    Suggest not a Leylandii as being a genetic cross is entirely sterile and can only grow from cuttings. Possibly a Lawson Cypress.
  2. Derek Eames
    I theory you can cut it back but I think that under law you would not be allowed to cause excessive harm as a result. Suggest that care and moderation is required...

    Fascinating... I would be rather concerned about the integrity of the tree...! Particularly a Lime. This needs further investigation to assess the decay parameters particularly if of a high target value... How about Hypholoma...
  4. Derek Eames
    Probably Cerioporous squamosus. White rot decay of dysfunctional xylem from previous wound. May be worthwhile further investigation if target risk is high.
  5. Derek Eames
    Yes. Would suggest Pholiota... Good example. Only problem being that could mean significant root decay perhaps as saprophytic...
  6. Derek Eames
    Yep. Tulip Tree is correct...

    Fly Agaric is a beneficial mycorrhizal fungi. A great opportunity to provide children with extra curricula education. And seriously are children going to pick up a mushroom and eat it...?
  8. Derek Eames
    Very good. I will try that out...
  9. Derek Eames
    OK I will go with that. Many thanks everyone Cerdiphyllum japonicum pendulum it seems to be!!
  10. Derek Eames
    Yes. the long red petiole does look like a Katsura
  11. Derek Eames
    I had thought of Cercis... Any other ideas? MT

    Small leaved weeping tree. Leaves about 5cm. Small dark reddish pointed buds largely opposite. Any suggestions please and thank you.

    Errm I would suggest looking at Kennedy v Bournemouth BC. The court held that the roots did not cause cracks in the drains. The owner of a property is primarily responsible for closing gaps in their drains and this would be the most effective way to solve the problem. The claim was dismissed. I have personally mediated in a case like this. It is for the property owner that the drains and sewers are their responsibility based on this case precedent and not the neighbouring tree owner

    Grifola frondosa or actually more likely Heterobasidion annosum

    Good afternoon This is from the base of an Oak with considerable dieback. Note the veins in the epicormic growth are still green! Any suggestions? Phytophthera?
  16. Derek Eames
    If you are still around, if you were to slice a mushroom in half, a Chanterelle would have white flesh apparently. Should smell like Apricots!

    Place a head on a piece of white paper and cover and leave for 48 hrs and you will see a spore pattern which comes in many colours. Honey fungus is white I believe..

    Interesting. There should have been a construction exclusion zone (CEZ) around this tree. The Arb report should have highlighted that diggers and dumpers etc were excluded... but hey, since when did a Contractor follow the rules...?
  19. Derek Eames
    You might be interested in HobbitHouse Wood ID site WWW.HOBBITHOUSEINC.COM exotic wood ID site Wood looks a bit like Beech perhaps..
  20. Derek Eames
    Fascinating. I always thought Ganoderma was pretty tough...
  21. Derek Eames
    20 - 30 metres may be in its native environment. Although it will grow to a substantial tree, in its habitat it would probably not achieve massive growth... at least not for another 100+ years perhaps! Just be more wary of the soil type. If you have a shrinkable clay then you are likely to hit problems.

    Tricky subject. I always used single line technique but appears that regs have changed...
  24. Derek Eames
    Actually... believe it or not... your neighbour is right. It is an EU pile of toilet paper.. so hopefully will no longer apply soon.. However not sure about the legal liabilities

    PS. Don't store woodchip in large quants as this can get pretty warm!
