Just make sure there's no metalwork in it!
...and they aren’t hollow! -
We get similar up here in Scotland in close proximity of distilleries.
Apparently here it’s a fungus that feeds on the ethanol released in the distilling process, but a quick google tells me it can also occur due to natural fermentation in bogs....- 4

Me too [emoji33] -

The ecological report will likely state that the site has been prepped for planning with habitats removed and as a result they will put additional constraints/mitigation in place to counter said loss of habitat.
This will seem overkill but they can only assume that it was valuable habitat that should have been retained, hence it’s preparatory removal. -
But if the smaller hedgerow trees are suckers/clones, then all the trees are connected via root mass below ground.
If the smaller trees have died of DED, is it not only a matter of time before the bigger trees are affected too? Will the disease not spread below ground too, it isn’t only transferred via the beetle is it? -
I don't pretend to know a lot about this subject but could it be a cultivar , like a fern leaved beech , is there a graft line ?
Double checking the difference, the way it is named in the book does indeed suggest it is a cultivar rather than a variant.
I didn’t notice a graft line, but if they are done well it shouldn’t really be that noticeable. -
I agree, it does sound promising [emoji1303]
I would have checked the books first but all mine are in storage at the moment, and there is very little comes up even if you google that specifically.
I will try and take another visit soon and take a better look at the tree! -
Those leaves are very unusual; I wonder if the tree is virused or if some other external agent is affecting the leaf shape.
Zelkova? Elm? (does any elm have a smooth grey bark?)
Virus was my initial thought, but it was the whole tree in its entirety, & showing no signs of illness which put me off that option. -
I’d say 100% if it wasn’t for this lack of response!
Huge grey smooth bulbous trunk.
Quite possibly planted as a specimen many years back as it’s in the grounds of a large country house.
Any ideas even to the term given to this spiralled leaf type so I can explore that route?!
If not I guess I’ll be going back to explore some more, plus try and collect some nuts and take some cuttings! -
Anyone got any ideas?!

Just let the cones dry naturally, and as they open you will get hundreds of seeds from each.
My neighbour has a young tree in her garden, grown from seed but not sure what the germination process was.
I’d guess like ash, fresh seeds will be easier to get to sprout. Dried/older seeds will take much longer.
Almost certain they will require several weeks of cold stratification, and then some very tender nurturing if you do get any to sprout! -

Surely if the tree has been cut down and the stump poisoned to kill it and prevent any regrowth, then there would be no need to pile the foundations or grind the stump. Even splashing out on a few ecoplugs would be cheap enough and demonstrate it has been done “properly”...

Before I got in to trees I spent 6 years working for the same company both Bruce and Ed had previously worked for running jungle expeditions. Mostly in Belize, but also did a few in Borneo and one trip Ghana.
For me it started as a child with the original - Bush Tucker Man, Les Higgins, and then Ray. Have to agree Bear always seems to be playing up to the cameras and suggesting some really silly options that really aren’t the best option if your real priority is survival!- 3

First and second ones say 45 and 55 with an arrow. The others it seems they have changed their mind on the direction of flow and crossed the arrow out and rewritten it pointing the opposite direction.
What are the blue pipes?
They look like hand rails, so i can’t imagine what it’s all supposed to mean! [emoji38] -
Why the need for insurance?
As I understood, as a free lance, you are still being employed by the company, so covered by their insurance. If you were subcontracted in to the job then you would need your own insurance... is this not the case?- 6

Like all things they can be done well and look great or they can look a bit naff.
Not very good work going on here ...... but each to their own.
Not only that they have used the image from the back of the hoodie, just moved the chainsaw - it’s not even one of them!- 1

I’d say it most probably will - when I was working down the road from you, nearly all the bigger elms I removed were hollow or hollowing in the stem, especially if they have been topped out/pollards as you suggest. How long have they been dead?
