  1. I'm gutted, wish I'd seen this thread a week ago! We just took down a walnut over a house which was was laden, but didn't know this was when you pickle em. Trunk was a it dissapointing as well as only had about 3" of dark wood at base of 2'6" dbh ☹️ Wondered if it still worth milling? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  16. Yes it diid, was coppiced in 2011, vigorous regen as you'd expect and first showed signs June 2014 and succumbed sometime in the last year. Lots of saplings leaves around here have wilted leaves and lesions now. It's about 10 miles south east of Ashwellthorpe wood and in coniferised adjacent to a plantation that was planted up in 2003 with Dutch imported stock, of which about 20% ash which is mostly dead. Many were showing advanced signs of dieback in 2013 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Pics would help Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. Found this polyporos squamous on an ash coppice stop that has died due to ash dieback, not a clue on the weeuns beneath it though Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  23. Ribbed not robbed! I may live in a caravan but I'm not a thief[emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. No worries! The robbed pipe I'm on about is the stuff they bury when filling ditches/doing culverts not the flexi water pipe, alkethene water pipe (blue stuff) would work for the joiner and won't melt (we used it for the connectors on geodesic dome and had to put it in boiling oil to flatten it so should cope with steam no prob[emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. Yes put a tunnel over a baited trap, preferably on a horizontal trunk in a more open area of wood as they favour these areas for ground foraging and love charging around chasing one another along these low 'bridges' . You can also strap a box to a tree with a Fenn trap in it (a la Kania) but I haven't had as much success (lots of mice though[emoji15], and wire it round trunk as the squirrel do chew through baler twine etc) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
