Dead Stem in Pine

[DrewB]

Removed dead stem for safety with planned removal of whole in not so near future.ugly but to spec....

hows it going drew?old man pine,luvly,how come u didnt take the whole tree down then?

[DrewB]

its the gallipoli remembrance pine outside the auckland museum planted by the war vets society so removal is not an option til the tree is totally dead.theyve planted a new one next to it so once thats established it wont look so bad. got some funny looks doing the work. not big tree atall just hi profile.

Did you have any luck with the courses?

[atree]

cool,thats good that they planted a new one next to it,just really keeping options open where i want to work in the next year here or uk,mite speak to my boss about the course through wintec

[Mark Bolam]

Shame, but the right choice I reckon.

 

Lowering dead Pine is not to everyones taste!

 

Hows the replant doing?
