Todays beech tree pics

[armchairarborist]

todays job, beech tree with all sorts wrong with it, dropped some height off first then felled. lots of logs to collect another day..

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Exactly what was wrong with this tree? you say plenty?

 

might be a bit thin on the one side and little inner canopy but otherwise looks o.k?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

mmm, suppose there is a notch point of failure on compression side

Looks like a good job, but, and theres always a but!

 

That must be the smallest gob ever know to man, did you just scratch that out of the bark?

 

I like the danger signs too, does it say something like "DANGER!, steal this wood and be heavy beaten"

Nice work but leaving the wood there is brave.

 

 

If you left that wood on the deck round here it would vanish, first the smaller stuff then the rings 2 days max

I have climbed that tree and to use a technical term it wasnt very well

There was no but rot, there was no signs of major dysfunction in any of the logs lying there that I can see, the foliage was the right colour and was not overly thinned.

 

saying that youve climbed it and "it wasnt very well" just doesnt cut the mustard with me kiddo!

 

from what i saw it was well vital and viable, and even failure would have missed the structure from the angles im getting in the photos.

 

All i am asking is for some validation to the reason for felling a good sized tree with no visibly obvious symptoms to determin a fell option.

maybe they just wanted it down

i'll validate the reason:

a wallet full of cash and a crust on the table!
