  1. I suspect you had a relatively mild winter around your parts, the temperatures were not low enough or consistently low enough to kill most of the overwintering aphid eggs.
  2. I was thinking possibly wind scorch from that really cold spell 15 months ago, but you would expect other edge trees to have similar damage
  3. I looked at this but you are 100 miles from my home
  4. looks more like a moth caterpillar to me Mick - im not 100% though
  5. Hi Gary - so you think the problem has started from the branches and not from the roots. I would be tempted to peel back some dead cambium on the trunk
  6. George benson made it as a guitarist before this singing nonsence
  7. my fav flamenco guitarist
  8. Soil aeration would achieve instant soil compaction relief, then add much afterwards
  9. If you are in to RnB old school and blues you have probably heard this - if not you are in for a treat
  10. I cant get this on you tube - one of my fav Hendrix improvs https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2
  11. I have an eclectic taste in music - this one is an old school guitar master class from Ritchie Blackmore
  12. yes I should have considered that
  13. it was just a thought Stubby -There is a lot more shock absorption in a regular tyre compared to a solid one. perhaps science has brought us along way since yesteryear
  14. advanced shock absorbers needed for all cars ?
  15. following on from Mr Training above It sounds like your nearly level 4 as it stands so not a big step for you. Level 4 would make you more employable for sure
  16. forgive me - its perfectly safe not to use a tool strop!
  17. ive had one come off a twist lock crab !- without a strop it would only take a snatch from an ill behaved branch and its gone - as we know
  18. fair comment . Is it planning dept initially giving planning permission, then the Tree officer doing his bit? If so there should be some correspondence between the two?
  19. good cut - good example for the inexperienced - get a strop on ya saw though dude
  20. Is the property a relatively new build - say in the last 10 yrs or so? If this is the case I can understand the councils feelings on this. Tree there long before there was a house built
  21. Lantra PTI is always a good one to have
  22. It is certainly well mature enough for the dutch elm scolytus beetle to breed and infect the tree . It could be immune or just lucky so far it hasn't bee infected, It would be better propagating from cuttings than seed I think as genetically it would be identical to the parent tree. Also see this interesting link https://conservationfoundation.co.uk/projects/the-great-british-elm-experiment/
  23. What is the stem diameter
  24. great stuff - nice to see a healthy larger Elm. Do you have DED where you are or do you live in an isolated area
  25. excellent - I want some of what you are on :)
