As above but instead of pacing we use 2m (or whatever the spacing) baton, gives you OCD worthy straight lines! when you've finished a row just use the baton to move the whole row down, guaranteed perfect rows.

reading through the thread im afraid it just seems like you made to many mistakes, severity of lean, woodpecker holes in limb over path, only 3 out of 4 funghi ident, no latin names on trees and only 50% on the questions..... its only human to feel agrieved however sometimes we just need to do better next time. stick with it, seek some feedback and give your own to the tutors but most of all try again

thanks for the advice guys, very much appreciated

hi forum im crown reducing (25%) a 18m robinia this weekend and as ive never worked on this tree i thought it might be prudent to ask for some advice (sensible please!....) as to any quirks or things to look out for on this tree? thanks in advance!

Short term politics and entrenched farming/ estate views will of course mop up EU funding and retain the status quo, besides its only the north.....

Top right there is a button, 3 or 4 lines, click it and it gives you an option to subscribe, at least that worked on my iPad!

Great blog, really cool pictures, look forward to future posts.

Getting back on thread was my original point but since being shouted down by the ukippers this has gone from 'standing with you France' to the SS, Mossad via the Falklands, oh and don't forget the political mud slinging......extremist views, no matter the flavour will always find a home when people use tragedy to peddle their own home grown views.
