Nice oak reduction

Looks like 90 percent of it is a lovely job. Got to ask though, why did you batter the lower left portion of the crown, when looking at the photos?

 

I could be wrong, but 90% of the tree has been reduced t decent growth and then there looks to be about 8-9 header cuts in the lower left of the crown.

What were the objectives? No idea how nice the job was, without knowing WHAT the job was. BS or ANSI, objectives determine specifications. :001_smile:

 

"I would class that as a good gutting out or a thin,"

 

good as in thorough; "gutting" is also a term used in the US, not often in praise however...:blushing:

 

"I would think its cut back to the path or gutter on the shed"

 

Pics can be deceiving, but that cluster of cut ends look to be metres away from the gutter, and metres above any path....:confused1:

from what I was told the owners wanted the tree cut back even further from the property's so a full reduction was recommended, instead of just facing back from the buildings. when I came to do the lower part of the crown on the side over hanging the path/buildings it was evident that it had been poorly cut back before which had lead to a lot of die back in that portion of the crown which obviously didn't give us a prime choice of growth points, so I had to make the best of a bad situation on that side, thanks for the feedback though

OK, all good. The time to judge a pruning job is not right after, but 3 years after.

 

Our job is to view client goals in light of our knowledge of biology and ecology, compromise and determine objectives, then write and carry out specifications. It will be interesting to see how that one regrows--can you click it again in 12 or 24 months?

ye I definitely understand where your coming from, I will be going back in a few years time as I'm curious to see how it comes back myself. cheers
Excellent, thanks. :thumbup1:

 

I wonder--is that primary fork a hazard to split? Not he best angle, but it looks a bit dodgy from the street. :sneaky2:
