Can hear the pinkfoots honking overhead now ! Time for the firewood lads to do a bit of scaremongering

Thank you for the link David , interesting little geezer . Plenty of big horse chestnuts up here but certainly not in the concentrations of Norfolk ( bearing in mind i only seen a small part ) . I certainly havent seen this locally but will lookout for it . Loved the big willows down there aswell , beautiful -
Putting a figure 8 in would that not ADD friction ??

Definitely ... leave the old girl in peace if possible

That its chick below the left wing ?? Jackdaws .. amazing Peregrine.. very very unusual to see a peregrine under those circumstances . Very interesting to know more about that bird .

Was in Norfolk with a fellow arbtalker a few weeks ago and couldnt help but notice the poorly Chestnuts with browned off leaves . Whats going on ? Havent seen it up here ..

Also exponentially consuming more . Funny i was thinking about this the other day there simply has to be a tipping point , surely ..

Thats why i said the rootplate is a red herring i think . I cant understand why there was any rootplate at all because there is nothing there , the ground is just so soft being the only reason . Is there anything i can do to confirm a diagnosis as i will be back there on Monday ? I'm even thinking of bringing in a fung expert .
-
P.S.. I'm sure the root plate is a red herring in this instance , really soft soil and disturbed / landscaped ground

I would say roughly about 1 meter from the base . Was the only blemish i could see and curiously at one of them white spots . Looked at the merip thread but this tree hasnt tried to lay down what looks like characteristic retrenching roots nor buttressing ?

No snotty black mess or any fruiting bodies at base . Tree was in full leaf but had suffered some crown dieback . Spalting was consistent all the way from top of trunk to bottom and wood was solid . I would have taken the decision to climb which is concerning me .

Shite , lost a months horse logging contract .

Thanks Jim thats interesting , will try and follow that up

Ben , that whats i suggested to the client, ( jokingly ) but it was in a private garden and definitely hadn't been marked up . Couldnt find any fruiting bodies at all . There were porcelain fungi on the upper branches . Thanks for your opinion .

Hi-flex have been far and away the most popular chainsaw trouser of all time and for good reason .

Is that how lichen starts out Rob ? What caused the failure ?
-
Todays job , nothing holding this tree up at all , quite concerning . Would appreciate if anyone could shed some light on the white ( almost spray paint like ) blemishes . Guss109 cutting , saw 395xp .

Speak to Wooded for a completely fair and impartial , balanced opinion

I'll fly the flag for the north east , much much drier than the west for starters !! Royal deeside is stunning , you have little places like Aboyne then into Ballater then finally Braemar which will you will love . Stunning walks round Loch Muick and the precipitous Lochnagar if your feeling brave !! If its definitely the west coast how about landing on the beach at Barra in a puddle jumper aircraft ?? Just be ewe and the sheep there

Are we looking at a gay callamerro look then ?
