Sorry I don’t think I have a picture of the root ball but it was approximately 2.5m diameter. I think what helped it a lot was that it was cut back hard in September about 8 months before the move. There was very little leaf on it when we moved it. Also it has been raining steadily here since the move. However there was a delay of about 6 weeks between digging it out and replanting it, so peds could still be correct!

Just an update, here it is in it's new home and it has survived the ordeal.

Morning all. Farming hat on here today. Off to a monthly farmers breakfast in a nearby cafe, a chance to meet a few like minded people who have severely diminished social skills since we are all working alone.

I have a felling license got for first thinning a small woodland with roughly half Norway and half Sitka spruce. I have already selected trees that I want to keep, these are painted with an orange band at roughly dbh. My question is what is the best way to mark rack lines and forked trees that will be coming out at first thinnings within the next 12 months or so? Are there specific colours for trees that are to be felled. Would a blaze mark with an axe or billhook be better than a colour? I searched on the site but the threads on the topic are over 10 years old.

It's a bit late for the OP, but for anyone else reading this for the first 9 months after damaging a finger tip there is the best possibility of repairing sensitivity. You do this by constantly stimulating it with a small sharp stone or small bolt, rolling it between the affected finger and thumb every chance you get. After about a year the sensitivity will not improve much. Sorry slightly off topic, but it might help someone else.

Will the compost/soil mix under the roots make any difference? Loving some of the eye watering price estimates so far! Moving it with a 16 ton track digger is the plan. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

Last autumn I cut back a beech pollard on a property for sale near me. The new owner has decided that they don’t want the tree as it’s too close to their house. They have offered it to me as I have the space for it, but it has to be moved now, not next winter. Has anyone here moved a large beech trunk during a wet summer successfully? It will be possible to water it in its new home. Should I put pipes under the roots? I’m thinking of putting a layer of well rotted compost at the bottom of the new hole mixed with topsoil to try encourage roots. Is there anything else I can do? It’s the tree in the centre of the photo.

More ag related than arb, but here goes, pull the entire tree to the chipper, sned off the light branches straight into the chipper and blow it into a tipper trailer, lift the heavy trunks into another trailer with the loader/ pulling tractor after cutting them into lengths. Have a few short lengths under the stack on the trailer so that the loader can easily get under the logs for unloading. Another tip is stack the branches butt end down against the chip trailer so you don’t have to bend down every time you pick up a branch.

Paddy’s girlfriend got a new tattoo of a seashell on her inner thigh. Paddy is delighted, when he puts his ear to it he can smell the sea.

They're very prone to late frosts. If you can keep the pots at a south facing wall it might help.
