natural fracture pruning on Red Oak.

[sean]

A job I did last week. The first photograph shows major limb failure from last year. (This is what all you coroneters and natural fracture merchants should be aspireing to!) The tree is riddled with Resinaceum pretty much girdling the tree. The limb above the failed limb has fractured substantially. Although in a small wood it has a desire line running past and is popular with walkers within Richmond Park.

 

Spec was an average of 25% (lighter/heavier in places.)

 

I know this work is a contentious subject which some of you will appreciate whilst others will hate. All comments however are welcome.

Very nice Sean. I have a row of red oaks in the front park with the same and buttresses hollowing but i don't think my boss would like he likes to fell all tidy tidy:001_smile:

They almost look natural. I should think the general public wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the ground. Good work

Good job! Red Oaks love to tear don't they

Mind you i did talk him into letting me cut the dead boughs out of a red oak instead of felling it and it looks good.

Do look like really natural tears!

I know i feel guilty but the tree is still here instead of on the fire.
