  1. If you mean correct pruning cuts, I'd imagine yes. Correct cuts would be small, exposing little heartwood, and in the best position for compartmentalisation If incorrect, I suppose it depends on how incorrect they were- topping a birch with 30 cm plus wounds, probably not:lol: I'd recommend pruning spikes if only pruning:biggrin:
  2. Growth over spike marks is like papering over cracks. There is a potential for decay and/or dysfunction to be initiated. None of this is new, it's in Shigos books from the 1970 and 80's
  3. just very unprofessional
  4. Good news. Must be good to put that behind you, forget about it and move on.
  5. I was going to say yourself! But concrete in cavities/ soft red brick in included bark - no real indication, just stops cutting.
  6. Tree Preservation Order
  7. Me too:biggrin:
  8. Very true...
  9. I'm not surprised that he hasn't posted again:biggrin:
  10. That was announced in 2015. It's all right, we probably don't need that many after Brexit:biggrin:
  11. It's not a shame, it's ridiculous. It's a backwards step in the management of the planning system with regard to trees. Where's the justification in using inexperienced and unqualified planning inspectors in the decision making process?
  12. I'd say yes, but I'm not confident that the refusal would be upheld at appeal, as Arb consultants won't be used as inspectors AFAIK
  13. Well, conditions have to fulfil the six requirements (all of which I can't remember) Think it would be reasonable to refuse if the trees health/vitality was low or poor. Ultimately an inspector (who used to be an Arb consultant) would decide if the refusal was reasonable. Not so sure about making a short consent period, would it be seen as an unreasonable condition?
  14. Unfortunately, her mouth has gotten her in a position where she can afford it. The £107,000 in costs aren't the end of it. I read somewhere else that this is only the interim figure and the estimation was that the final tally would be around 3X that. Don't much care for her myself, another celebrity who's famous for being famous
  15. So now you're sorted are you going to let on, as to how you managed to do both lenses?
  16. I don't know, but it might be worth dropping barchams, majestic or the like an email to ask, if you don't get an answer here. Explain you're studying, I've found most of the Arb industry very helpful.
  17. So should I run my L200 on pure Stella? Probably cheaper than diesel
  18. But they are a starting point for further considerations👍
  19. Whales are mammals, there's something fishy going on.
  20. Just been a long week, maybe I just need to get on my motorpike & sidecarp and get away from it all...... I'll get me coat..
  21. That there is. Maybe this isn't the time or plaice:blushing:
  22. So who else uses stock images? And is it ok? Just to to get back on track.
  23. I must be working on the high end then, not needing to crown trees and in a position to turn them away.
  24. Rather think it means topping, hat-racking, mullering and the like:001_tt2:
  25. Cod wood? Let's not start that again:biggrin:
