  3. there you go AA have them in stock Claus Mattheck: The Body language of Trees Encyclopedia
  4. I bought the new re vamped edition in the spring for about £70.00 - surely they will continue this edition for a long time as its essential arb literature. I bought it from the AA

  6. seen some big ones at Kew
  7. is it a fell any dummy can do- if so he might realise this and go for the cheapest
  8. leaving the stumps in may attract honey fungus - laurel would be my choice as its quick growing and less susceptible to honey fungus than other hedge species , this is providing the school does not have really young pupils - laurel is poisonous of course

  15. yes its looks like it to me I would take a closer look and establish how extensive the decay is - if not too bad, you may consider reducing it
  16. I cant tell from the pic what that is - there does seem to be some fibre buckling above the area which is not good
  17. you should have been a grey lag
  18. are you a goose?
  19. helping on a bat survey last month at this old brewery in Manchester - like going back in time
