    Ive tried them and they are good! Also field blewits are a good munch too

    My advice would be to ring bark with chainsaw, its more cost effective than drilling eco plogs and better for the environment than adding chemicals especially so in a SSSI. If it looks unsightly simply wipe some mud into the cut and you would hardly notice.

    I think its irrelavant to hows it being funded the OP wants advice around how to deal with the issue
  4. Treeation
    Sorry, thought you were refering to doing level 4!
  5. Treeation
    If you find it boring I dont think its the right move for you

    Yep, inside a dutch barn, panels overlaping at ends only by a few cms for strength, fencing supported by deer fencing stakes and bound on with rope to posts
  7. Treeation
    Ok, I have gone for a heris fencing square (2 panels on each side). Pallets underneath the logs, and an internal cross of vertical pallets that all meet up in the middle as well.

    PTI would do it I would of thought, but you cant beat level 4 for backing up all the gaps in knowedge and to improve confidence in decision making
  9. Treeation
    create some inner cavities with pallets stacked vertically so air can get to middle

    Been out multiple times myself to Cadiz and Jerez as my daughters mum is Spanish, have to agree the above....no sign of any decent arbwork to see of
  11. Treeation
    Looks really good, good content, well layed out and great presentation

    How about frozen water in the woody component of roots and stems possibly increasing the brittleness of structural integrity?
  13. Treeation
    really! dont think ive burnt it, just sold it on
  14. Treeation
    I have found sorbus to be pretty dense and would defo go in the hardwood pile, willow and pop go in the softwood section too
  15. Treeation
    need better pic
  16. Treeation
    ok that might change things abit! I dont know too much about French fungi, cant imagine it being hugely different to what we have
  17. Treeation
    where in the country is the tree?
  18. Treeation
    Bit of a stab in the dark, but wondering if the higher bracket on the trunk is an old dead oak polpore, Piptoporous quercinus, a rare species causing heartwood rot
  19. Treeation
    the basal looks like possible old bracket of Inonotus dryadeus
  20. Treeation
    Amazing contrast!

    Would have thought the action of chainsawing would cause a small amount of damage to the cambium which wouldn't encorage bud development - just thinking back to the experiment of axes vs chainsaws on pollarding, where axe work was mre likely to produce more shoots due to less vibrations ---if I remember correctly!
  22. Treeation
    Thats a beech tree bud, some type of ganoderma
  23. Treeation
    Haha! It totally is!
  24. Treeation
    I would have thought removal of fruit bodies might well accelerate the degrading of lignin and cellulose as the mycelium will have to extract more energy from the wood and thus accelerate decay to form new fruiting bodies.....speeding up potential failure Also, decomposition of deadwood on the woodland floor helps to develop mychorrizal fungi that can help to defend trees against active pathogens such as Armillaria mellea, this can be illustated with the old classic scenario of the over manicured garden where more losses maybe expected by the pathogen, compared to a mature woodland where only the few, weakest specimens succumb to Armillaria

    Sounds like you have a good plan! enough money to set up, good level of related experience, good contacts and a good attitude! Go for it! My recommended books would be: Essential Pruning Techniques - by George Brown/Tony Kirkham of Kew - covers all shrubs and trees species you are likely to encounter Trees their Naturual history - Peter Thomas - Excellent beginner book for a better understanding of tree biology BS3998 - BRISTISH STANDARDS FOR TREEWORK Diagnosis of ill-health in trees - Forestry Comission - Covers Pests and diseases The tree climber's companion - Jeff Jepson - Tree climber's manual Field guide for Visual Tree assessment - Mattheck - start learning about tree morphology, it will make you a better climber and help to prescribe the best reccomendations
