Looks healthly to me many are half brown on the outside as they dont sprout from the old wood once pruned back

Rackham reckons American oak mildew is now preventing natural oak regen within woodland.

I don't' think power washing was a good suggestion as a chance it would remove the render.

All the worktops in the science block in my old school were mahogany shame they all got ripped out and skipped to be replaced with formica.

Reds ate my hornbeams several ft off each tree. Non ring barked but a dozen look like this. Suprisingly it seems to have had little effect on the trees so far with regards to growth.

Anyone being here would be interesting to have more details of there management? 13400 tree per hectare really dense is that corrrect?

Always thought that it would be best enviromentally to retrofit rather than replace but it seems to not make economic sense versus new.

That RCV stuff is interesting but seems nothing new happening with then for a few yrs nor sure why development stopped? https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/dc8d/d88169fbdb9399a7dbe340faf1a779a77d2c.pdf Looks good must be some downside though i assume? Dolmar had a wankel rotary chainsaw.

Husky 420el 2000w (or if you like the colour teal the UC4051A makita version ) though doubt it would have any more cutting power than the florabest, just better build quality spares availiabilty and less vibrations probably. The florabest model is listed as 2200w which is about eqivalent of a good 40c petrol saw if the chains sharp should be ok unless you are bucking alot of larger diameter harwood rings. If thats the case you need say a decent 60cc petrol saw to speed the process up...... Stihl do make some slightly more powerful corded ones but they are not sold in the uk and are very pricey.

Also if the flora has had yrs of use might be worth checking the motors carbon brushes for wear. All the corded saws still seem to have brushes im sure if the demand was there a improved more modern brushless motor corded saw like on the cordless chainsaws might improve them abit.....

Where is the holly tree?

The fundemental problem imo with batteries is that they are just no where near as energy dense versus petrol. Even if they improve loads I think they will still be considerably behind a 50cc petrol saw in power to weight ratio and run time. Still batteries are better now for certain tools & job situations but not atm to generally replace petrol.

Think id still choose the msa220 over a msa300 as I think batteries niche atm is the smaller saws but the msa300 is trying to compete in the pro 40cc- 50cc class but has less power and more weight less runtime than petrol so I think might be underwhelming? Happy with my 18v makita. A grouptest review on the new 40v makitas & new echo versus the husky & stihl would be interesting....

Probably had ash dieback no stray twigs left around as they are so distinctive on ash?

But the crankcases are an identical shape in the parts diagrams I linked how do you explain that? There are some weird fake looking russian makitas also dunno if there related in anyway...... Shavey & wyk are the makita experts.

From another forum. Unsure if this might effect long term reliability? 545 sounds nice saw but price new isn't much different from the 550 ? The new echo CS-4310SX looks really good but is expensive so is the ms241 in 40cc saws compared to the 50cc ones.
