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

the grooved decking that is usually available is, for many people, popular because it is fashionable. practically, there are some problems, as regards slippery, grooved boards have only half the contact with footwear, so solid gives better friction, esp if treated with water resistant decking oil. also in time, the grooves in decking will fill with moss, and debris, (as the grooves tend to hold water), requiring regular pressure washing. flat decking does look better as the quality of the wood is visible, i always recommend doing it so, but it is getting difficult to find decking with aa flat side, (Huws Gray have it), most sources do decking grooved on both sides!

last one not a goat willow - wrong leaf. looks more like Magnolia
-
glad to see you,ve used proper planks, rather than the usual (but tacky) ribbed decking.
-
and what it looks like today

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..

Reducing/shaping trees without an eye on the ground.
treesrus replied to karl1991's topic in Climbers talk
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? . -
put my back out, so i need someone pronto to take over my hedge trimming work, with a view to a permanent basis. wrexham area.
-
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.
-
thanks, but i need someone to carry on the good work.
-
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
-
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.
