A delicate touch.......

[David Humphries]

Multi stemmed 90' Beech, Xylari sp (dead mans fingers) in the union behind rh stem.

 

2m reduc, to bring it down from protruding out of the surrounding canopy.

Which will reduce wind load on the four stems.

Arissings broken up & spread ontop of the root plate to be left as a subtle deterent from foot fall & also as a biennial fertiliser.

 

Had the oportunity to update a climber from another team, on the hitch & Vt as an alternative to their Blakes.

Good work david.....and a fine beech. I bet them there stems rock around in the wind!

 

I like the idea of spreading the arisings around in that manner. Wouldnt last two minutes in the park however.....the deer would be tucking into them before you'd even left site.

Something that Ted & Neville have been talking about for a while.

 

 

The Big Oak in the field by the car park at Hatfield has a ring of short posts out at the drip line, with branches from the reduction spread out as a carpet inside it.

Definately keeps people & vehicles off the plate.

 

As you allude to, it's totaly dependent on the specific site though.

Not just the deer, dogs & kids would also spread it in no time.

Highgate Woods in the middle of North London.

Did this tree really need fidling with, i know of lots like this and never give any recs, was it just an excersise to say you are aware of the tree and are working to reduce targets

 

Sorry just seems a bit pointless to me
