Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!

[gibbon]

Are we all starting to understand eachother! whatever next? do you do a lot of retrenchment pruning gibbon? its an area I would love to do more of, crown retrenchment restoration etc, i mean more on a daily basis as aposed to not having done any!

 

Yes, not every week but due to the nature of my clients we work with a lot of big and old trees. Of out now but this is one I posted before xmas

maybe your not doing the sides proportionaly to the hieght and hence letting it become a low wide crown as aposed to a narrower form which would lessen the angles of your rope from anchor to the limb walk?

 

In some cases, true. In others not. I find crown shape fairly species-dependent anyway.

 

Sometimes it's because some well meaning customer has decided to get involved in the spec just as I'm thinking it's beer o'clock!

just caught up with this thread,took me nearly an hour, how fast do you boys type,

 

i always thought that epicormic/adventitious growth was a reaction to the pruning, and a trees natural process in regaining foliage from where its get energy from photosynthesis via sunlight, energy needed to enable the tree to repair/occlude any pruning wounds created.

I'd say to pay the bills and buy things.
