    thanks for the above SP - what is your view on the following link from 1 month ago which shows concern regarding the Ancient Scots pines in Scotland https://inews.co.uk/news/scotland/scotlands-ancient-pine-forests-at-risk-disease-climate-warms/

    looks like a spruce, its either Norway spruce or sitka (sitka have longer needles than Norway) - it could be Dothistroma needle blight. I know Norway spruce can be affected I don't know about sitka . There is concern in Scotland about this disease which can attack scots pine. Current seasonal trends of warmer springs and wetter summers (in Scotland) have optimised the conditions for the disease

    An on site visit is by a tree surveyor/consultant is essential. We have to be careful not to make ourselves liable when commenting a subject as big as this. A lot of information is needed before any recommendations can be given. A site visit or several would be needed, and a liaison with a structural engineer too, amongst other things.

    Without seeing a pic , how about formative pruning/thinning the new growth carefully, to eventually achieve an even crown in many yrs to come. oh - yes to mulching too

    If I could add to this Gary - root kill the stump first and make the client aware of the damage that can happen from new shoots sprouting from the roots outside the influence of the stump killer

    This tree is fully mature. I have often found them with moderate to advanced decay at the base of he trunk at this age. (especially when they have large basal flares). Why don't you test bore the trunk at the base.

    Hi there,. You will not get a comprehensive clear answer to your question on this forum as a full investigation is needed. You need pay for a report which will need visits the site taking measurements, soil samples, liaising with a structural engineer etc. If you do this, find a company who has done such surveys before, and ask to see a copy of their professional indemnity insurance. You should find someone on Arbtalk willing to do this. It should be done properly so it will be expensive.

    I see it as an introduction. Good for new members starting out in arboriculture. A post that needs repeating once in a while.

    Hi Gary, I should have elaborated and kept to the topic of stability. The reason I would not call them a safe is they lose their tops when windy. As for stability - Ive noticed failure at the roots more often when the ground is saturated
  17. Paul Cleaver
    unless sheltered from the wind, I would never call a 25m row of Leylandii safe trees

    looks like growth cracks to me. The pods are part of the bark - no worries
  19. Paul Cleaver
    yes - if it doesnt have a ring its not the parasitic honey fungus type if I remember correctly

    I haven't done a tree/subsidence report for many years and before I do another one I want to take a 1 day subsidence course, but with which company? I have currently been looking at Treelife and the AA, can someone recommend one please. Regards Paul
