20 mins after the final cut the wind dropped and it stopped raining typical ...was in for a fell but the guy changed his mind at the last minute and wanted to leave as a stump to see if it would regenerate!

Nice little tree to get your teeth into Matty

 

I like jobs that take a few days rather than running round doing 2 and 3 small jobs a day.

 

Just dont like discing down huge butts

Luvverly job, was there anything wrong with the tree? (before you started that is)

[MattyF]

well he had lost 2 this summer that size that where out on an island just snapped clean in half !so i think it was mainly paranoia ...i didnt want to fell it to be honest slipped in a quote to reduce it to maybe change his mind but when i got up there though there where stress cracks on all major limbs, wood pecker holes at base of forks, bleedin canker, i think he just wanted to see the plane trees behind instead of a half defoliated tree due to leaf miner as well because it reminds him all his other chesnuts look the same!
