This is NOT how to prune a veteran ash with Hispidus! AMATEURS, wouldnt mind, but this isnt some back garden lop and top by a do as you likey gang. It is a very old massive ash in the grounds of one of the most expensive golf courses/hotels in our fair land and has been monitored annually. I am not going to say where it is so dont ask, aint my style.

 

Suffice to say that is NOT how it is done and this has been proven by the fact that this season the hipspidus has gone into overdrive fruiting the biggest and most numerous brackets ive ever seen, and Ive seen an awful lot.

 

Its a very much loved tree on my watch, I am gutted. A beech with G. pfeifferi has also been monolithed, I saw the Pfeifferis and thought ooooh theyve grown a bit this year, then looked up to see the top gone!:thumbdown:

This one?

 

why not contact the land owner and have a chat around their tree management and take them a copy of the NTSG summary for land owners.

 

May even save them some money in the long run

Funny you should say that, Im going to ask Jill to send me a veteran tree leaflet series for that exact reason. Trouble is I have a feeling I know the consultant on watch and i will have to consider my words wisely to avoid making it awkward:thumbdown:

Black Walnut reduction and shape from today

 

havent seen a Juglans nigra for ages, in fact not since the largest one in the country was felled and I saw its remains in the yard of a new firm I was going to work for! a tree I had been intending on visiting, until I saw its bits in this yard!:thumbdown:

 

good job:thumbup1:

Beech reduction. There were a lot of upright stems in this tree. Made it tricky to get it to shape. Lots of leggy branches so not much to reduce to in places.

Yesterdays Ailanthus job.

 

Not a major reduction. More re-shaping, deadwooding, slight thinning and cutting back from over the roof.

Tricky one though as the branches on Ailanthus snap very easily.

Some amazing reductions in this thread! How long did it take for you to do that beech rob? I'm only just learning to do reductions so they take a while!..
