Great thread Mick, best laugh I’ve had in a week!
At the end of the day if you don’t hammer a real nice ancient tree then they all grow back or can be replanted [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Be fair, they saved a few hundred quid from a bunch of rip-of arborists, and three months hire for the scaffold tower would have only been a couple of hundred, a few skips at £240 each .

It makes perfect sense, and it's nearly finished.

More like someones scaffold tower who has an allotment, a bow saw and a weekend burn to get shut of the evidence..  cost about ten quid as opposed god knows what..   good luck to em if your asking me....

The simple truth is that in most cases we don’t manage trees, we manage people.

Trees are pretty happy to do their own thing.

Arb as we know it didn’t happen much before the ‘70’s.

 

I try and educate as I go, but I’m a realist as well, and my wife needs new shoes now and then.

It's quite simple mate, whatever trade, if 'they' want it polishing, that's what gets done.
