  1. Yeah like very one saying nice little job bit of rigging and find your feet. I'm local in the area if you wanted help just PM me cheers
  2. is that at badger holt on the moor? What the corwn like and dieback? whys it coming out?
  3. Hi to any one in the Devon area this is going to sound like it me but it not! My co worker on my arb team is thinking of leaving the company we work for to become freelance climber/groundy and we often wonder if the work is there between us? He's got all his climbing and rigging ticket and most of his felling ticket with about 6 years experience, good attitude and has only work to B.S. Is there work there in Devon? Cheers (And it really isn't for me)
  4. What a great video every well put together and nice work also
  5. Not today more like Tuesdays, Dead maccy in a public park and next to a school.
  6. I do a lot of street tree's and this would be news to me, they've probably order to many lights!
  7. Limes and Planes in more open areas with Ginko, birch, pear and field maple in smaller areas. Not Rowan or Japanese Cherry (look knarly) as they are so short lives and fall over the at the first sign of disease. Good pollard management can make a big difference giving befits of large stem and mature looking tree with small crown. But how many L.A acutely keep them in good cycle is a different question all together.
  8. That was smoothly done and nice solid rigging good watch
  9. good idea! I think I go though at least 1 every 2-3 month but that just might be my driving!
  10. Hi all found this at a base of a lime when I was removing basal suckers. I don't think it was attached at the base as it was resting in the basal sucker I think it had fallen from the crown but cant be sure. No clear attachment points any where I could see from the ground. Cheers Dave
  11. Myself in a break in the last winds in the winter after topping out a Scots pine
  12. The decay in the fork is advance my worry is that even with a reduction it might not take enough weight out but would like to hear your views, drop crotch does stand out as something that might work.
  13. yes sorry Perenniporia but that good to now about the ash cheers
  14. Yes thank you David, Just out of interest the reduction on the Robinia was in 2011 what the future management is another reduction on the books in the next few years? how effective is Rigidoporus ulmarius on Robinia?
  15. Hi all I put this post own it own thread to start off when i didn't have much information but have some good pic and would'nt mind your knowledge and expertise on my thought of managing this ash:blushing: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/tree-health-care/76140-inonotus-hispidus-ash.html
  16. I had another good old prod and tap and the decay a lot more developed then first thought. It also has heavy decay with a large cavity/crack on the the main fork at crown break (the bottom red circle) with this limb making up about 50% of the overall crown and also weighted out on the one side heavily on this limb. The top red circle is were the old fruiting body were found. The tree is on a bank with a fairly busy country lane and b.t line on the other side witch cant be seen in the photos. The option's i'm thinking are total remove of tree witch i'm not keen on at all. Heavy reduction to take the weight out but I don't think that it would reduce well. Or creating a native stick/poll by bring it down to just over the main fork were it has some point its could be cut back to "nicely":blushing: and making a nice habitat for the birds and beasts. But all thoughts are welcome.
  17. that helpful sloth cheers also does the worse decay always stay local to the fruiting bodies or can there be area within the tree with more decay but have no the fruiting bodies local to it? sorry about all the dumb questions just trying to build a better picture of this fungi
  18. Hi all i have a mature ash tree with Inonotus hispidus on the main stem. There seems to be evidence of the fruiting bodies showing for at least 3-4 year and the timber around has started to decay up the stem but still seems to be quite local around the fruiting bodies area. I now it can be quite effective decay fungus on ash but how fast are we talking just a ruff idea would be really help. Cheers all Dave
  19. good video pops very one worse nightmare!
  20. Great post Dan really good to see the view on it! looks like it would of been a nice little climbing before the failure
  21. Great thread the information is great I'm just really starting to get into my inspection and management of trees and this is really helpfull cheers
