    Halesia monticola - good call, trouble is the bark doesn't quite make it, could be a hybryd?

    quality of these photos not great, they were taken 25yrs ago

    my uncle transplanted 30 fully mature scots pines from the woods outside Paris to the new Paris library using this method, in the 90's. root ball 3mtrs diam, 25mtrs height. His prize project, i have some photos somewhere.

    yew is great at any diameter. holly can be tricky, needs to be well seasoned, but can have lovely spalted coloring.

    more likely it's grafted and possibly severed just above the graft leading to multiple regen..

    have to admit doing that myself, when you have done a good job, it should look like you were never there, but then the customer is asking what have you actually done then? .

    had a colony last year, harmless enough, and of interest to the kids.

    10' 3", but it may have grown a bit since you took those pics.

    weeping pear.

    as i am now officially retired, i am looking to pass on some of my customers to someone who can do quality hedge trimming. i tend to take time and round off hedges rather than do a quick square top. based in wreham area, anyone interested pm me.

    been using echo long reach and multi-tool for years, great balance, lighter than still, defo recommended.

    looks like greengage to me.

    i am surprised no-one has mentioned privet - it is by far the fastest growing, and also one of the cheapest, plant 3ft whips 6" apart and you'll have a 6' hedge in no time. of course, if funds allow, by anything else already at 6' plus.

    oops, yes, i stand corrected, not sure what i was thinking.

    jap knotweed doesn't flower, we only have the male plant to deal with. is this a tree or shrub, pics of the stem/trunk will help.

    birch cherry cherry crinkle-leaf tree
  21. treesrus
    first thought birch, but annual rings in first pic too big, so now i think poplar, but then that greenish spalting suggests holly.

    i've seen acers that size go for over £150.-, depends whether garden center, or nursery, or B&Q! important to get the roots wet, in a good quality compost, especially at this time of year. they are very tolerant of being moved, allthough the grafted ones seem to be less happy. to add extra value, bonsai them.

    i got a superb industrial angle poise at a boot sale for a fiver, has a reach of about 4', with a 100w spot in it. it's mounted on a shelf behind my lathe and it's all i need, hollowing too. check out ebay and your nearest bootsales. p.s. industrial means sufficiently robust.

    `as its waterside, stem injection with Glyphosate. digging it up is risky, if you leave any roots behind it will come back. and just one example doesn't neccesarily mean it's the only one. i've been dealing with a site for 20years, most of it i've got but every so often another one sprouts somewhere else. Defra did a study that showed when buried it can reappear at least 20+ years later. any waste must be burned.

    bay laurel and yew are too slow.
