cedar top removal

[Marc]

Pointless really to comment i can't see a pic which clearly shows an after shot or good before shot to know exactly what happened, some on here even thought the tree had been felled completly.

So easy to assume the facts even i did at first.

I think Hama'd makes a valid point as for me personally i don't want to be just a cutting climber, i want to have a say in what i do this is just the direction i want to take in my own career. Personally i think all arborists should go this route we should be the future champions of trees with a more sympathetic approach to tree care.

But then i have been called the round peg trying to fit into the sqaure hole by my one and only employer, i've come to just accept we are all individuals and have are own paths to follow for our own reasons.

 

As for overall reductions i've worked on many mature Cedars i've yet to come across one that needs an overall reduction, i've not seen many suffer root palte failure just major branches / scaffolds, hence most Cedar reduction work i've done has been partial/selective reductions of heavy laterals or branches showing sigins of weakness or previous partial failure etc. Just my 2 cents on mature Cedar reductions.

I have worked on many mature Cedars, when they lose a branch they normally lose more over the following years, I think just making good the damage is all that can really be done.

 

I did a climbing inspection last year on a truly massive Cedar of Lebanon for a consultant who has condemned it due to, in his opinion, root heave, if it does fall over it will take the front off the Georgian mansion it's adjacent to, the owners however have not carried out his recommendations as yet.
