Many Thanks!!

Hi to all. Does anyone know where can I find a good description (online would be best) of the transition from seed to veteran in relation to the regulation of mass/energy ratio? Thanks fellas.

There is always the 'mechanical option'; use a stump grinder and/or a decent mattock. I have dug out many stumps using both methods. No poisoning involved and if you dig deep enough you can replant straight after.

Also very helpful, thank you.

Alec, very interesting material. Thanks man, much appreciated.

Something like this? Plant science: The chestnut resurrection : Nature News & Comment
-
Thanks Alec. I will look into that although I would prefer other species as I have already written about dutch elm and ash dieback. Do you any link to new research on elm yellow? Thanks again.

Hi to all. I am doing some written work on this topic and I am a bit stuck at the moment. I would really appreciate if someone knew of current research to improve plant stock in nurseries (excluding ash dieback and dutch elm disease) related to tree disease. Regards.

The tree is alive.

This is the base of an Ash which has been horribly topped 5-6 years ago and that has, I think (not 100% sure about this), had it's roots damaged by construction works next door. Is it some kind of bacterial canker coming from the roots? As always any help much appreciated.

That is part of it. So far I have got HTA_Description_of_specific_terms_1_.pdf and HTA_plant_handling_spec.pdf but I believe that there is a lot more on it. Specifically I need some tables at the end with standards for different species like container size, number of branches, height of the tree and so on. It's a bit like the Bs (which I have already). Thanks to everyone for trying, I appreciate the effort. -

I just started my Level 4 and I am desperate to find the HTA manual for reference. I would really appreciate if someone could put me in the right direction or even more if someone has it and can let me have a look at it Thanks for reading.

Thanks.

I found these on an Ailanthus.. any ideas? Is one of them honey fungus?
-
<p>Hello mate. I have been reading some old posts about the level 4. I was hoping you kept that reading list and you could send it to me or maybe recommend some books. Did you do the course with Tree Life? How did you find it? Thanks.</p>

I think it was pruned 2-3 years ago and it didn't give any fruits this year. Thanks for everyone's help.

Not as far as I know.

I have to identify what is the problem with an apple tree and I thought that may be one of you gentlemen could help. The bark is dying off all around the base of the trunk. The leaves came down early in spring. Could this be caused by Armillaria? A willow near the apple tree was affected by honey fungus and it had to come down, but I haven't seen any fruit bodies near the apple or anywhere else. Are those grey circles normal in apples? I have seen them many times... Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Ups... Sorry! Yes, Yew tree... carnosum then, thanks.

I found this on a Jew tree today. Any ideas?
-
Thanks.

Any one knows if Rhytisma grows on Elms? Or is that something else? Leaf spot? Thanks
-
Grifola? Meripilus? This fungi thingy is more tricky than what I thought...
