  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. try Glendale m8
  7. Roger Phillips Trees in Britain, Europe and North America
  8. I see it as an introduction. Good for new members starting out in arboriculture. A post that needs repeating once in a while.
  9. 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
  10. unless sheltered from the wind, I would never call a 25m row of Leylandii safe trees
  11. looks like growth cracks to me. The pods are part of the bark - no worries
  12. yes - if it doesnt have a ring its not the parasitic honey fungus type if I remember correctly
  13. Lobed needle ends suggest fir to me
  14. Ok thanks for your imput guys
  15. 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
  16. love it http://woodworkingcrazy.net/index.php/simply-beautiful-removes-growth-rings-to-reveal-the-original-sapling/
  17. yes a lime coppice
  18. difficult one - I'm wondering if you have some beetle larvae which burrows inside the base of the leaf stalk , affecting the phloem ??? - its a long shot
  19. waxwings in spring
  20. yes and write to them recorded delivery so they have to sign they received the letter as proof of notification
  21. current dry summer seems its favourable for the species
  22. ive been to Glastonbury 3 times - I wish I was there tonight, watching on telly - the fu fighters were predictably AWESOME
  23. bitten last week on the hand - after 12 hrs my hand looked like a rubber glove filled with water!!
