    I had as customer yesterday who I had a discussion with about what to replant in the place of a Birch( pendulus Sp) that I removed due to wind damage. She started saying that she had seen 'a birch tree of somekind with very white bark' that had multi stems from the ground. Jacquemontii I presumed. I said I could formative prune one but how about planting a genus which naturally has the shape that she wanted. This is'nt about what to plant here, but it got me thinking about going against what nature intended the shape of a tree to be, excluding being planted solely for the purpose of being harvested for fruit or wood. I find a similarity with children who's parents have a dominant idea of what they are going to be from a very young age and who then grow up to rebel. (Weak unions etc) Interested to hear your opinions on formative pruning for aesthetic reasons only. Warren

    I've had 8 shredded wheat(not the mini ones) every morning since I was 10 with a couple of bananas on top. I might even have a couple more if its my birthday!

    Had the same with Rhus, no reaction one year and big reaction the next, same species.

    As Hamadryad said, they do sometimes lose a large proportion of the lower canopy at once, especially in a dry spell. £350 though, you'll probably find the arisings in a wood down the road.

    I know horse riders can use pretty robust back protectors, worth a try.

    I completely understand your thinking but I'm not sure there would be anything strong enough that wouldnt seriously impair your movement to make a difference to a falling tree's weight.

    Thought I'd do the right thing and introduce myself.Names Warren, worked as a tree surgeon for a few years up until 2000 when circumstances changed and got involved in estate management. Graduated last year with a degree in landscape management and looking to furthur my qualifications and knowledge specifically in arboriculture to become a consultant. Good to join a forum where I feel right at home talking about fungus! Warren
