Quote -Completely meaningless, and would certainly cause problems for you in your hypothetical court case. I would explain in more detail in a real court case. Quote-I suspect you are talking about usage, or 'target' value, of a particular area or zone, or at least you should be. Cant fault you on the above Quotation Quote-How do you reduce the level of risk to a high risk area posed by a tree tree that is well adapted to its location, without any defects, and not likely to fail before the next inspection. Are you suggesting that included bark is not a defect in trees? If so, then I disagree. If this is a general statement, then get back on topic as its irrelevant in this thread. Can you please explain what a tree tree is? I do feel a little let down by your grammar Mr C.

Quote -trees provide a wide variety of benefits to society ●trees are living organisms that naturally lose branches or fall Immaterial in the context of the discussion. Quote-the overall risk to human safety is extremely low. It is, but the risk can be considerably greater depending on the "defect" found Quote - tree owners have a legal duty of care And in doing so, will go to reasonable lengths to make this so, by calling on the service of a tree surveyor/consultant. Quote - tree owners should take a balanced and proportionate approach to tree safety management. that's wishy washy - In court they don't like wishy washy especially if there has been a serious accident. It can be a lottery in court even if you know you are right! Its more about who can convince Judge and Jury who is more believable. There was a case where the defendant (a tree consultant who wont be named) decided to represent himself against professional advise, thinking he would win. The prosecutions barrister did what barristers do best and won the case. I wouldn't like an inclusion failure on a tree in an area of risk, on a tree I have surveyed.

blue footed - Ive seen them in South America

this is a butter lettuce. Its green and ovoid, there are lots of different types, all of which have their own personality. Joking apart - Its banter that's all

Imagine if you are asked to do some soil aeration to relieve soil compaction under some Oak trees. You do a PH test on the soil and find its in the PH range for black truffles! ." Mycorrhiza is good for tree roots and reduces carbon emissions sir, would you like us to inoculate this into the soil together with the aeration?"

Joining in the fungi: black truffle grown in UK for first time | Environment | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Dog unearths Périgord black truffle successfully grown in Wales, the furthest north the delicacy has ever been found

If I lived further down south and had some land on chalk or limestone I would be taking a PH test of the soil

I don't know much about them but you can get the standard truffle in the uk but in france they have a black truffle which us superior therefore more expensive. This truffle can be introduced by soil inoculation. Surely a niche market. I want a jar of truffles every year off you as commission if you go for it and it takes off :)

Lettuce photo of the month in the new vegan section...………….. ok I will shut up now

I think we should have a vegan section , im sure it would be very popular

I should have said - Cheshire -

Has any woodland owners considered growing truffles. Your soil would have to be slightly alkaline. I think the best truffles are the black type, and the climate in the UK is more suited now than it has been in the past for growing this type of truffle.

I am looking for some groundman work next week to tie me over until I start my full time surveying job sometime soon. I have CS 30/31 my own PPE and chainsaws, Utility Authorization on SP and WPD if needed and my driving licence permits me towing trailer chippers etc. I have a lot of experience in the Arb industry. Based in South Cheshire Many thanks Paul tel 07782 081 394

No ring / collar on stem so not the aggressive parasitic type. There is a type of honey fungus with no ring on the stem called Armillaria tabescens which is described as paracitic/ saprophytic. I originally thought this was just a saprophyte hence the edit , it could be this or something else. Armillaria tabescens WWW.MESSIAH.EDU

@TIMONMyself and @Steve Bulman have agreed, if you don't like the drumming in this your banned for 1 month

Don't worry about the wetwood its of no concern in itself. What is of concern is the included bark that Garry mentioned. I would reduce the height of the tree to reduce the possibility of the tree splitting at the inclusion. The tree is relatively young and has a lot of growing to do so the landowner will have to expect further damage to the wall. Get a suitably qualified arborist to look at the tree in person

I wouldn't say numerous - not uncommon

Out of the 2 options you give, it would be considerably better for the tree to cut just above the previous old pruning cuts ( so that would be cutting the new growth only, to 2 -3 " above the old pruning points).
