Maximum possible reduction of large Oak
Stere replied to George01's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Looks like it may have being pruned atleast two times at different heights, once above the main Y shape trunk then again all the tips. -
I have the wolfgarden pole with the blade & loppers attachments aint the same as the zubat in cutting though but decent quality Also have a samurai one that cuts better than the wolf & that fits on a diy handle pole handle PC Series – TAKAEDA - Samurai Saws WWW.SAMURAISAWS.CO.UK A truly versatile product. Add an extendable, 25mm diameter, pole and you have a high-quality pole saw featuring a top... Seems more flex between blade and the hande though comapred to the wolf.

Just reading this and noticed: Row over UK tree-planting drive: 'We want the right trees in the right place' | Trees and forests | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Forestry Commission accused of funding non-native plantations that damage peatlands and imperil rare species Surprised that they was a big forest fire in March?

Jusr re reading this says beech were done every10 - 15yrs by the basques https://www.ancienttreeforum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/A-study-of-practical-pollarding-techniques-in-northern.pdf Thought I had read 20yrs somewhere was the traditional rotation. So 10-15yrs sounds good
-
Unusual to see pollards in such location. Would be nice to maintain them as pollards on say a 20yrs rotation. Would be cool to have more pollards as street trees.

Delivering 6 bush cords to my customers
Stere replied to Ontario Firewood Resource's topic in Video forum
How much do you charge per bush cord? -
Pottery mugs were ok for several 1000's of yrs till people decided it was necessary in the last few decades or so have too walk down street carrying a cofee cup. Same with people that walk everywhere clutching a plastic mineral water bottle which i find odd. Don't really see the need for either plastic or paper mugs. If people want to they should just have to bring there own mug, and cafes have proper mugs that are nicer to drink from anyway.

Being using that arbor knot on hazel bundles after reading this thanks.

Rainfall varies alot and wind. Average is around 1400mm here North Wales but last few yrs being wetter than average. I tried doing beech logs in a similar way, Made circles of sheep netting ontop of pallets open sides with a tarp on top and it started rotting. I reckon germans must have different climate for there Holz Hausen to work.
-
Depends how wet your local climate is but would be not be that good here ( gales and sideways rain half the yr ) but might be ok-ish where you are.

Seen a big scots pine last for yrs with similar branch torn off with no ill effects and zero intervention Maybe certain conifers are better at compartmentalization of decay than many other species?

What hardwoods do you have in the UK?
Stere replied to Ontario Firewood Resource's topic in Firewood forum
Also willow lime and popular fairly common trees but less good as firewood, And used to be elm was very common before they got wiped out from dutch elm disease. Ash in danger also now...from ash dieback as its all over the UK. -

Assume there will be a new echo 50cc along some time as has being the new ms261 ans 550xp? Iv'e often wondered about product range, marketing price points, and manufacturing costs. If say once the factoery production line is set up, the costs don't vary much betweeen making say a ms170 or 550xp so profit margin is alot higher on one than another?
