Don't follow me, follow the yellow brick road, that way you may end up where you actually want to get to :001_tongue:

 

 

 

Glad to hear the retained deadwood will get someone keeping an eye on it :thumbup1:

 

 

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. :001_smile:

 

 

Would setback the movement years.

 

 

 

 

 

As said earlier, nice bit of work. :thumbup1:

If I follow the yellow brick road won't I have to keep an eye out for flying monkeys!! lol.

 

Rest assured the tree will be monitored and if need be reduced again.

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.

 

I hope my comment didn't come across as critical as it was'nt meant to be. I like the job, my meaning was that as a cutter we spend years refining our "shaping" of trees and with this type of work its not always necessary to do this. Its harder than you think not to "shape" them, I find myself doing it and have to remind myself not too at times!

Not at all gibbon, I knew what you were getting at. :thumbup1:

Good job:thumbup1: Did you employ some fracture pruning on some of the cuts along with corronet to finish the effect?

Just the way some of the cuts look in the pic's.

 

The climber did try to fracture some of the smaller branches, but found that because they were dead they snapped of square (if you get what I mean) not leaving anything worth while. I'm sure it works much better on live wood. :thumbup:

Oak does fracture dead, get the climber to open up a small shallow diagonal cut, attach either a rope or pull line near to the end & get a groundy to pull it off.

 

Obviouslty dependent on climbers position & targets.
