Wobbly Sycamore take down pics

[Rupe]

This is a varegated Sycamore graft. You can see the graft line.

 

One huge limb off many years ago near the base and then another further up a few years ago, which has started to decay at that point. (top arrow)

 

There is only half a crown on it now, and its going to be pollarded for now to see how they like it, then may removed later.

 

The whole thing had a nasty wobby to it, it kind of twisted in the wind, not nice, but we rigged small as usual and let stuff hit the floor instead of catching it. Just didn't want to dent or damge the pristine buildings!!!

 

They ought to get some builders in to look at that leaky roof!!

Although they did have their own Church in the back yard......

Are they the hedges you tend to Rupe?? Or is that on another council estate near you??

[Rupe]

No I don't do these hedges thank god!! It takes the gardeners (four of them I think) three months to do the hedges, october to as soon as possible!! Late this year due to snow they have only just finished them in february!!

[Mozza]

Wow!! That would be mind numbing stuff, Fair play to them!

Going from the church I'll pan round to the right...
