So the consensus is no chemicals, hand removal, it will benefit the trees structure and livelyhood.

Got it.

Cheers, folks.

Why not compromise then?

De-ivy the canopy and leave the entrenched ivy on the main stem.

No wind loading issues then, some habitat is maintained, the bees are happy, and you only have to deal with smaller diameter stuff which is easier to pull off.

So, rare lichens, possibly.
 
Also sunscorch....in Waterford.
 
 
 
 
Last year? Yeah, Very real possibility. This year? Who knows? It does occasionally shine on this otherwise grey and foggy isle. . . Sometimes.

The priority is the continued existence of the tree, not bees, pigeons or lichen.

 

That is the only thing in the scales.

You’re dealing in hypotheticals, imaginary rare insects and a world where future pigeon stocks from a single tree are essential to our food supply.

 

Then you finish every post with some  meaningless managerial cant aimed at impressing some imaginary examiner, bizarre.

I’ve read that ivy will live on a tree/with the tree, BUT....will kill the tree if left for long enough. Be it by breaking branches due to the weight or stopping the tree photosynthesising because it overwhelms the trees leaves 

Sod the squirrels nests and the pigeons, and as the op said plenty more on the estate.

 

cheers

What it comes down to is having the information to make an informed decision rather than basing your decision on ignorance and past bad practice.

that isn't fair - you're just looking down on people now and all because you've given up manual labour and spent some time reading books. 

Anyone who mows their lawn regularly could be considered a destroyer of worlds.
