Transplanting Monkey Puzzles

[Arborist]

Keith Yates had the RAF come along with a chinook and remove a large wind blown off of a house, If I remember correctly the RAF used it as a training exercise and the Tree/home owners insurance paid for it!

This saga is moving on.....

 

It looks like the tree will end up getting felled, but questions are coming in about taking cuttings. (started another thread in landscaping about that) But in the last email was this;

 

 

What would you say is the approximate weight of the tree ? Someone has suggested utilising a helicopter to my dad ………it sounds crazy to me 

 

Edit; Turns out that there is a local helicopter company that do do under-slung lifts, so I need to now start to calculate some estimates of the likely load.

 

Always something different in Arb
