Re: Heavy Oak Reduction.

Good work, nice to see veteran tree management would have been a shame if it had been removed.

Re: Heavy Oak Reduction.

i do believe you are working to my spec mate lol, do you have the original thread to see your markings on the picture to compare to the final outcome?

ps, cracking pic, it says a lot. the climber looks really relaxed and at ease in the crown.

The focus is meant to be on the climber - you Arbs, your just not artistic enough!

Re: Heavy Oak Reduction.

Argh this is the tree i just posted about in the other thread, a little hard for my tastes john but I am certain it will regenerate. Reckon she will need a good five years before the next prune though, having removed such a large percentage of the leaf area.
