good job mate.

[MattyF]

first time????very nice ...and i would be happy with that !

[alex_m]

cheers, yep, first time. i've been climbing in industry for about 4 months.

 

did a similar sized h chestnut for my second, last week. i quite enjoy them now.

i was sh*tting it before starting the walnut reduction

[Steve Bullman]

very nice shape alex, id be happy with that.

if i was going to nitpick, i'd probably have thinned the right side of the tree a little to match it with the left.

[alex_m]

yes i agree,

but for some reason, the thin looking side is thin because it had lost most of the leaves.

next year it may look alot more even.....

[Steve Bullman]

fair enough. often times trees dictate what needs to be done anyway

[Stephen Blair]

i am always very impressed with the southern tickle, you have a good eye on you, looks great mate

[Mozza]

Good job Alex

[MattJordan]

I reckon it was a 10% reduction maybe?

[ukminch]

ukminch - not 100% on the details - i'm just the stupid climber

 

I love it. Nice one. 5% either way of 15% I reckon. Nicely done, hope previous post didn't come across as critism, after re-reading it, it may have done. Certainly wasn't intended.
