny fraction of previous years.

After reading up it definately does come across as an exposed sapwood strategist, sounds like it causes some quite extensive white rot too. Definately one to look out for. -

Thats where they always go, ive lost 2 pairs like that. My co workers now opt for the tibet forrest as it is the same boot just with a different sole that does not split. Im now in airstreams and they have been my longest serving boot!!! hard!!

Our 261 has LOADS of various problem

Strange, got me stumped. Ive only ever seen leitaporus on Taxus.

The police dont seem to be remotely interested. They just give you a crime number and dont even ask many questions. We have found this every time we report summat, so now we don't bother as it just seems a waste of time.

Were based in london , near brent cross. We got had in hemel hempstead, that place is full of theiving a**holes. Thing is we were trying to be carefull as we knew what the area is like. My boss put the blower down, turned his back to it, walked 5 metres and it was gone!! The clients we were working for saw them do it from across the car park but by the time they had got the message across to us the guy had jumped into a white transit down the road and was long gone!!

wont it fail a loler test with no CE mark??
-
shame they have no CE mark:thumbdown:
-
it was an early one, and i dont believe all the the spares were avaliable back then. the ironic thing was that the replacable bridge was the part that was in the best condition at the end of its life. Also by the end all the elastic was gone and parts of the back support were ripped. Have they improved its durability since it first came out then??
-
my gaffer ruined his within 9 months,i was gonna get one but it put me right off. Webbing started to disintegrate and failed loler.
-
This is the second time in 3 months, this time a quick snatch and grab in full view of people. Luckily it was only a blower albeit a new one and not the 046 and 066 like last time. They seem to be getting more cheeky with how they operate!
