Fail!

So we finally get to a tree for a second time in thread! original photos in post 10 of this thread, tree actually reduced 11th July 2008, but posted in this thread 2009. Cant believe its been going that long now!

 

so first up the original post images before and after, and then todays job on the same tree, so just over 4 years to the repeat prune.

 

Last time foliage % was discussed by some, having had a good look this time while on site I reckon 60-70% of the foliage is removed this time, slightly more than last time as ive dropped a few crotches to thin out the heavy wood rather than just regrowth this time.

 

tree in Very good health:biggrin:

An interesting one from yesterday an oak pollard, the customer wanted a re pollard and we recommended that no work on the tree was needed and so we came to a compromise of a lift and reduction.

That looks nice? Did the tree have a problem to warrant such a heavy reduction?

I wont bother to make an assumption on the placement of the question mark, but in answer to the last half of the inquiry, no this was purely mangment, cyclical containment.

 

what some of us call canopy cover conservation!
