    Are they old pollards?
  2. AJStrees
    looks like the species. Does it have a smell to it?
  3. AJStrees
    spooky

    If you don't mind me asking, what price is a crane job like that going to cost the customer who wants the tree removed?
  5. AJStrees
    Nice job!

    Nice look like some old estate trees judging by the old iron fencing in the back ground. Great find!

    Reading the symptoms of Ash dieback, the pathogen stops the flow of fluid and nutrients to the tree and as a result the tree dies. One of the side affects is said to be that the trees once dead shatter to pieces when they are felled. Potentially the dieback is making ash more brittle than ever.

    I could tell from the leaves it was a whitebeam but not the swedish part. So that will be Sorbus x intermedia.

    Well if it was the day for the beach it would have been nice at 30 with a breeze. ? Was felling some rather overgrown holly "bushes" in the shade so wasn't too bad, though perspiration levels were rather high.

    Lots of butterflies out at the moment, not seen so many in a while. Red Admirals, Meadow Browns, small Whites, saw one the other days on the roses but couldn't identify it. Was impressively large and colourful with white background.

    Bit of the old SBD with a small beech branch today. However there were also some signs of major old squirrel damage on the same branch. Wretched blighters. Was about 24c this afternoon and supposed to go upto 30c tomorrow. Potentially its going to be cold bath weather.

    CLIMATE CHANGE!

    Was a bit breezy last night, the ash trees are showing signs of losing quite a bit of foliage. Hot again today though. ?

    Thanks David, And within the London city itself I am assuming they have to have some pretty major buffers in place with the old plane trees that are along the streets and roads. This must be a major thing to tackle. Don't envy those that have to look after those trees. Does it affect all of the Platanus species?

    Warm in West Sussex, breezy now though, but the bees were out and happy! ?

    Have seen it happen with atlas cedar ends of long branches break off middle of summer.

    Hi David, is there an update on where this stands in London now? Has the problem receded or is this still an issue?
  18. AJStrees
    Cheers, will have a read of it.

    Thanks Steve. Very dedicated indeed!

    So the lightning struck and blew the old oak away? Blimey. Do you think the OPM had something to do with the way it shattered?
  21. AJStrees
    Good old pseudoacacia Frisia by the looks of it.
  22. AJStrees
    Definitely looks like its been there a while. Good call, its one of the Thrush family pretty sure with those small blue speckled eggs. ?

    Indeed. I tried the woodchip and biochar. There might be a difference in this year's foliage, but too early to tell.
  24. AJStrees
    Could be ash with ash die back. However it would be good to see the leaf

    Great find and good shot. Learn something new every day.
