    Yep, nature is never wrong even if we don't understand it!

    I am the guardian of around half a mile of riverbank which contains a mixture of mainly white willow; goat willow and osiers. Most of the big trees self pollard which is good news on one level as I'm about to install a log gasification system, but aesthetically, I'm left with some quite ugly gangly looking trees! Having taken a walk in a local town and seen how the authorities manages similar trees along their river bank i.e.they pollard them, I am of a mind to do the same. My question is, where do I start researching how best to do this? I'm not a professional arborist, but as I have the right gear and plenty of experience after 30 years of clearing up trees from the bank and river, will be looking to carry out the work myself

    Thanks and will follow your advice. The trees nearby are mature so probably why they're not currently showing signs. Will enjoy them while I can though...

    Many thanks for the tips about log tongs/cant hook etc which I do have but will certainly take on board the suggestions to use them more. Still would really appreciate opinions on decent gloves?

    Is this young ash sapling showing the symptoms of the disease? It's 5m away from larger brethren which aren't showing signs. If it is diseased, what should I do with this sapling? Thanks

    Every month I get through a pair of so-called heavy duty gloves moving timber around. It is financially and environmentally unsustainable. Main problem is holes in fingertips and whilst gaffer tape extends short-term life, even that eventually gives up. Would very much welcome advice on specific gloves to look at and even how to affect a better repair
