Hi All..

 

What you all think about this..

First off, i thought a tpo was to protect the "amenity" of an area.. How can a tree have earned a TPO, if it cannot be seen unless you are trespassing on the land?? Anyway, leaving that aside..

 

I work in a hospital, there is a smallish oak tree one branch of which overhangs a secure compound that forms the perimeter fence of the garden area of a locked secure psychiatric ward. I have been asked to remove part of said branch as it is a ligature risk for the patients.

Do we just do it??

Do we have to tell the council??

Can the council say no??

If the council refuse and a patient hangs them self, then what??

 

I would imagine the safety of sectioned hospital patients trumps anything the council might like to think??

 

What do you all think??

I agree with all you have said. 
I know a lady with 5 TPO trees in her tiny garden no one sees them but they just get bigger and bigger. 

Aeration around this giant sequoia wow it’s tall 😀

Did you hear on news bison coming to Kent for same reason keeping undergrowth down 😀

Nice little Nuthatch at work today

hopefully someone can help me, I have been asked what it would cost to airspde an old ash tree in a garden, the owner is rather atached to the tree and wants to try this out in the hope it might stop any ash dieback. the area is in galloway in sw scotland and due to the topographical layout is actually quite protected to the normal weather patterns, so who knows, it might work, it might not, there is good vehicular acsess for up to a 7.5t  wagon,

any info would be a great help

Yes we do airspade work and travel the country. 
I am an advocate for trying and with Ash dieback someone needs to try and help the mature Ash. 
if you would like a quote pm me.

@Terrain Aeration does this work.

Yes this week I’m working on two Sequoia trees in Yorkshire and the around trees in York

I’m a MacBook man just lazy it linked to my phones. Actually not lazy I’m not computer literate 🤣🤣

When you get to my age it’s the perfect entertainment I love it lol

I always thought it was every four years fertile also I definitely know if they float empty if they sink full😃it’s in several of my books

That’s shocking.

They weren’t whips either.

 

Someone has paid peanuts and got monkeys by the looks of it.

That’s what I don’t understand mate they spend £600 per tree now they are dying very strange builders. 

All my 60 years I’ve just liked to do everything right that’s all I seem to be a rare breed🤣

Not ideal I agree, but how will it strangle the rootball? It’s only 1 strop.

Would you like a strop around your feet. 
most of these trees come with mesh it will stop root growth. 
same as binding Chinese ladies feet🤣

I’ve been in the tree industry for 30 years. 
I have been aerating around these trees which are struggling 

I can’t believe my eyes🤣

every tree is the same strop left on which will strangle rootball. 

That is a brilliant job. 
as you said so much more satisfaction saving a tree for future generations 

on my other site David oakman I just love old veterans my passion. 

There are several phytophthora diseases so you would need to get it checked. 
we are treating trees for compaction which helps with phytophthora 

I passed today a whole row dying I think it could be this disease 

Yep came out several times couldn’t solve the problem our problem was it was a ex demo machine so not much after sales. 

Connect the bypass wires lol not very good was it 

Mine was the same from new under guarantee but they couldn’t fix it. 

I had two conifers die at a clients and as I drive I have noticed a lot of dead conifers also willows this year 

Ash tree defoliation by something 

I’m going to Edinburgh for two weeks working on trees. 

It was a good year this year that was the only common spotted I had in my pictures. 
pyramidal orchids were everywhere in Stowmarket 

Orchid year at least 😀

Seen it comes up on my page.
