DLO Chargehand left a husky 560 on site yesterday. He only discovered this morning that it was gone. Suitable punishment? Looking at written warning. If it was a small firm he'd be paying for the replacement saw but we're ex Council DLO and his TUPE T&C's don't include the cost of replacing lost kit.

The BBC pushes a tree climbing book 'news'
TreeTiger replied to Andrew McEwan's topic in General chat
BBC London interviewed him the other week. Incredible that they may promote such a disregard for public safety. No fall arrest system. No pedestrian exclusion zone accident waiting to happen -
It all sounds fine to me. Next planting season will certainly be acceptable. Perhaps include beating up along the lines of 'any whip failing to establish after two years will be replaced like for like in the next available planting season' ...just a thought

Hi Paul, We've always got trees you could test in Harlow. Are you only wanting trees with signs of decay/disfunction? Josh

Greatest benefits: portable data storage, speed of data entry, retrievable data Paper gets wet and blows away and is too bulky. Useful application in stock inventory, condition surveying & planning Dynamic link between map & database Digital mapping provides accessible shareable visual data Dead reckoning is more accurate than GPS in the urban environment, GPS is better in woodland. Happy to write more if you have further Q's

Black locust tree with strange problem. Can it be saved?
TreeTiger replied to jeffpas's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
As 10 Bears said, you're bound to get different opinions....here's my tupenn'orth... Removing the bark has revealed a larger area of exposed sapwood. The white deposit you see is the mycellium of the fungi, check for fruiting bodies -brackets/toadstools in the Autumn. ID the fungus, check the implications for the tree. Don't use any form of chemical control, as we don't fully understand the implications of the tree/fungi relationship. Continue to monitor the exposed area for signs of decay, monitor the crown for signs of decline. If crown decline or basal decay becomes significant, fell the tree. -
Pussy willow?

Black locust tree with strange problem. Can it be saved?
TreeTiger replied to jeffpas's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
The decay appears to be localised. Monitor the area of concern, prod around with a probe and if the decay begins to approach one third of the circumference of the trunk, consider reducing the crown or removing the tree. Get at least three quotes before employing an arborist. -
Getting the £100 Hero this week If i like it and use it I may upgrade in years to come or once the lens gets scratched

Ideally you'll replace your helmet every 3 years

Reshape, rebalance crown, come back again in 3 years, repeat ad nauseam, quids in.
