  1. yeh man - foot tapper innit
  2. I feel a song coming on Stubby
  3. if you go for Hornbeam - Carpinus Betualus "Fastigiata" (photo attached) would be good for a medium sized garden, they get to about 40 ft. For large garden, use Common Hornbeam
  4. south Manchester or north - if your south I might be able to give you a hand. Im only working 2 days a week at the mo, and im from south cheshire
  5. the selfish gene
  6. Common lime = epicormic grandis its not a tough one, London Plane for me
  7. I took this photo of a slow worm in mid Jan in Devon, when the temperature was a mental 16 degrees c -far too early to come out of hibernation, its probably dead now
  8. Yes it would of helped, as the roots cant get a firm enough anchor on ground such as this. A better scenario, is when you have large rocks with deep fissures, then trees have a chance to get deep into these fissures and get a better anchor.
  9. im doing a key worker job part time at the moment - it will save the house
  10. I cant think of anything as such, however if you have any local clients who come in the vulnerable bracket and are self isolating, you could drop them an email to see if they are ok for essentials.
  11. Im at home studying for my B-TEC lvl 3 in being miserable
  12. phytopthora
  13. guying it will reduce the anal twitch by 50%
  14. Hi Line are a good company to work for Medlar
  15. Maybe - Many yrs ago when I did subsidence reports, The NHBC had a publication showing minimum clearances of trees from houses, to avoid direct damage. I haven't seen any revised additions for a long time.
  16. The tree being that close to the building may be causing direct physical damage to the property too
  17. My god sir. so you are right. Pleas forgive my secondary grammar -lol
  18. thanks for that Chris - saves me explaining. In a 10 % thin I wouldn't expect anything over 3" removed normally if they are rubbing. Out or the two, I would choose to remove the upper branch. With larger diameter branches that are supporting each other, I would hope they will fuse together eventually - not to be touched.
  19. Barachetta Stubbs old bean
  20. If the tree is older than the house then this could cause soil heave, if the tree is removed. It would depend on other factors too including what Mark said
  21. I loved Neil Pearts drumming and im really upset he is gone - I saw them on the tour of this vid I still have the ticket
  22. I don't think a 10% thin would harm the tree. Try to take rubbing branches as part of the thinning where possible. I remember from yrs ago from an AA report regarding the 1987 storm. Trees that had been crown thinned faired better than those that had not.
