Whilst I agree with most of your post, does the UK not have large or difficult trees?

 

 

 

Not many of them Joe. UK treework is mostly a doss. If you want to do big stuff on a daily basis you have to go to the PNW or the South Pacific.

 

Thats my opinion after working in the UK for five years, BC for two and Alaska for three, as well as NZ for 5 before leaving for Canada.

Agreed. We do get the odd one from time to time.

 

Balls to doing them daily.

Reading this I was thinking about that bloke in Tasmania, they do some massive trees but he made a right drama out of rigging a small tree to miss a shed. Different skill set.

I was working in the neighbouring garden to another arborist who was reducing an apple tree on 2 ropes . Took him all day !! I couldn’t help but laugh to be honest

He was probably only on 2 ropes because you were watching

During English class the teacher asks Little Johnny "have you ever heard of the word contagious before?"

 

"Of course miss" Johnny replies "my dad actually said it when we were talking yesterday". 

 

"Can you repeat it for the class and tell us how he used it in a sentence?" 

 

‘Yes, miss. We were watching the neighbours tree guy trying to reduce an apple tree using two ropes, and after a while my dad got bored of how slow progress was.  “That’s enough”, he eventually says, “let’s do something else, at this rate it’s going to take the contagious .”’
