I've seen plenty of robur cut like that die off - maybe rubra is more up for it. Red or dead

I have retopped some rubras lately, really vigourous regrowth on very solid attachment points, almost London plane like, underrated garden tree IMO.

Saw this little beauty today - was a pretty good looking tree last week - cant even see what their reasoning was considering it is at the bottom of the garden well away from the house.
Now they get to look at this every morning when they open the curtains - good job they got the pro’s in!

I love a good birch reduction. I've got a few estates where the real pro's and learned householders have had a bash at it. They're a thing of beauty.

That’s a cracking job, there will be hardly any leaves for them to clean up now and loads of light getting into the garden.

I did this one

Caught seamus in the act on this 1. They were butchering a lovely beech 2 doors down. My client said they could hear the homeowners shouting when the got home.

I feel that not enough people on here are whipping themselves into enough of a furious frenzy about something they’ve seen somewhere (a la Facebook treesites)
 
To remedy this aberration, and so we can all point and laugh at something and make ourselves feel like real pros I’d like this thread to bring to light stuff we’ve seen somewhere.
 
Heres mine, a red oak topped 9 years ago that clearly hadn’t been to college, so instead of dying like it should have to show the clients how thick they are and in need of ‘educating’ by a snotty kid who’s just finished his ten weeker, had the audacity to thrive.
 
Preceded by what should happen to the tree surgeon involved.

This is my local church yard in Hastings, these trees must have had a TPO, they are certainly in a Conservation area.

The Yew was stunning, as wide as tall, stripped to a 40’ pole, the Pine next to it completely bereft of all growth point but left at 40’, the two Sycamores stripped to poles but the Ivy was never severed so now they are Ivy poles, a lovely yellow berries Ilex out of shot, pruned to ground level.

Much better now, I can see where to get my ironmongery.
