  1. I was going to say paint the leaves with round up but that could affect the parent tree as the are connected - you could paint the leaves with a contact weed killer though - but use a paint brush as spraying could kill parts of the lawn
  2. How is your recovery going?
  3. We had ants on the tree just before it shed - dealt with them - could they have caused the distress ? Cheers Andy no m8
  4. you should make yourself more clear joke
  5. team brief - risk assessment - make sure everyone is clear - monitor
  6. obviously has money to burn:confused1:
  7. why would anyone throw a saw out of the tree????
  8. I thought the fronds look too thin for meripilus -
  9. forget the eating, have a weekend off to recover is what you need
  10. look how long has it taken them to find out its different to a inonotus
  11. Pseudoinonotus dryadeus so is this different to inonotus dryadeus - surely not re named as such - that would be silly
  12. I will add - in winter if doing a lot of miles, keep a sleeping bag in your vehicle in case you get snowed in
  13. just use your Initials followed by "tree services" unless is spells something silly. I want a stake in the company if you use it though
  14. I heard story about someone who was but roping a hollow poplar once - the butt smashed into the trunk lower down like they do, and it failed at that point - dont know what happened to the climber
  15. you could always drill into the base of the trunk to see how bad they are - if there is only a little sound wood left, I would suggest rigging or topping them out in small sections - Its to reduce the sway of tree that happens when this is being carried out.
  16. looks like robiniea "frisia " to me - nasty cavity on a relatively small growing tree - I would fell
  17. I was climbing for a guy a few yrs ago - he had a pole mounted chainsaw and was crown lifting - he managed to cut a bt bundle cable with it - bad day! - the bill to him was £500.00
  18. 1 complete down and 2 hanging from the bracket dislodged from the wall - in 25 yrs so not bad really
  19. May I enquire why you want to leave (if you do?) after some climbing practice, maybe he is confident at heights now
  20. we have one in Nantwich - must be a story behind the name I have just found one http://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/innsigns/swan-with-two-necks.htm
