  1. Thanks For the reply stubby. Definitely more of an idea than me so thanks again
  2. Hi everyone, On a recent landscaping job the client asked about two Yew trees that she owns. Over all the Trees look in good health and from a distance seem perfectly healthy and in good colour. The trees had works done on them last year just after she moved into the property and recently she noticed that one of the trees seems to be bleeding a lot form one cut whilst the over has a black " staining " and a black crumbly texture in cavity's below a dead branch. The bark is very easy to peel away from around the area. To me it almost looks like it has had a fire ( the client has not had a fire under the tree). I've always believed Yews to be very hardy trees and only seen ones have issues in water logged conditions. The soil in the garden is a good free loam and i cant see why there would be much compaction around the trees so this shouldn't be an issue. For me the bleeding isn't something to be worried about even though it does look a lot, but happy to be told differently and if so what to suggest to the client. The other tree with the black staining is the one i have less of an idea for and any suggestions as of the reason for it and recommendations of what to suggest to the client would be great. Even if its get someone who knows more to look at it and if so who. (apologies for the not so great photos and video) Video.mov
  3. Hi I’m looking for some more groundy work in the South Shropshire / North Herefordshire area. I’ve recently returned to the industry after living abroad for a couple years. Before that I worked as a subbie- 2nd climber/groundy. If anyone has some work and would like me to send them a cv or a reference please let me know. Cheers Chris
