  1. Job closes Friday 15th, it's worth your while getting an application in if you've got Level 3 or PTI, all applications considered.
  2. Tree Inspector vacancy going at Greenwich, checking highways trees. Great place to work. 2 years contract. %E2%80%A6 ”… ROYALGREENWICHCAREERS.COM ”…
  3. Don't mind about the species, but we need to get trees in the ground this year.
  4. Whips, then a 'community planting day' type thing to get them in the ground (plus some extra actual staff to help). Mixed broadleaves, 2m centers so about 2500 whips
  5. Hi, I'm applying for a grant to plant up a hectare of new wood on an old unused football field, it's heavy clay, pretty wet, slightly compacted. Just wondering what you guys would advise for the ground prep. Mow it to within an inch of its life then, maybe drag a ripper through it and then rotovate? Would a ripper handle heavy clay? Am going to have to hire in whatever we use and everything's booked up already, so we're looking at this November to start. Any ideas would be great.
  6. Hi Londoners, what's the deal with carrying a chainsaw on public transport train/bus/tube? Assume you have to take the bar off are you ok otherwise? Thanks
  7. Hiya, any female arbs out there who can recommend their favourite harness? Thanks,
  8. Hi all, I fancy trying out hessian biodegradable tree ties this planting season, more eco but more importantly shouldn't need cutting off in future. Just wondered if anyone had trialled them already and if they're any good? Would hate for them to rot down too quickly and be a bit useless. Thanks.

    Tree Wardens

    Hi, Can I ask the advice of Tree Officers; do you have Tree Wardens in your boroughs and have you found them to be helpful? Thanks,
  10. Hi all, can I ask if there's a standard list of common wood decay fungi that are required knowledge for the PTI please?
  11. Hi, I've just heard from a friend that there's a type of cotoneaster that birds don't eat. I can't find any info about it anywhere, and just wondering if anyone has heard of this and knows what type it is. Thanks.
  12. Anyone good with flowering cherries? I believe this pic was taken in April, this is quite an early flowering one. Thanks.
  13. Three needles per spray. I like the idea of sabinia. But it could be a Scots pine dying back perhaps. Who knows, but thanks for the good ideas! Two Left Hand Sam
  14. Sorry for calling you nerd. I meant wizards.
  15. Hello, any kind conifer nerds out there who can ID this plesase? Could it be a Chinese Red Pine - Pinus tabuliformis? Seen just outside London. Thank you!
  16. Cornus kousa 'Venus' looks spot on! Thanks both.
  17. Yeah that's as close as I've got but shouldn't bracts be white not green?
  18. Hi all, Can anyone help with a dogwood ident? My Collins only has 5 listed and none of them seem to have green bracts like this! Photos taken a week ago. Sorry I didn't get a pic of the bark or overall shape. Thank you
  19. Thanks Jay, they looked perfect but their May date's sold out. I've sent them an email anyway (fingers crossed)
  20. Wish I'd seen this a week earlier! When are you next running the course Tom?
  21. Hi there, I'm looking to complet the Lantra Professional Tree Inspection course asap as I suddenly need it for work. It seems I've just missed all the April dates and next round at most places isn't until July! Please if anyone knows of a course provider with space soon or if anyone drops out and you know of a spot available, let me know. I can travel anywhere in the UK. Thanks, Sam
