    Rotties. I think they were around the 60 kilo mark each last time they were weighed. they're just a couple of big lap dogs. Busa.. He's a wee bit bigger now

    There's probably more weight in the back of my pickup with the two dogs

    Used Wix and Godaddy, both easy enough (not used Wordpress) and you can use your own domains. IIRC you just have to insert the DNS thingies when asked. It's not to difficult- I managed

    So it's a big hearse...

    Fixed that for you. You just know that that stem is going to be a mass of soil filled pockets and occlusions

    If they keep stock there, it's twenty minutes from me.

    Failing that, if there's anywhere around Manchester I could collect and bring them up on the 26th

    Not a big 'name', but a big supplier to the landscape industry up here. But, like many they buy stock in.

    BTW. The tree was rootballed, so the roots weren't visible at the time of planting.

    I've got 'to establishment in the landscape' or whatever it's called ( the last one) and most of the Nursery ones. I'll have a look later. Id have thought that there was enough 'stored energy' in the buds for it to at least begin to develop leaves.

    Didn't come into leaf at all. There was a lime planted at the same time, which leafed out normally. I thought the oak was just a little late, being ring porous, but looking at it mid summer there was no live cambium anywhere on the tree. Agree that it looks to be field grown, with limited undercutting (only once?) before being root-balled. I think I've read a spec of minimum root radius to stem size, but can't remember if it was a BS or a recommendation from somewhere else. In in the back of my mind, there's also something about problems with development of new roots after root pruning in oaks - but I might be confused.

    As long as it isn't Mark with a Ms 660

    This Quercus robur was planted at the end of March. It never came into leaf and over the last few months started to produce basal shoots. The weather was warm and dry after it was planted, but it was well watered - another nearby Lime is doing well. It was planted as a rootballed heavy standard 14-16. I dug it up this week and would appreciate some opinions on the roots. Do they suggest that the tree has been grown and prepared for root-balling and transplanting properly? I would have liked to have seen a more typical root spread in all directions and more fibrous roots.

    Or, if the OP is on site regularly, replant and then treat any regrowth that appears. I suppose that as long as the client knows the limitations/timescales and probability of the requirement for further treatment, depending on what's done, you don't look foolish if new growth pops up.

    Will a week be long enough? I don't know, would sufficient concentration get into the roots before the above ground growth was removed?
  22. Gary Prentice
    If it gets like this, maybe consider a light reduction
  23. Gary Prentice
    Don't know why, but think they're called a tree bicycle Used to be used for acces for collecting seed etc. Probably replaced now by SRT & bigshots.

    I wasn't arguing with EgGs, just asking?

    Predictive text?
