sick monkey puzzle

[carlos]

just looked at a friends monkey puzzle, probably 30 to 40ft, and about 75% of the branches had gone brown, i couldnt see anything that had obviously caused it, what are the chances of it bouncing back, i dont have much experience of these trees.

thanks carl

I haven't known one bounce back from the description you give.

thanks, i didnt think it looked very promising, but the tree owner was keen on the tree, so i thought id ask.

Then they're a tasteless prick with worthless opinions.

 

 

Another one for client psychology, @Mick Dempsey?

ah  i see you have worked with monkey puzzle before!!!

[AHPP]

Never done one. Never going to. I've seen them up close. That was bad enough.

My first ever tree job was being a groundy on a monkey puzzle fell. Welders gauntlets offer a bit of respite.

I would tell them it's perfectly fine, doesn't need any work whatsoever for all least 15-20 years (adjust that to your expected retirement age) 

As an added bit of security give them your 'new' phone number for any further concerns.
