Oak Vetranisation Northampton

[Ben]

I would like your comments on the work carried out on the Oak tree below.

 

The reason for the work was to reduce the amount of dead wood in the crown due to the tree being in close proximity to a busy dual carriageway. Also to maximise the trees usefulness for wildlife by the use of coronet cuts.

 

I have attached before and after photos, and photos of the coronet cuts.

Looks good, I like it.

[Graham]

Looks good to me too.

Good job, the only thing I would say is that doesn't always have to be a "shaped over" shape, it can look more natural when its left more jagged. The cuts are good though and its a good overall effect. I think its what we should all be doing, lose all the loose crumbly dead and keep the rest where we can

[David Humphries]

I think the work looks just fine.

 

Is the tree within a regular inspection cycle?

Thanks you for your comments gibbon, I shall take onboard your comments for next time.

 

It is the first time that the contractor involved has carried out this type of work for me, and I must say I and very pleased by the end result.

Don't follow me, follow the yellow brick road, that way you may end up where you actually want to get to

 

 

 

Glad to hear the retained deadwood will get someone keeping an eye on it

 

 

Last thing us Tree/deadwood preservers needs is poor little Johnny having to get a surgeon to dis-embed a great big corro outta his noggin.

 

 

Would setback the movement years.

 

 

 

 

 

As said earlier, nice bit of work.
