Re-pollarding

[skyhuck]

Surely any false attachment you could make would need to be removed afterwards, which would require a ladder.

 

No.

 

Just comes down with your rope.

Yeah, there are four, and its do-able in a day for me and groundie, access would be a pain as there is only a small track that is access to a carpark, so MEWP would have to be moved every 5 mins to let a car in or out....also the cost, it seems a little over the top to price in a Mewp for such small easy trees. It doesnt need one so i dont want to eat in to the profit. Just wanted your guys ideas for safety mainly....I always feel like a cowboy using a saw off a ladder

 

Sometimes its the best way. Make sure you wear a stein jet pilot lid and then you look like a pro.

even on heavrly pollared limes more tight crotches than a convant

[Alinicoll]

No.

I can`t visualize a false anchor that you could easily work a pollard stem top from and then deacend and remove. Unless you have the perfect size cambium saver.

spikey spikey, thumpy thumpy and get rid of the big horrible knuckle, jog done. Cutting a perfectly good tree in half just to keep cutting it back every 2 years and chipping the brash isnt exactly arbor tastic, i know spike marks may look bad if you have a magnifying glass and a rod up your back side, and the big knuckle stores energy, but the tree is getting butchered anyway. Oh sorry, pollarded, topparded or whatever folk call them to make themselves feel better.

Nah, to be honest they look good in their setting, and cutting the knuckle off would spoil them. They are outside some offices so better than nothing
