You get something like this.I personally hate this. "I know I can rely on a few good friends to share this" - not a chance from me.

the spider caught a fly

Some hybrids can look very similar - I don't know the difference with some of them personally
-
The house foundation type and depth need to be clarified before the trees are blamed, however NHBC standards were not around in 1904

Any ideas peeps what tree this is?
Paul Cleaver replied to Bootroyd's topic in Tree Identification pictures
no white on underside of leaves bro -
Do you love it or hate it?!
Paul Cleaver commented on Caroline Vickers, Barcham Trees's blog entry in Barcham Trees
I like them, very distinctive -
I saw an "apple" camera car the other day in Wales, its probably old news - a rival to google? or an exclusive for apple mac users.

Most expensive single tree removal you have done ?

Their must be a few on here that made a killing in the 1987 storm down south -

Big Sycamore was about 1.5k 26 yrs ago took us a bout a week in all -
at 10foot DBH I would say up to 800 is possible
-
Well you put 2 and 2 together
-
Agreed - Get on it ASAP Evan
-
its nice thought Ben - could be worth a try? In the above photo are you suggesting a 2 phase reduction? I personally would not be happy with that with the position of that HV line
-
had to be something Evan
-
I should have added to my previous reply, The tree looks in decline physiologically, and its going to need a pollard so it misses the HV line if it colapses. I don't think the odds would be in its favour to survive this
-
No. Look at the decay and the base of the tree. I think this has come up from the roots. Then look at the shear crack that has developed from the lack of strength in the roots putting pressure on the trunk. The lean of the tree compounding the problem further
-
Tree roots come up against stones/ rocks and try to grow around them. If you have too many stones and rocks then the roots cant get the depth they want to, to gain a decent anchorage. This is even more of an issue with a leaning tree which would need even thicker structural support roots for anchorage. The bulbous bottoms on the main structural support/ anchor roots are roots that have thickened up in response to the trees needs such as extra support needed for the tree to withstand wind load, sometimes combined with other factors like leaning trees, insufficient support in the existing ground conditions and where there is decay in the trunk and/or main anchor roots
-
I will add - the less knots in the timber the better
-
Its a shame Evan. Every good surveyor/consultant knows that stoney ground is the worse type of soil for tree roots. Trees on soils like this often give subtle clues regarding their stability. The trees life could have been prolonged considerably with a crown reduction. Its a valuable tree.
-
Ok obviously you will contact them regarding this. Send them the pics
-
You see that crack up the centre on the trunk? That's where it will go - It needs sorting out sooner rather than later believe me
-
That is dangerous and its going to take out that HV line and pole mounted substation. You need to ring the DNO - they will organise it to be felled at no charge t yourself. What area are you in.

How come the Qualification level does not reflect in the pay scale
