  1. I was asked to prune this old apple the other day it has 2 fungi species attacking it, one inonotus hispidus the other im unsure about.
  2. my lads new guitar Schecter Synyster gates custom s with sustainiac pick up
  3. jews ear? discoloured
  4. Thanks for your imput guys
  5. That would be early May is not unknown, we've had that discussion on the forum a few times down the years. did you reach a conclusion David?
  6. photo taken a year or two ago on 3rd May - its the earliest I have ever seen it out - has anyone seen one this early
  7. whoops :lol:
  8. is all that stand larch? if not do any other species have it - it could be PR - I think you should repot it just in case as PR loves larch - if it is control measures will need to be put in place ASAP
  9. did you consider felling this with a silky Steve?
  10. growlers are definitely on topic
  11. good day today - bought this bikers jacket - mint £20.00
  12. yesterday went up town looking for a new guitar for my lad on his forthcoming birthday he want this one (gulp) Schecter Synyster Gates Custom-S - Sustainiac - Rich Tone Music bought valentines flowers, card and a bottle of wine for wifey - (she will find it this morning - ive got to go to work in a mo)
  13. I don't know - if I think on I will ask him next time I see him
  14. I know a guy who worked at kew gardens many yrs ago who used to fell mature trees by cutting the roots by hand and mounding the excess soil infront of the leaning side of the tree thus snapping the rootplate off
  15. good stuff
  16. that was his first one - you only make that mistake once
  17. got to be adaptive growth - a bracket fungus would grow horizontally
  18. you said very few people pass under it so crown reduce by 2m - consider taking a little more out of that low large branch which is asking to tear out at the trunk
  19. I also liked the shallow angle on your face cut around 11.50 on vid which allowed the limb to snap off early resulting in landing flat on the ground causing less damage to grassed area - good practice and safe in some situations
  20. I liked it when you don't undercut every side limb just because its on camera, and you don't need to. I also liked the double fell of two big limbs at 6.50 on vid - obviously one was snagged in the other - perfectly executed and safe in this situation
  21. pics needed before I say anything
  22. if the stumps are fairly small - say up to 9" diameter then a criss cross pattern should suffice any bigger then score around the edges as said
  23. good winter job for 1 climber in his prime:thumbup1:
  24. its slow and cumbersome but im sure that will improve in time. I can see the boom getting bashed on some jobs.
