Rip-off tactics

[AHPP]

Oak tree had a branch rip and hang in some wind a while ago. Tidied it up today. Choice was to cut at the red line and leave a hangnail on with a crevice down to the orange line or to do what I did and finish ripping it off to the green line essentially. My reasoning was that the crevice would harbour insects etc and the full, flat wound could heal better because it’s a simpler shape than the closed in crevice bit. 

 

 

Thoughts? Pros? Cons?

[AHPP]

Context if it matters.

Personally, in the absence of targets if leave it as is.

 

Not a great business model, granted

[Alan Smith]

I think I would do the same, winch off to avoid leaving a crevice as you say.

i tell em "that price was for cutting it down, if you want it all taken way thats another 500 quid"
