Re: TREES
I share your pain, Jacksparrow
Aaaanyway, up turns Rob and declares that the birch can be dropped by a good 2 ft and given a severe haircut - prob solved. bless.
I even beat the price down by 20 quid . He's only young - putty in my hands .
He and his pal will be all right - I'll give them a cup of tea.
What ? What ?

Well, Rob, and Finn - have already been, lopped and gone !!
Lovely job. Actually it took them more time to clear up than do the work.
Interesting thing: had to move the suet cakes from the silver birch into, temporarily, the rowan. As expected, no prob for the blueys - they solved the puzzle in about 2 minutes. But the LTTs, who had been there first thing, couldn't find the cakes at all. Strange that they seemed less acute than blueys or great tits.

Re: TREES
The 3 super-thunderstorms of yesterday pm. have proved to be too much for the wonderful crop of rowan berries . This morning's bevy of woodpigeons beneath the tree drew my attention to the fact that 85% of said berries were stripped from the tree.
That's the end of it for this year

Re: TREES
A similar situation for me. I did see a few berries were gamely clinging on but for how much longer?Placido wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 5:42 pmThe 3 super-thunderstorms of yesterday pm. have proved to be too much for the wonderful crop of rowan berries .

The irony is that the berry crop was being reduced by the ongoing drought only for torrential rain to come along and decimate the survivors

Re: TREES
I planted an apple tree today. The big idea is to train it against the wall espallier fashion. It is only a tiddler about 3 to 4 feet high so the next crop may be very limited. However, 2030 should produce a bumper crop.
