    It's interesting stuff. I will keep you guys informed come this Tuesday as to John Harraways findings. I just hope the years of coke cans and kebab wrappers people have thrown into the hollow dont effect the results!!

    I've never heard of plugs of bark being removed. They usually hammer nails in and use those as the sensors. A few very small holes within the bark is in my eyes a small sacrifice to pay if it means finding out the exact state of decay. Remember this isn't an open parkland where I can leave the tree to break apart gracefully and sit there as a decaying monolith till the end of days. It's in an extremely pedestrianised urban environment where everyones out to sew everyone. By knowing the extent will let me decide on what remedial works to undertake.

    Couldn't agree more!

    In full leaf the crown is a little thin but no more than expected with a tree of this age and location. For decompaction I recommended removing an area of the block paving from around the root plate and laying a porous surface material down. Doubt the council will go with it though.

    Looking at the advanced state of decay at present, a Picus scan would be very helpful in the determining the exact extent? I believe the positives would outway he negatives in this situation. There is no sign of pseudomonas (surprisingly) and its hard to track down the original fungi but prob Polyporus squamosus. I agree with the reduction/ weight reduction.

    Nice work chap. Looks like plenty of decent growth points to choose from.

    Hers a postcard from 1902 showing the tree in its youth.

    I recently did a survey for a local Town Council. This Horse Chestnut is a major landmark for the town. Its a real old veteran. Its on all the old postcards etc etc. Its growing in a heavily pedestrianised block paved area with a coffee shop and war memorial surrounding it. Its had alot of work done to it previously. Overall the tree is still in surprisingly good health showing minor deadwood and a bit of epicormic. The only thing that worries me is the extent of decay/hollow within the main stem. I recommended a deadwood and some decompaction work. I have also got John Harroway out this Tuesday to run his expert eye over it with his tomograph. A reduction looks likely? Just wondered what you guys thought?

    Trametes versicolor it is. Very common on on Prunus!

    I look forward to being 'slaughtered' by these anti ladder extremists!

    Certainly is. He's a good guy. Give him a bit of work occasionally.

    Couldn't agree more. Any professional arborist should be educating customers as to what right and wrong with things tree related.

    To be honest, most macrocarpas this size I work on are normally fells. It's nice when I can advise a client into keeping it and crown reducing it.
  17. T & C Tree Services
    A few more. . .
  18. T & C Tree Services
    Yes. Do you work local to me?
  19. T & C Tree Services
    Cheers chaps. . . I'll put some more up later. Just getting used to it all!
  20. T & C Tree Services
    I know. . . It was either a hard reduction to keep it or the customer was going to have it felled. :thumbdown:I know which one i prefer.
  21. T & C Tree Services
