Beech from today slimiest slippery tree I've done in a while about 3-4 Meter due to some one cutting it in half many years ago and the regrowth all on big cavities ..had been lions tailed badly so no decent growth /reduction targets to hit.

Half way though and afterImageUploadedByArbtalk1481660001.918260.jpg.1efe5fc10dff05e263f5b25507cf3efb.jpg

You need 3 things to get a good reduction. A nice tree, a good spec and a good climber :001_smile: The worse any of those three factors get the worse the tree looks :lol:

 

Crap tree + crap spec + me = rolling turds in glitter:thumbup1:

That Beech reduction looks tidy.

A bit of polishing from a couple of weeks ago. Large mature weeping Beech we reduced, it had lost limbs on the right of the canopy and a major scaffold on the left. 442864812f0e8a1e5d07e1528f6939a0.jpgBeast of a weeping beech

Really pleased with how this beech came out today. Been climbing part time for 4 years and only just getting the hang of doing reductions without checking if im cutting in the right place or not. The spec was for 3m and a 15% thin, not sure I took that out but then the tpo app also said it was 20m (more like 14) so I just did what I felt was best
