People used to think it was two different ones until 1750 🙂

Maybe.....🙂 But all wild ivy species( i think?) have (as mentioned already) the ability of growing two types of leaves on the same plant as the second type of leave are associated with the flowers/berries? Though ive noticed the variagated garden cultivar ones don't seem to ever flower they just climb? Have a look at theese different ivy species distribution maps.... https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2745.2005.01021.x Theopharastus view is still a commonly held one......

Does the NE have much in rotation hazel coppice for the binders etc? So the local style sounds similar to Lancs. & Westmorland ?

I don't know much about hedge laying but can't see why people traditionally would of being regional purists, as surely form follows function, so they would of done what worked best as stock barrier or to suit each individual situation with the use of local materials available? So I think go for practical magpie. http://treesplease.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Trees-Please-Hedge-Laying-and-Coppicing-Guidance-2.pdf

Iiana phobes! 🙂 Don't forget all the ash that is dying from adb will often end up covered in ivy as the crown thins. Same for any other tree species struggling with the plethora of new tree diseases around atm. Maybe ivy is the canary down coal mine? Another Life: Could ivy create the perfect storm for Ireland’s ash trees? WWW.IRISHTIMES.COM The debate continues about the pros and cons of our most widespread climbing plant

Looks like a recipe for white finger 😐

Ivy has benefited from climate change I reckon just from personal observation of its prevalance in hedges Study on Ivy: https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fee.2266 UK has 2 natives sub species of ivy apparently: Hedera helix ssp. helix and Hedera helix ssp. hibernica. Same as with there being two different hawthorns types As for it being a urgent threat think its not that bad compared to other things happening etc? Not as if its triffids? 😏

Are you sure they are hornbeam? Looks abit more like ash?

Im not convinced all teeth being the same length is as crtical as its often its made out to be, as long as the teeth are all sharpened at the right angles. (& as long as its not all one side is shorter than the other perhaps....). As getting all teeth same length would mean taking them all down if some get damaged? Have a few chains which have lost a couple of teeth completely and I think cut as well as the new ones maybe even abit better as the shorter worn teeth seem to help clear the chip faster. Still the markings may helpful with getting the angles right regardless of being used to get matching teeth length....

Sounds like a company best avoided.

Suppose a pyramids scheme is lucrative as long as you not the sucker holding when the whole thing collapses Morally esp with regards to enviromental impact seems very dubious though. Have you seem thoose massive cryptomines in central asia? (Also policew raiding the illegal ones) Its like something from a dystopian sci fi film...

Thats not what ive read it may be marketing bull though... Couldn't get an expensive new SS henckels knife as sharp as a old carbon sabateir one or to stay sharp as long. Henckels is regarded and sold as a expensive quality brand but they rate it poorly on this chart? Steel Types THESHARPCHEF.CO.UK There are two main categories of steel, Carbon steel and Stainless steel. Most knives fall in to one of these... Other online sources saying similar but they are trying to flog japanese carbon steel ones. Also many pro chefs still using carbon apparently? Also my opinel carbone stays sharper longer than a more expensive SS pen knife I have.....

Throught trews were tartan 🙂 Don't wear a matching cape chainsaws plus capes is a bad combo safety wise.

I agree with you, and think its kind of interesting why they have being slow in development of any decent new global brands. Viewpoint: Why do so few Chinese brands go global? WWW.BBC.CO.UK Chinese companies are extending their reach around the globe but why have they not been able to build their own brands? Think many 3rd world places are probably full of chinese cars and motorcyle brands but not the western market yet... even if alot is now made in china for the global brands.....

Thought deer pop was higher than ever.....

Didn't think much of what they made, the bench was ok but not to my taste, the chainsaw aeroplane looked crap and the surf table looked like an ironing board. They has some nice tools though
