have seen a lot worse by some hi fying comanys ,who bragg there the best & trees are ther heratige ,so folks dont worry about it, just make sure your doing top notch work all the time so that it cant be brought in to question

DON'T get me wrong, I'm certainly NOT advocating this is acceptable really, and certainly not as the norm, BUT, on occasion when the quote book is looking a little sparse then you have aliving to earn.

so tree health and good pruning can go out the window when every one needs work?????

 

i personally couldn't care less about the tree in question, but i thought you were supposed to have very high standards?

If a customer wants a heavy topping to help with light and leaves problems il try encourage them to have a say 20 percent reduction and light thin any more in my opinion

Will look good to start but reaction growth takes over more leaves and bigger leaves hence worse than before then they might have me back quicker but it's wasting their money but if they want a tree hitting hard il do it to hear people are struggling and they wouldn't do a job makes me laugh I have a wife and kids on the way I'd shovel crap in the middle of the night to make money

I wouldnt have had a problem with him doing a pollard if thats what they asked for, but making a large and what is going to be a dysfunctional rotting wound and leaving un reduced lever arms exiting directly at this point is WRONG.

 

Stuff the re growth, this can be managed, but the regrowth above on the upper limbs will Increase load whilst decay increases at the topping point.

 

a 30 % reduction, even 40% would have been as equaly effective, and left a balanced and long term solution.

Agree with you 100 percent mate I've also worked with people who take off too little too in my opinion climbing 40 to 50 foot trees and fair play to them getting right out on the tips but using snippers spending ages making say a sycamore for one instance into a perfect ball it's a skill but I hate it and seen one they done a while ago and the re growth looks crap
