I will try and get some photos tomorrow, anyone with ideas as to what is causing the ash tree to seep black fluid from the trunk. I hope it is not the dreaded Ash Dieback, don't think it is near at the moment

Yes right on the Bucks, Beds, Herts boundry.

Hi Paul, I am near Tring Hertfordshire. I will get some photos

Looking round my small woodland today I noticed one of the ash trees had a thick black liquid weeping out of the trunk. the weep starts about a metre high and is running down the tree onto the floor. I would appreciate any information as to what the cause is please,

Cuckoo are in my wood, but have gone now.

Aspen is brilliant and well worth the cost

H ow long does Aspen 2 keep?

Done, hope it helps

Thank you

Looks a good bit of kit

I dug a load out with a digger but there is around a hundred left , but there is still more to cut down. Some of the stumps are quite big. I hope to grow broad leafed trees in their place. Really appreciate all the advice.

I am in Buckinghamshire. I bought the wood three years ago to keep me busy in my retirement and it was really overgrown with holly som want to stop it growing back again. thank you for the advice.

I am looking to buy a small petrol/diesel engine log splitter for my own and families use. Any advice on a decent machine?

I have a small woodland that was overgrown with holly trees. most have been removed now but the roots are shooting again. Stump grinding would not be practical as there are far too many of them. Any ideas of how and what to use would be appreciated. I am a pensioner and my aim before I die is to kill them all off. it is me or the holly roots:blushing:

Yes I went to the APF show and will be going again this year, just woundered if the ARB show was open to non-members

IS THE arb show open to non members? if so what is the approx ticket price. I am not a member but very interested in anything forestry. I am retired and own a small woodland

I need a logsplitter for my own supply as I am finding it hard to keep splitting logs with a maul now that I am a pensioner. Has anyone used the Rock logsplitter and if so what model

I am looking at one of the Rock machinery logsplitter, agin for chooping logs for my own logburner. Anyone use a Rock logsplitter??

I bought 10 acres 3 years ago. The woodland was very overgrown with a lot of scrub and some very large broad leaved trees. The idea was to keep me busy now I have retired and that is certainly the case. Equipment has cost a small fortune, i.e chainsaws, scrub clearers and a digger, but I just love being in the wood. My Grandsons (6 of them) spend a lot of time in the wood and camp there whenever possible. The local Scouts use the wood a couple of times a year to carry out their activities so it gets well used. We have family and friends B-B-Qs in the summer and everyone appears to enjoy themselves. Both my Sons and myself have logburners and the amount of wood lying around has kept us going without cutting and trees down. I am going through the process of obtaining a Management Plan and hope to submit it this week for approval complete with a 10 year felling licence. Yes the wood has cost a fair amount of money but I would not be without it for anything.
