One I was involved with planting at Moulton college and the other one is in Bedgbury pinetum.

Pretty rare, I have seen two,'Gold rush 'I think.

I have had a good look at it and seems ok, very odd. But three times is too many for me, must be faulty imo. I will have to get someone more qualified than me to have a look and get in touch with the supplier. It has happened and could be a big prob.

I 've been using mine for two months now and like it, but have had my right hand leg loop pop open three times now,twice up the same tree; which shouldn't happen surely? Anyway all I can guess is that my flipline and tool strop have caught the catch. Has anyone else had similar experience or have I got a dodgy clip on my leg loop??

Gretton brook road traveller site(middle age travellers),I am sure they would gladly take it,it is on the way to gretton.

I lived in a 16c farm house, had rats, got a cat,problem solved. I think they have a place. I also had tree creepers, lesser spotted peckers etc. I do agree that they are a problem though.

I quite like Bonzais(mutate and survive)

I think the way forward is to plan new developments with trees as part of the original planning including the ones that are there already(of course). Surely we need to be putting in foundations with planting plans included. Ok I am a dreamer, but is it really that difficult, architects need to take a step forward in the way they look at things(not all of them). This would also provide lots more work for all of us:thumbup1:.sorry if I drifted away from the thread.

If I had my way every town would have an arboretum in its streets, with careful planning, as in suitable species for what went where of course.

Ginko, ornamental pear and apple and fox glove (Paulownia tomentosa),are all good imo, just for a start.

One day is just a taster, I see something I have missed on every visit:thumbup: the Ginko and weeping Beech are just a couple of my favourites aswell as the ones that Paul has already mentioned.

Phytophthora? Perhaps.

I had the injector pump go on mine,a very common fault with duratorque engines.Hopefully not this with yours as it cost about a grand to fix.
