They do that its nothing to worry about.

Low target issues, overall reduction would have decreased end loading with retention of first and second order scafold reducing large areas of dysfunction and bigger long term issues avoided, what a waste.

 

limb shed is a natural part of the species, and can be largley solved by tip and thin.

i was recently asked to take down a vetran beech because it had several sever pockets of decay in several main scaffolds by a so called tree inspector but i refused and thankfully the tree officer at the local council was in agreement with me . At some time or another we are all prone to jumping in with both feet and making rush decision that can lead to the removal of a tree needlessly or end up carrying out un nessessary works . In the case of the beech tree we have agreed to carry out a phased reduction of the tree over 5 years ie;- year 1 15-20% reduction of majorly decayed scaffolds , Year 3 - further reduction of remaining cannopy and year 5 formative work . during this time the tree will be regularly inspected and monitored to see how the tree responds at every stage .

Without knowing the tree or it's history, this approach sounds like sustainable client/Arb relationship, which, with sound reasoning can be a win win for Arb & more importantly Tree.

 

Good to hear.

i have a large cedar coming up after christmas. The client has had 3 or 4 companies in to assess the tree, 3 wanted tp fell it but the guy i climb for insisted it could be saved. Going to be a good 4-5 days work, thorough deadwood, thin and end weight reduction, along with some bracing for good measure.
