    Good job my trees aren't bigger otherwise I'd be very tempted...

    I've got the Nightsearcher Trio - very happy with it. Big handle & carry strap. Bright enough for lamping bunnies with and solidly built

    I notice that after being "restrained" by the customer he was treated in intensive care - they must have beaten the s out of him. Scary stuff, though

    Nuts!

    Something Class A, I expect...

    Joined today by an alder: which was shortly behind this crab apple: Will do a further inspection tomorrow as some of the other species aren't too far behind
  7. spandit
    First alder spotted above tube height today and on closer inspection, there was another one

    I use Tegera 17 gloves from Cromwell. https://www.cromwell.co.uk/EJE9611708P Just thrown out my first pair and been using them hard for about two years

    Just wondered if enough compression might help

    Won't the cricket bat companies be interested?

    Would an iron hoop like on a cartwheel stop them splitting?
  12. spandit
    D'oh! Didn't see those...

    I'd guess goat willow, salix caprea

    I've no idea. We have two chestnut trees and haven't had a nut from either of them
  15. spandit
    Don't get the nuts, mind
  16. spandit
    OK, for you, I'll do it for £50...
  17. spandit
    It is prunus avium, please a stamped address envelope and your £15 processing fee so I can send the points
  18. spandit
    Nope. It is prunus (and the clues are there...)

    First tree to make it out of the tube - I know what species it is but 100 bonus points if you can identify it
  20. spandit
    Watching trees grow is not great for someone with little patience... I'll give them more time, then - just worried they'll be swamped by weeds when other trees have shaded out the base of the tube to an extent

    Trust me, lack of water isn't an issue - that was another reason for selecting them. The alder and cherry are doing pretty well

    I'm offering a chip tip site. I'll be using it for mulching around trees, once composted

    When I selected the species for my new woodland, amongst the order was quite a bit of aspen (populus tremula) as I was told it wasn't fussy about soil, being a pioneer species'n'all. It purported to be fast growing. However, hardly any of them have put on any significant growth yet, unlike all the other species. In fairness, the specimens I received were pretty spindly (much like the spindle, which isn't growing so well either!) but all the same, I'm disappointed. Was I misled or is aspen fussier than advertised?

    I'll take any spare in East Sussex, please!
