My first ever topping

[Dean Lofthouse]

Apart from lombardies and conifer I have never "Topped" a tree.

 

Until today, finally caved in to the customer who was going to get it done anyway. So I agreed to do it and try to keep it looking like a tree.

 

Will have to go back and remove epicormic no doubt in near future. Promised I would post before and afters for ridicule

 

Some, before, during and after. It was an Ash
