Reduction of veteran ash tree

[Steve Bullman]

Carried out some reduction works on selected branches of this magnificent veteran ash tree today. Estimated through research to be around 500 years old, not sure how accurate this is though. All sorts going on with this tree, got a few pics

Nice work again Steve , I would of possibly hit that top right a bit harder ? I'm sure you had to work to a spec though ,looked an interesting tree for sure, enjoy working on veteran tree jobs more than any other sort of tree work.

The spec was fairly loose really, but it was such a nice tree we wanted to leave it looking natural as possible. Took quite a bit of weight out really, and after all it did just stand up fine to Doris
