    getting one is worth a thought - at a utilities meeting a few months ago - someone somewhere had hit a LV cable in the utility arb world. As said, gradually more and more are going underground. I wonder how many accidents it will take before the arb industry take note.

    Gradually more and more electric cables that run along our streets and country lanes are being put underground. I was wondering do any of you who do stump grinding, carry a CAT scanner to avoid a possible dangerous and expensive encounter.

    I was thinking of doing the level 6 myself but by the sound of the work load, it will not be in the near future

    not looking good - have you got a probe to test the extent Of the decay?

    check under the bark for black "bootlaces" or white a Mycelium sheet - any presence of either would be consistent with honey fungus. are there any other trees or shrubs nearby with these symptoms - are there any old dead stumps nearby - the disease can spread from infected hosts through the ground.

    Are there any other brackets situated around the base of the trunk or are they localised as shown in the pic.

    the 2nd one does look poplar like - a hybrid perhaps
  16. Paul Cleaver
    that's a swearing job for me - if you have the chance of another well placed limb, use a 2nd anchor point - but make sure your rope is long enough.

    Hi Sadie, The decay in the trunk is of most concern here. If left the tree will continue to grow until there will be too much stress on the tree and there will be a failure at its weakest point. Considering its position this should not be allowed to happen in the interests of Health & Safety and to help preserve its longevity . I glad you like the tree and both issues could be addressed by reducing it in size. As said get an Arborist to inspect the tree as this is not possible from what can be seen from the armchair.
