    Steve, just ask them for conformation by email, that you are covered by their professional indemnity insurance.
  2. Paul Cleaver
    Regarding Professional indemnity insurance, will your insurance company be happy with BTI? They should be happy with PTI.

    A favourable breeze should relieve the sawdust problem
  4. Paul Cleaver
    They charge the electric companies for any work on any tree, which involves going on their land, even if it involves just having a banksman on the canal side for safety reasons, or blowing a bit of sawdust off the tow path. As Stubby said - just crack on

    We could do with members posting their pictures of larger ADB felled trees as Jonny has done, and see if they are similar characteristics.

    cockspur thorn for me

    It looks like Kretz but I have never seen it so High up the trunk. One pic shows it on a closed wound so I would guess it could be bitumen painted on the wound and on the crack.

    why is it you can not find toad monthly on the shelves in newsagents? guess it must be a local publication

    Its a young tree. I feel its better starting afresh than trying to save a tree that would need a staged root pruning regime over time, that may not work in the long run

    That Is bad! I think I would take it out and replace it personally

    I had allergic reaction to something I ate or touched many years ago. Imagine turning up at potential clients properties looking like a hamster!!!

    That would be a last resort.I was just considering a worse case scenario. Bees nest in a cavity in a tree, that cant be rescued. Close to the nest, there is also a progressing crack in a large branch, expanding and contracting in the wind, which is overhanging a house.

    I can see what you are saying Edward but he could have at least mentioned the crack and explained why this was not an issue, if that is what he believed. An interesting comment regarding wild bees (honey bees). I have been told by bee keepers that the vibrations from machinery can excite them, so that would obviously be chainsaws and chippers in tree surgery. Find below some interesting facts about what can trigger honey bee aggressiveness. Having read this I would conclude the following. Do not work next to honey bee nests/hives until the onset of frosts in late Autumn and Winter, when they will have died. If emergency or high risk work needs to be carried out beforehand, then the nest should be professionally removed or killed.

    The report does not mention the sheer crack on the trunk, the formation of which, is likely to have formed from the depletion of strength of the dead or dying root/roots highlighted in your photograph!
  23. Paul Cleaver
    I did not know this. Out of genus list I recognise, I see Lilac, Privet, Jasmin, Osmanthus, Phillyrea and Forsythia. Worth looking out for symptoms on these shrubs too.
