Whats happing to all the ash trees where you are.? Locally alot of mature hegde row trees are effected,a few are completely dead, loads are half dead, a few still look healthy. Not seen any felled even the many 100% dead ones over roads. They will start dropping large branches soon. Seems a shame all that firewood is going to waste, on the other hand a suppose all the standing dead wood is good habitat. Countryside is going to look very barren with no trees left apart from the odd sycamore as i'd say ash was over 80% of the hedge trees round here. Its still not the same after all the elms dissapered from the hegdes, when/if all ash goes won't be many trees at all left in large areas of farm land. Maybe there needs to be some goverment scheme for restocking hegderow trees, though plantin in hegdes is abit tricky?

Not all the amazon crazy prices are fake bought some bike tyres before under 50% price listed & anywhere else & the were posted. I don't understand what the deal is with the crazy low prices though but the tyre listing was up for months. This is the name/info of the crazy cheap fake 550XP seller which is odd: Some German-Turkish Islamic scholar https://www.amazon.co.uk/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00IA1QBWW&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&orderID=&seller=AT7ZJJE3OAKOJ&tab=&vasStoreID= https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bülent_Uçar

Cutting/felling/snedding doesn't take very long but clearing /tidying brash takes ages., least birch brash stacks easy.

How about an AI for tree ident you upload a picture and in compares it to a database of existing images online of different species. Surely that wouldn't be too hard?

Wouldn't surprise me if some of the private jobs they do are priced cheap for friends relatives people in other council departments etc and equipment used is trashed/uncared for because they can just buy another one......

Did any of thoose willow biomass schemes ever get planted on a large commercial scale and being economically viable etc.... -
But doesn't it just cycle back to the soil when the wood rots/leaves fall off every autum so whats the advantage? Unless wood/biomass is harvested but then what do you do with it?

Why would a small street tree like that be a big problem for foundations, and are elms extra bad? Or is it a case of trying to find some excuse to get rid of tree because don't like having a tree there?......

Taking about planning ahead wasn't Woodland relatively was cheap to buy a few yrs when alot was sold off by FC but now expensive. Maybe actually owning woodland is the only way in future to make decent money from firewood? -

Needs pictures. & how long is a day? Distance too carry trimmings? Trimmings fall on grass or flower borders? When was it last cut? What machines you have/how fast you work.... Im guessing around 2 or 3 days.
