Should have stickered the stacks to promote drying and prevent rot. Those are the perfect environment for fungus as they sit.

Today went well. Removed three big ass clump river birch trees. Finished around two. Did some office stuff and now I’m getting ready to go trick or treating with the kids. They can walk while the wife and I drive the side by side around.

I just put a sign in my yard that says we’re at the neighbors. I’m a bit out of the way for the progression of trick or treaters. Just easier to put a candy bowl at the neighbors. Also my patio fire pit and my firewood are up there right now. Trick or treat here is always on Halloween and at...

Few trees probably grow in that climate. Poplars might be cold hardy.

Makes sense, thanks.

it‘s kind of ironic that the tree‘s that can’t cope with larger cut‘s well get hammered alot. we often reduce them and i try my best to make proper reduction cuts. i‘m not saying i never do pollarding but i definitly prefer to leave a tree or a stump behind and not a hat-rack.

Fallen Oak, Birch x 2 and pine clear up. Had the kids out with us to help. All chipped into the woodland and logged up the first day and then today we milled the bottom 6 metres of the stem for some boards for the customer today. We also felled a goat willow and winched the footballs back into...

It’s alien to you guys, but it makes sense to me. It’s not worth dicking around with poplars. Plant them, wait till they get too big, butcher them, cut the regrowth periodically, till the tree starts to rot out, fell it, replant.

I don't often see pruning like that here. Poplars grow fast so it seems logical that they might have to be 'hit hard'. What say you arborists here- in the same situation, how would you prune these trees? Arguably they are the wrong tree for the site, but since they are there, is there a...

I carried out rejuvenating pruning of poplars.

Happy to see you, Chris. I wondered where you'd gone and what you're up to.

Papa Andy used to say "I'm participating in Halloween, I turned the porch light off, put the meanest dog in the front yard, locked the door, and went to bed early. That's how you celebrate that holiday, right?" The older I get, the more I agree.

Yes, forum was down.

The deer have been bedding down by the house again. They must know I don't hunt. As soon as I dumped my can of fuel in the house and closed the car door, they dropped back down.

I went my Golf to sound like this every time I leave a light. :/:

Odd error messages, and sometimes offline completely.
