So you're not keen then? I thought that you'd made those names up

Well, it's not valuable Black Walnut, but...

IIRC elms really good when permanently wet, it was used for water pipes in London. Where it isn't so good is the wet/dry junction at ground level (like most stuff) How long are they hoping for? It's not oak/sweet chestnut but a lot more durable than most of the softwoods and less durable heartwoods.

Fixed that for ya

Was yours a 6 or an 8? I wonder if they're different. As Mick said, it's strange to see a technical drawing drawn wrong.

Some sap sucking aphid, I think. Soapy water spray/ general purpose insecticide if there's any that are bird friendly.

Nothing hard about inserting a PDF from file (thanks Mr B)
-
Is that on the plate shown on P14 of the PDF I posted? That no. doesn't ring a bell (but We've had 2-3 new engines in that machine over the years, I think there was a GM with a Lombardini at some point and the ST6 is also a Lombardini, so I might be getting confused myself.

I've always been tempted by this

Not going to even ask!

Blame Brexit Mick

On the ST6 the illustration in the manual shows it on the inside, which it is. There's a lot more clearance on yours than ours, our tensioner is really tucked in between the flywheel and engine pulleys. EDIT: Just realised that your manual is in French, that'll be why it's different

Woodchipper - 222MS.pdf Don't think I ever had an English version If it's not the right engine manual, I'll have the right one somewhere lombardini 1003 engine manual.pdf

Avoiding the paperwork I don't want to do!

Some just seem less attractive to the vector than others. There was a mature elm a couple of minutes up the road from me that I've watched for ten years. Last year there were a few yellowed branches, this year it's gone. Maybe the number of host trees has an affect on vector numbers, as well as how isolated they are.

Not without a lot more detail. Elms hybridise readily and some are quite difficult to distinguish between species. How long are the leaves?

Doesn't lilac have a milk chocolate coloured heartwood?

I live in a bungalow. Don’t like stairs?

Saplings (??) going berserk in drought
Gary Prentice replied to Dawn Redwood's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Not that unusual a form for a maturing GW around here, we’ve thousands of them on waste ground everywhere. -
Looks more like Malus, with a lot of degradation of the sapwood. Fruitwood anyway, but not cherry.

Tracking decline with Google street view...
Gary Prentice replied to benedmonds's topic in Tree health care
Residents were claiming a developer had caused the decline of a tree near their compound a few years back - they were really in for him. The historic imagery showed the decline over several years and, IIRC, the actual utility trenching works which was probably the real cause -
Fixed that for ya
