Hi all, Came across this happy and vigorous seeming cherry until I looked closer. The bark was stripped in a wide section probably by vandals some time back, and it's looking pretty bad now. Guess that all that sap is from bacterial canker. What really worries me is what looks like the start of a split in the exposed heartwood. Will it have to come out asap do you think? Thing is the crow still seems healthy. Thanks.

Ooh! No, I'm in London but that is interesting. I'll just have to keep an eye on it. Thanks

Hi all, does anyone know what this white discoloration is on a young Pinus nigra stem? Is it harmless sap or a sign of a problem? Doesn't look great to me, and none of the other pines in the group had it.

Any ideas? Is it a saprophyte? Not seen this guy before. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm a student and need to write an assignment on pruning. I'm fine with all the theory, but I'm getting stuck on species knowledge. For example, I have to give examples of species that would respond well (or badly, I guess) to the following treatments: Crown reduction Crown thin Pollarding I want to have a bit more variety in my answers than just 'london plane!' Grateful for any thoughts from the pro's. Jo

Hi all, I'm the OP I haven't checked this thread all Christmas and I'm really delighted with all the debate it's caused! I've just read through all 19 pages of this and it's great. Poor Timmy! My fault it's run on like this for not laying out the specifics of my question in the first place. Which, actually, has made it really interesting. The situation ended up not coming to anything, but if it had I would have stayed on the books and taken overtime, just for simplicity. But at least now I've learned to.. a) be clear exactly what's being talked about (tax, insurance, what type of insurance etc etc) b) check everything with everyone, and c) never use the word 'freelance' again! Thanks for all the imput. ps, by the way, I'm a woman, just in reference to the all-pervading (except from the guy in Norway - cheers) him/he/his 🙂 -
I just wondered if anyone knows if this is allowed. My company that I'm on PAYE for offered me extra work as a freelancer instead of as overtime, which seems a bit dodgy and weird to me but the pay's better per hour. I can't find anywhere on the internet where it says this ISN'T ok, so maybe it's fine? Does anyone know more about employment law than me and can help out please? M.

Hello all, could anyone give me any help with this ident please? I'm thinking Large-Leaved lime or Crimean lime, but not sure. These are all the photos I have.
