Hello everyone, I was wondering if you would be kind enough to take a look at these picture that I have taken of a larch tree and could recommend the work - if any - to be carried out. The owners of the tree have expressed these concerns about the tree: 1. Close proximity to the house and the potential of it falling onto the house. 2. The size of the tree being too large for the garden. 3. It being sited on the side of a river bed which usually floods with heavy rain. They are worried about root heave here and unstable roots. I think the owners are becoming slightly intimidated by the the tree and are concerned that it may fall onto the house. Upon further inspection I found there to be a dead area near the base of the trunk where the bark has not sealed over yet. This looks to be an old wound of some sort, perhaps from torsion. Please see the Images below. There are a few dead hanging branches suspended in the canopy and a significant amount of dead wood. I was waiting to see if any fungal fruiting bodies were growing from the tree but none have been present so far. It is a really beautiful tree in my opinion and I would like to do the best job for it. It is approximately 15 meters from the house. The tree is in Cumbria, England. Please contact me if you would like any additional information or if there is anything that i have left out. Thanks in advance.

Not done the chainsaw tickets with them but I did do a bushcraft course and It was great. John Rhyder is a legend. Stronger than he looks.

The Course fee is 2400 pounds per year. There are 6 modules per year, and it takes 3 years to complete. You can pay in monthly instalments or in a few payments I think. The fees may not be the same for the next presentation. You could send them an email though and find out.

Keeping the soil from blowing away. Making nice soil conditioner for my veg bed.

Could i please get a copy of the list? It would be a great starting point for me.
