Some kind of alder

Alot of Silver birch going brown here in north Wales. Also seen several mature beech completely brown. alot of dead ash tops due to ash die back also. Also many newly planted trees are dying/dead. Will drought have long term impact on some of the the trees or can they recover?

Sit the shed up off ground on blocks?

Found it: Guys a bit of a legend i reckon ?

Reminds me of that youtube video was posted on here of that guy that looked like harrison ford that dismantles a big tree with hardly any equipment & with a weird home made remote controlled chainsaw rig.

Im tempted with a cordless pole saw: https://hyundaipowerequipment.co.uk/hyundai-hyps36li-36v-battery-powered-pole-saw-hyps36li-1/ I already have the wolfgarten one. Decent branded ones like echo or sthil are over £600 for petrol or cordless etc.

STIHL LAUNCHES NEW ENHANCED CORDLESS ARBORIST SAW
Stere replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Echo USA saw looks pretty decent shame not in UK. https://www.homedepot.com/p/ECHO-16-in-58-Volt-Brushless-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Chainsaw-4-0-Ah-Battery-and-Charger-Included-CCS-58V4AH/205566014 -
I'd say if you have to buy wood its as expensive than the alternatives, & even if you get free wood there stil the cost/time of processing it etc. Also price of wood will probably keep on rising as demand is high & linked to othere costs such as petrol, & after ash die back even less trees around....... Good insulation is the sensible thing to do if you can manage it so you don't need to burn loads of wood to keep warm.

Local national park & some other regions in Wales has a mapping system for invasives, but i know thats only the tip of the iecberg as iv'e seen loads of knotweed sites that aren't recorded on the map https://eryri-atlas.cofnod.org.uk/ Kind of think a national map would be good. Local council pays alot too contractors for control but it all doesn't seem very coordinated e.g the need too revist sites repeatedly, so seems most invasives are spreading alor faster than they are being "contained" or elimnated.

In this dry weather theres unlikely too be much mud stuck on soles of wellies that could have roots stuck in it for vegetative propagation. Just make sure too clean any clods of soil off stuck if on bottom of boots & any tools etc if there is any before leaving site?

STIHL LAUNCHES NEW ENHANCED CORDLESS ARBORIST SAW
Stere replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Looking @ run times i reckon its the same power as the MSA 200 C-BQ cordless rear handle, maybe has same parts... Why do they not sell a full range of spares for cordless? When the motor went on my dyson I replaced it for £20, but don't see any spares listed for theese cordless tools, sees a shame to have to bin stuff because no spares avalible? Cordless stuff is disposable if breaks more landfill? -

How can a cordless saw have an engine? -
Try downy birch they can grow/seed naturally with zero soil on slate tips. Or a more science approach: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237662955_RE-CREATING_WOODLAND_AND_HEATHLAND_ON_SLATE_WASTE_IN_WALES

I quiet like new age traveller fashion thoose stripey woolen jumpers dredds & the ones that look like mad max extras & the lurcher on a string. Kind of wondering if the "movement" is gradually dying out now as see less around, though there is a local encampment of about 10 vans they have being in the same layby for the last 5yrs.

Intelligence is supposedly 50% genectic & 50 enviroment. Some studies on cousin marriage traditions find that it don't help IQ etc https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/children/11723308/First-cousin-marriages-in-Pakistani-communities-leading-to-appalling-disabilities-among-children.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage

Just leave it ain't doing no harm, could trim with brushcutter to stop it spreading out more. Once fence needs replacing then clear the lot.

I read that but can't find it now. Have you got a link to it?

New age travellers are gorgers too apparently.

Mature Lime avenue - in need of pruning?
Stere replied to Singlemalt's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
In 2 or 3 yrs they will grow back the same length so will be a constant on going thing to keep them tidy if thats what you want. Your could try doing one tree see if you like the look of it after. -
Any opinions on theese? https://www.agrieuro.co.uk/honda-gx-35-engine-multi-tool-brush-cutter-pruner-hedge-trimmer-attachments-p-5364.html Says engine is honda and attachments are off brand marina The proper honda version is about £1000 for the same attachments.
