    Interesting. Root radar is a fairly costly exercise I believe. Make sense on the plan forward. Good to know a little bit more about Picus testing. Some time down the line, I do want to get some of our trees tested.

    By the way. Yes it was a lush day. Rain forecast for the next 7 days though. Sorry about that.

    Ganoderma Root Rots WWW.MISSOURIBOTANICALGARDEN.ORG I am wondering if it is early stages of the rot. Ganoderma works on rotting the roots and butt of the tree, maybe it has already done the damage to the roots and not yet the tree. Would Picus pick up the rot below the point where you have the sensors? Just wondering if maybe root inspection would be more useful. Root radar in this case? Just a thought.

    Nice work and good finds. Its been fairly busy on mushrooms my way. Will post some more

    Having now read up on this, it seems quite deadly towards conifers. This bracket is at the base of a fairly large and fairly old (seems to be about 150 years) Douglas fir, there are two of these on a small island next to a converted victorian greenhouse. I am guessing Picus would be a good way to know what the state is. There are no signs of any damage to the tree that I can see at all.

    That is a BIG bonfire.... well ours isn't going to make it in that competition.

    Rather than start a new thread. Is anyone building a bonfire this year and what sort of size are you doing? We have a fair bit of wood stacked from cuttings on site where I work, going to be using them for a hopefully large bonfire. Its been very wet mind. Getting the machine in tomorrow to start moving the wood into place. Hope its going to be a cracker. Anyone got photos of previous years fire pile before the fire? Would be good to get an idea of sizes.

    oaks do naturally dieback. Any idea how old he is?

    looks like the old honey fungus to me. Lots of it about at the moment. Armillaria

    About 3-4 metres up a nice old oak tree out of the back of our barn. This oak had its top blown out in the 1987 hurricane. He has come back very well, just with a shorter bole.

    On the stump of a weeping willow we had to fell after it had died

    Is that wet rot in the centre?

    What an image. Insurance surely wouldn't cover tree winching from your house....

    Native to the Patagonia region with almond scented flowers. Quite vicious from what I understand

    don't eat the fruit then

    hard to tell some of them look desiccated. I would pitch as above one of the toughshanks or scalycap.

    Looks like heterobasidium annosum, conifers are the main host. Okay then, well that's two votes for heterobasidium, so will go with that. Thanks.

    Not too sure on that one. Its quite close though the spores are more grey. But could be.

    Found this at the base of a Douglas fir today. Very wet and rainy so the bracket was quite wet when I took the shot. I am not sure if it is Gloeophyllum sepiarium or Inonotus cuticularis or something completely different. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Haven't hear of the Cast loaders, will have a look. Cheers.
  21. AJStrees
    Thnaks Mick, will check the others out. Good to know.
  22. AJStrees
    A fair bit of cash, but I understand they are pretty good from what I have seen so far. Will be getting a demo of the Multione shortly. The 8 series look pretty big.
  23. AJStrees
    Thanks Mick. How much did that set you back? I am currently hiring an Avant E6, the battery job which isn't too bad, forks, bucket and sweeper, but would like to try the grapple, etc for moving trees and brash. Gotta build a big ole bon fire soon too so probably worth it. Want to get a multi loader for the site I work on trialing Avant to see what it can do.
  24. AJStrees
    Nice job! What model of multione are you using and what attachments?
  25. AJStrees
    some time in the future I believe everyone will need a loader, I am not there yet...
