    when surveying trees/powerlines on open fields - depending how the person approaches me, I sometimes tell them dead pan " Surveying for proposed wind farm site"

    I would let the stubborn twat do it whilst recapping my first aid strategy

    Not convinced m8 - the pattern of the branch death doesn't look right to me. If no critters, drought damage as mentioned, or some fungal disease we haven't covered

    Segovia playing?

    one of my favourite programs in the 70s - out of town with jack Hargreaves - im sure im not alone

    I don't think so Rushes. Honey fungus tends to pick off odd trees now and again - not all the trees at once. The usual scenario is a dead tree or stump invested by HF, then the rhizomorphs spread from the primary source though the ground picking off odd trees

    spot treat it with glyphosate and repeat every year until its gone. There is only so much stored energy available in the root system, once this is depleted, it dies

    thanks Steve. I may start up my own business again in the future so I will save this topic

    have a close look on live branches for any mites or aphids - the mites will be considerably smaller than the aphids. If you find some take a photo and post on here

    Paul Cleaver replied to cship's topic in Hedgelaying

    It might be a good idea to clear it off for a year or two so any new growth lower down on the hedge can grow properly in full light. Its not a situation I have any experience with, but that's what I would do

    guinness in Ireland - oh - the preparation is a work of art - My misses asked for a dash of blackcurrent - silence beheld the pub
  21. Paul Cleaver
    agreed - and working keeps you healthy if its physical

    looks like a greater black spruce bark aphid
  23. Paul Cleaver
    Yes they do damage spruce trees, they are sap suckers. With such a heavy infestation they could kill small trees and weaken the larger trees. You could spray the small trees with a current approved pesticide, the larger trees will just have to sit it out and you can hope their predators can control the infestation

    Oh yes - following on from Big J post - I got a surveying job back in 2013 thanks to you
