  1. Love the necks on Ibanez, easy to move around on them - well the one I tried anyway
  2. There are a number of possible reasons for your Oaks plight. Had it been watered properly at the nursery, and has it had enough water since it was taken out of its vase and planted In the ground. Was the vase small and the tree roots "root bound" (a mass of roots growing around in a circle) Were the tree root subject to weevil damage or some other pest in the nursery. Have you planted it properly - ie at the correct depth and healed it in properly so there are no air pockets in the soil. Looking at it - I would take it back to the place you bought it from and try and get them to swap it for another one, having said you have planted it the right depth and watered it and mulched it etc
  3. I think (I hope) he is having a laugh
  4. Just get your head down and ram them into your brain. Collage helped for me. We had to learn about 10 per week, with a test the following week. You will remember 90% of them for the rest of your life. You must learn the Dawn Redwood first - Metasequoia glyptostroboides. I seen middle aged ladies buckling at the legs with the mention of this one
  5. Wow - Its the water uptake that's the main issue - bet a broadleaf wouldn't have survived
  6. If the void between the undamaged bark is small enough and the tree has the vitality to bridge the gap in the next growing season then its possible - lucky the trees were young.
  7. Wow - Its a pimped up version of White Pops and Aspen and their varieties of mixed hybrids
  8. Ive just got the YMCA song in my head now - dam it
  9. It survives because it has stored energy that will be used to produce branches and leaves again
  10. I don't think is too advanced - good vid about mycorrhiza mainly. In the vid I posted the amazing thing is, despite the stump having NO LEAVES its still alive!!!! I think you are right about the implications of drill and fill on tree stumps (with root graft potential). Worth considering In some situations
  11. The Stump That Didn’t Die WWW.MSN.COM Through underground connections with its neighbors, it somehow stays alive. What does that say about the concept... Interesting
  12. interesting job - what bats are involved -by the size of the gap - pips ?
  13. My thoughts Repeat the email 1 week after the first one. Photos taken a must. I once found some species of stags horn beetle in some dead elms once so be careful.
  14. only 33 degrees here today, Brrrr I nearly had to put a jumper on
  15. she could have fed it on the balcony ?
  16. Genword you should really start to study trees properly your inexperience is obvious. Why don't you go to collage for a year or two
  17. He makes me laugh and he is pro Brexit - he is about the best we have got at the moment so it will have to do this made me laugh when I saw it at the time
  18. both native in hotter countries so better conditions for them at the moment I suspect
  19. Oaks do this but they always do it mid summer. Having an extra flush of leaves on the outer branches during weather like this is counter productive in some ways. Sure you get more photosynthesis but the outer leaves of the crown will be shut down to reduce water loss (respiration). I suspect its just to replace any leaves that have been lost already due to P&D etc
