Re-pollarding

[Husqvarna King]

I have some Lime trees that i have re-pollarded a few times now, they get done every couple of years, about 3ft DBH all the way to the top pretty much and 25-30ft tall.....i normally use a ladder and strop where possible which i dont like doing but find it easiest.....What would you lads say is the safest/easiest method for such trees......oh and no i dont wanna use a MEWP!! Thanks

just climb to the top, get main anchor point, and go to the bottom and start pollarding, all the way to the top, simples

If they get done every 2 years Joe, there wont be much at the top to anchor into, will there?

an anchor point on what joe??? the stems are too thin to tie into...and its a straight stem with a wider ball type top....old pollards

Can't you make yourself a false ancor point out of rope and climb off that (if you know what i mean), I do

spike up then and one big cut!

yeah thats true wood picker, i'm fortunate to not do many 'street tree' type trees like pollarded limes , could you not make a false anchor point ?

Yeah this works, but this doesnt really help for the top...ok it would stop a bad fall but you cant really work from it at the top
