    Fair play. May see if I can get my edition of Charles' book signed, and then proceed to scream like a banshee.

    I am not sure why it's limited to 60 - perhaps space is an issue? Hopefully it will be repeated again for those who missed out, with priority given to those who are on the reserve list for this one coming up.
  3. Kveldssanger
    Ouch! That went darned fast... If there are any hand outs I'll try to remember to post some updates for those of you who are interested.
  4. Kveldssanger
    See some of you there then.
  5. Kveldssanger
    You can try to reserve, provisionally, a place, as there will be a waiting list beyond the 60 places for the replacement of any who pull out of going.

    Wow that massive stem on the left side there. That was the side that fell, no? Serious weight on there at quite a pronounced lean!

    'Nationally significant' tree crashes into Suffolk homes - BBC News Such a shame!

    Hi guys, Seen a few goat willows looking really rough this winter / spring. Went to one yesterday that was laden with gall-like structures on the twig crotches and infesting some of the catkins (it appeared). Any I.D. for this? Did a search online and found nothing specific.

    Had mine done ages ago. Noted the aspen buds are now breaking. Got a watering plan in place too - residents may be helping me out in places.

    Woeful.

    OP - my comment on roots also applies to subsidence and heave. If a structure is built on shrinkable soil, a tree is then planted after construction and the site begins to subside, upon removal of the cause the ground can only re-hydrate itself back to its size as it was when the structure was built (assuming there was no desiccation at the time). Alternatively, if a structure is built upon an already desiccated soil with some trees retained during development, their removal might cause heaving issues if the soil re-hydrates to a point where such re-accumulation of moisture expands the soil to levels the structure has not previously been exposed to. Thus, heaving cracks.

    I'd also take a guess and suggest most lombardy pops are planted after development, given they don't last too long. Any lombardy pops would likely be cleared before building, as well, if some did exist on a building site.

    Unfortunately I didn't take a cross-section of the actual bracket. The entire underside was teaming with life and frankly I felt a little regretful I had the bracket torn off, so I didn't want to then cut it in half further and just placed it back by the tree. My gut was australe, given the applanatum I have seen are typically less 'beefy' around the margins and aren't usually so absurdly close to the base (as well as being more saucer-like, particularly on larger brackets), though having seen the below scenario with a mature ash today (G. applanatum), I'm not so sure. If I'm truly honest, the distinct 'ribbing' around the margins of the desiccated bracket put me off suggesting it was G. applanatum. Today's picture - http://i.imgur.com/UBf7tfF.jpg

    Exactly this. If a structure is built upon an existing root crown area, and the root crown area rots away as the tree is felled / dies, then you may see some shifting as the soil is displaced and fills the voids. On the flip side, if the tree is planted after a structure is built and causes soil to shift in a heaving manner, the structure can only revert back to its original level as it were before the roots became an issue.

    On a dead S. intermedia. Lacquered underneath. Only one large bracket. White rotter; likely selective - lignin was degraded whilst cellulose remained less degraded.

    I was thinking of asking if a local college that does woodwork would want it, or a crafts workshop. One of the larger wild cherries I've come across in the area, and really think someone will appreciate the wood (as you say).
  18. Kveldssanger
    Taking this down in the coming weeks. Has some rot in the root stock; not sure how the base fares. Some epicormic growth. Would this be worth arranging for collection by someone to use other than firewood or deadwood? Curious. If it isn't, I'll have the contractor take the wood away.

    Total facade. They know what they're doing.
  20. Kveldssanger
    Phew. Really don't consider it possible to be a rowan or goldenrain tree, then. Sorbus potentially, given the bark, though it cannot be a S. aria as the bud breakage is off. S. intermedia perhaps, but really a picture of the entire tree would have been useful. Or a close up of the leaves w/ buds.
  21. Kveldssanger
    Sorbus intermedia, perhaps? Does anyone know if sorbus leaves break out with the red defensive tinge? Not seen it myself on trees near me, though some species might. Hang on a jiffy, is that bud from the same tree or not?
  22. Kveldssanger
    Surely it cannot be a rowan as it doesn't have the correct leaf structure. A K. paniculata is not possible as again not the right leaf structure (not pinnate). It could well be a Sorbus of some sort, though it cannot be a rowan (unless rowans also can have non-pinnately arranged leaves).
  23. Kveldssanger
    Looks good. Saw one round where I work on Thursday. It looked woeful. Poor thing lost all of its beauty with that reduction. At least they didn't muck the Lombardies next to it; that'd really have been a feat, if they had.
  24. Kveldssanger
    My seedlings are, but actual mature specimens 'aint done a thing!

    Hah! Keep such comments to the hot tits thread you made.
