Hi, We are looking for an arborist company local to Northumberland who can help with 5.5 acres of 50 year old spruce windthrow. Access to the site is available via a 10ft wide private track, and there are spaces available on site for storing the logs. The site is gently sloping ground. Please respond if you are interested or if you can recommend anyone suitable? Thanks Alec -
Hi, We have about 10 acres of Sitka Spruce windthrow to clear. We want to store some on site, for our own future needs and sell the rest. When it is stored [for example at the side of the road or in a clearing], approx how long can it be there before it starts to degrade/rot? Thanks, Alec

I have a client who has expressed concern after seeing the root plate of his Silver Birch tree moving in high winds. If at all possible he does not want the tree to be taken down or fall down. I have suggested a crown thin/clean and tip reduction to reduce sail effect and weight which he is happy to go with, but he has expressed an interest in using some form of ground anchor to attempt to stabalise the root plate too. This is a new concept to me but I can see some logic in it provided we can find a system which gets the ground anchors well below the moving plate. Additional points: The plate is not visibly moving other than in exceptionally high winds, the tree is approx. 30' tall, there is no threat to persons or property should the tree fail, the client is aware that any anchor system would be somewhat experimental! All opinions and advice is welcome. T.
