The Japanese used to bind young girls feet to stop them growing . Don't make it right . Plant it in the ground , teas the roots out from being pot bound and let it live . ....Just my take on it . ?

Sycamore x3 and the last one Birch . -
To be fair I don't care . I probably would not care if I was 6 or 7 or 67 and I am happy that you are happy . I have no problem with battery tools . Just pointing out the test was a little in accurate .

And put a new powermate rim on .

With the petrol saw ( with the blunt chain ) if you actually count the seconds from when the bar touches the log its actually quicker than the battery one . About 15 or so seconds .

I have double dawgs/sdpikes on my big saws but not on the smaller ones ( 60cc downwards ) as I find it makes snedding/de limbing less efficient .

I would prefer oven baked rather than micro wave . If you go for tin trays you would not be able to put strait into micro wave .

Painful to watch .

Way above my pay grade ! ?

Horbeam leaf is smaller and has a sharper serrated edge to the leaf ( related to birch ) I have seen beech with that form on the trunk . Also as others have said beech bark can vary from tree to tree . Even trees in a plantation standing next to each other . One has gnarly segmented bark and the other smooth .

Pretty sure its as Mick said , wooly aphid .

Steve is on the money I think . Can you see an old graft line round the lower of the trunk ? Also if you remove part of a limb when it sprouts new leaves they sometimes revert to the hoste root stock and will kook like normal beech leaves on that one limb .

Its a little and often that keeps you working . If you muller a chain that needs 12 or 15 strokes per cutter thats 1/2 an hour off the job . Its fairly obvious if you look at the working edge of the cutter . Also you will feel the difference . Don't forget to take the rakers down now and then ( dependent on how much you have to take off the cutter ) .

Advice needed for tree close to house.

When I was working I would give the chain 3 strokes every fill up . Do the rakers at home if need be . IMO it does not matter where or what you are cutting , a dull chain is a dull chain . Edit . I would replace the chain when one or two cutters start to fall off . This is the point were the chain cuts its fastest .
