    Notch too small?

    This is a dead tree I took down a few weeks ago. Pinus Nigra, Austrian Pine I guess. I cut a small notch on purpose , not being sure about the conditions of the wood inside( later they revealed to be better than what I expected by looking at the bad shape of the whole tree.) Looking at the...

    The rescue of a wolf

    On January 9, 2012 the wolf Navarre was recovered from the icy waters of a river in very dramatic conditions: undernourished, with a paralysis of the hind limbs and with 35 lead pellets in his body. After several diagnostic tests, two weeks of intensive care in the infirmary, monitored 24 hours...

    Cossus-cossus

    Here's a nice fat one I found last week in a little Prunus. The little tree was gone, I guess they 've been there for one year or a little more. There were only two. They like to eat for sure!

    346xp vs 357xp

    There's a special offer at the local local Husqvarna dealer on 346, 357 and 372.It will last till january. They're pushing a lot the new 562xp and 560xp, so they give a good price on the others. I was thinking to get a 357xp, even if i consider the 346 a good saw. Any suggestion about it? Thanx.

    Resizing pics

    I recently bought a new camera, nothing special, but the quality of the pics is not bad at all. The only problem is when I try to resize them. They become very bad. Their size normally is 4000 x 3000 pixel, and i usually resize them to 600 x 450. When I do the same with the pics from my cell...

    Tree climbing certification

    I was just wondering how is the regulation in other countries... A new law came out here and it says that every five years a climber has to renew his certification attending a refresher course of eight hours(?????) For me it's just another way to take the money out of our pocket :/: Lately they...

    Chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus)

    Have you ever dealt with it? It's almost nine years since it was found in Italy for the first time. Now it can be found all over the country, more or less. Went to a customer last week who has four mature chestnut trees full of these galls. Chemicals don't work, thinking of trying with an...
