Don't hold your breath for a response, Kevin will be driving in circles until he runs out fuel or someone moves the sugnage.

Our client, the one I was searching for the s106 for, recently bought the house and her solicitor told her that the roadside/highway trees were subject to a TPO? (But not according to the lasses in planning who will always tell us about anything close by)
-
Tried enquiring with planning this afternoon about a domestic property that I know, from previous searches, has no TPO & isn't in a CA. The owner is responsible for part of a more public planting so I enquired about s106. "We don't have that information":sneaky2:

apparently applying legislation isn't a prerequisite to knowing it unfortunately.

A goat would have even less environmental impact still.

They'll be impressed and envious

An interesting read.
-
Not particularly fond of horsey folk myself either, but shooting them for leaving gates open seems a little extreme.
-
Try trapping the nails between a couple of large rings of timber. I can confirm that they'll stay a fetching black colour for months, if they don't fall off.

Not quite the mental image I had of Stubby!

Not in 1989 All the climbing equipment was inspected weekly though and properly recorded. IIRC visually it looked better than yours:001_tongue:

I used one of those once. The lowering rope, think it was sisal that looked suitable for mooring the QE2, broke!

Saw that last night.

Good tree management results in fewer subsidence claims and no fatalities or personal injuries for falling trees or parts of trees. So if there's no problems with trees you don't need to allocate funds to them on the balance sheet! A prosecution by the HSE for a death due to poor risk management or a sharp rise in subsidence claims will prove that good tree management costs money.

what logs have you been chopping today!

Would all angiosperms be hardwood, gymnosperms softwood? -
Think you omitted a couple of words in your last post:001_rolleyes: Fixed it for you:wink:

Going back a step, would two 'infections' by the same species coexist? Or set up barriers to safeguard their environment from each other?
-
That was my thought, difficult without any sense of scale.

Four cycles of the Myeloma 11 trial chemotherapy drugs worked wonders for me.
-
If that's the case, shouldn't field and woodland trees be worse, and street trees better because the roadsweepers clear the fallen leaves?
-
Reports on other forums are that the effects seem to be a little earlier this year and/or more severe than last year.
-
You're probably correct. I more I learn the more I come to realise that there is still so much we don't know, so many theories and thoughts that we go out with from day to day and try to make the best decisions we possibly can.

Isn't that atypical of SBD? Failure of the union rather than distant to it. I've wondered, after reading and listening to Dr Slater and the works on the formation of branch unions, how the mechanics change when a limb which was previously putting on loads of incremental growth gets pruned or overshaded and no longer produces loads of energy. If the loss of energy equates to less wood formation from the limb in the union, and most of the wood in the collar is trunk derived wood, how does the mechanics change? Do the mechanics change? Does the change in growth ratios begin to form a branch shedding collar to effectively get rid of an inefficient or less productive limb? And sometimes I just think I need to get a life:blushing:

Personally I'd keep quiet and deny all knowledge of a lost drone. Gatwick shut twice on Sunday due to rogue drones, one might have been yours!

Am I the only one who finds the smaller the job, the more difficult the customer is to arrange a day? The 1-2 day domestic jobs seem easy but Mrs Miggins £100 apple tree can only be done on a tuesday afternoon after 2.30. I've one client, a teacher, who after accepting the quote decided that the job had to be done after 4PM or on a saturday. She didn't see any reason to mention this when we met to discuss the job and now can't see why our staff feel that these time are outside of normal hours and warrant overtime payments:sneaky2:
