Help identifying a tree in Winter

Pretty sure it is, although it's unusual in that it hasn't got thorns all over it! -

Very true... but we don't Please take in jest, as I said we do a lot of reductions and the double sided are so much better for cutting the tops down hard whilst struggling through repeatedly topped leylands. We do keep 3 or 4 sharp for the sides and trimming yew,thuja,lonicera etc

We do a LOT of hedge trimming and hedge reductions and the most useful advise i can offer is that if your right handed start the top of the hedge from the right as your body is designed to work this way around! If your left handed start the top from the left side! Sounds like common sense I know but the amount of people I've seen struggling doing it back to front over the years is unbelievable

To be honest they used to spend a lot of time roaming free around the living room rather than in their tank but that leads to other problems like thinking they can leap onto the Christmas tree and it will take their weight:001_huh:Mine also developed a taste for tinsel!

Nice looking lizard and tank Steve, we used to have a couple of green iguanas years ago but found the tank set up was a little too big for a two bedroom terraced house! (6'x6'x3') :001_smile:Now just have a 7ft common boa with just some strong branches to climb on as he kept trashing any live plants I put in!

Cheers guys unfortunately the CCTV wasn't clear enough to get the reg no but to be fair I would imagine treequip is right and it would have been cloned/stolen plates anyway. Insurance were actually very good as I was onto them instantly and they were as helpful as they could be, mr trees yes our guys left it unattended with the tools locked in it for less than ten minutes in a VERY public open spot by the doors but evidently nowhere is safe. Only good thing to come out of this was an excuse to replace the 201t with the 540xp

Do it all the time as it's just the way I've always done it plus the boss won't let me bolt anything to his chipper! (I'm 6' and don't find it particularly uncomfortable)
