Transplant shock-ring porous v diffuse porous
Gary Prentice replied to Gary Prentice's topic in Tree health care
Age unknown, but extra heavy standard, planted in march. After a bit of reading, I found out that trees with bigger, courser roots like oak are slower to initiate new roots than those with fine fibrous roots. Just one of the factors in TS. I saw the tree again yesterday, the lime looks good but the oaks not moving. Not concerned, as yet, at least for another week or two. I just wondered if there is a relationship between delay in leading, after planting, and ring porous trees. Young oaks here haven't all developed full sized leaves, as yet, anyway. -
Andrew, I had a quick look at that - looks terrifying! Kevin. Do you use any GIS/GPS hardware? It's all 'dark arts' to me ATM but I wonder if the accuracy of what's available (at a reasonable cost) is sufficient to plot onto downloaded OS maps. Paul Barton organised something a yr or two back with CAS, keysoft solutions and a really good speaker on GIS whose name escapes me. The GIS part was a bit above my head, but it's pretty remarkable.

Transplant shock-ring porous v diffuse porous

Anyone? -
I think that if you can get the domain name CTGS or the like, you can use that as another address that can forward searches to your existing site, keeping the older site for the sake of your ranking. As far as I know you can do this with any number of domains through the name servers (DNS?) and would think, but check, it'll retain the ranking

If you're concerned about AOD, at the moment it's got no further north than the midlands Edit: should have said that it hasn't been reported further north, from the FC website.

That may be 'best practice' & a good idea, but we've reused the nuts many times, on different machines without problems. I think an odd worn one has failed to maintain its torque and come loose, but in my experience it's not generally been an issue

Don't know about evolution, but they're in a highly active state in the summer in temperate zones, useful when they need to produce barriers against colonisation of decay pathogens

Planted a lime and an oak in March, RB, 14-16cm, and the clients rang to say the lime is in full leaf but the oak hasn't moved. I explained about oak being later into leaf due to being ring porous, but looking at today began to wonder about the relationship (if there is one) between transplant shock and ring porous trees. Do r.p trees suffer more? My thoughts are along the lines that new planting has initially to grow new roots and create vessels before the foliage breaks, i.e greater energy demands in ring porous as opposed to diffuse, so growth would be more retarded. Is my thinking utter nonsense? I haven't researched it yet but thought I'd ask for thoughts and opinions.
-
I guess that it isn't wrong if whatever is produced is acceptable as being suitable by the planning authority. If the client understands that it may not be, in the absence of a topo, then they assume the risk if they don't want to pay for the land survey.
-
I can't answer from the TO point of view, but generally for missing trees, I do the same as you - triangulate from other fixed objects to plot it. To date, fortunately, I've always had topo's supplied or arranged to get them done for the client. If, for an extension as your example, none was forthcoming I think I'd look at OS mapping to plot the trees on and explain how any plans had then been drawn. Sorry, not much help really, am I?

Well why don't you David? It's an honest question. If you don't think the subject adds to the site, I don't, close it. If a small minority of members take umbrage at an 'executive decision' , throw their toys out of the pram and leave, so be it. I've been told by at least one knowleable and supportative member that they've left because the site has just become too confrontational

Woodland= all trees, of all sizes, an ongoing entity. A group TPO- trees present at the time of the order A bit of difference
-
Not that blog is biased in any way whatsoever.

Talking about precision, I've just inquired with planning about a group order, from 1984, which listed trees of 'whatever species'. I asked how he like to defend that in court:biggrin: But back to your original point, perhaps if councils rejected more applications and notices we'd all get into the habit of being more specific and accurate in what we're doing or supplying to others to do. I see some extraordinary bad apps accepted and consented, which allows the 'tree cutter' to do pretty much as they please.

You're such a doubter, you should learn to trust people more:biggrin:

It's alright Chris, I was alluding to you always having the correct facts and figures to hand to correct my ball park figures. Twenty ton was a daft remark considering the variations that the modules come in - I should have thought more. At a recent mini seminar the speaker passed around the 3D stuff, much more robust than you'd imagine so I'd think the separating membranes are of similar quality.
-
Sorry, what was the original question? It's early but, you mean a copse is a cant of coppice that hasn't been cut? Back to Kevin's question. I still think the definition of a wood will be dependent on who you're asking. Is there minimum sizes involved in grants? Can there be a definition of something that's in a constant stage of evolution?
-
does a wood become a forest at a thousand Oaks too, or does it have to be acers?
-
Isn't that a coup? I think, and the dictionaries say, that a copse is simply a small group of trees - a baby wood:biggrin: Edit: Cos I thought of something else. A coup is a compartment within a wood, so if coppicing stops its still part of a wood, not a copse.

Well they say that dogs look like their owners. Saying nowt, but looking at his avatar......

Inbox is a little larger now Mr Johnson

:lol:

Or living it large on holiday somewhere nice:thumbup1:

But you did get a site visit:thumbup1:

Be fair, the legal definition of a tree is vague enough without multiplying to woodlands. Wonder when a copse becomes a wood becomes a forest.
