Pic 3 is Kretzschmaria Deusta decay.

Wouldn't Polyporus be on a stalk? Or is there one and I can't see it from here!

Standard practice would be firstly to employ a consultant who would inspect the trees as a group and write a report, his report would contain recommendations for any remedial work.

The "tree surgeon" would then be employed to carry out the work to the consultants recommendation.

Following this procedure will ensure you have acted as a "reasonable and prudent landowner" which you are required by UK law.

You know your a long way up when it takes a count of 3 for the branch to hit the deck.... Definitely one of the tallest trees I've taken down.

 

Big poplar we took down. Ben Saxton did the first day I finished off!

that would have had my brown eye winking

jesus! what do you think that would cost?

would it cost that much more than a standard wire core, even if it cost 150 it would be nice to know your cant cut throu it

the dacay looks exactly like a beech we felled recently it had kretzch

ive cut sycamores and left a 2 foot stump and they grew again, imposible to kill them tree must have been dying before you cut it, kretzch, armilaria?

someone needs to start making titanium cored fliplines you wont cut throu that !

very fresh northerly wind here, snow in may is bonkers!

We use stihl semi sinthetic the green one and mix @ 40:1, got a fs450 clearing saw theys had its brains revved out for the last 5 years and stil a strong machine with good compreshion! Same mix goes in huskys and stihl with no trouble

Had mate with brand new ms660 ran on stihl RED standard oil and siezed up so I dont use it.

any modern sinthetic or semi 2sroke oils will all perform the same
