Question about pruning cuts..

[David Humphries]

Tree officer? I'm glad we don't have them.

 

Is there no equivalant at all at local municipal level ?

 

Who protects the Veterans and Developement site trees etc, from you Big Tree Choppers ?

[MasterBlaster]

The trees are on their own here, mate. We have tons of em.

Its a good job if you can get it. They only come up once in a blue moon in the northwest and you need experience in dealing with planning issues and preservation orders to stand a chance.

 

I'll continue pruning the 'target pruning' way until he comes up with some paperwork to state otherwise!

Is it still possible to paint the leaves of epicormic growth with contact herbicides ( not systemic or translocated, for obvious reasons) it was a practice i knew of 20 years ago.

I've always cut where the two meet, I think the Tree Officer is wrong.

MB,

We had tons of em too once upon a long time ago.

This Green and Pleasant Land was once covered with up to 80% canopy.

These days its sadly about 6%.

Mans thirst for land clearance does occasionally need to be kept in check.
