Silver Birch reduction

[Mark Bolam]

Take a picture from the same point in exactly a year from now and post it, Rupe.

 

I fully appreciate that the tree had been worked on before, which is exactly why it was so dense. Nice work, but that Birch would be less prone to any type of failure if it had never been touched.

Yeah but it had been touched hadn't it. And now it's been touched again and probably will again. Tree management. Woopwoop

Isn't this what we do for a living? The ££££££ are a vital part of that.

Nice work mate looks good and natural I love how so many different views on tree work from that bad lime reduction to this nice one someone will love it or hate it

[chris cnc]

i like it. at the end of the day the tree looks good, it is an advert for you work and reputation, and will help you to earn £££... which is why we are doing this in the first place after all.

Same here to say we should leave them alone doesn't that mean we should plant trees and that's it we'd be out of a job looks good to me rupe

Thinned quite a few birches in the past as they are a pretty forgiving tree to prune. Plenty of growth points to work with and usually quite an even distribution of branches. Always to let more light in. Our work is about making trees easier to live with. If someone has a tree that close to their house and don't want to lose the tree then surely a reduction or thin or mixture of both is the only option?

Good work Rupe, looks great. Did someone build a housing estate at the back there while you were doing it? That isn't a comment on the length of time it took you , by the way:001_smile:

[Mark Bolam]

Rupes work was spot on, and the tree looks great.

 

In a year or two it will look how it did before he got there.

 

My 'pointless' comment was from a trees/customers point of view, not an arbs with a mortgage to pay.

 

At least half my work is 'pointless'. I still do it, but I think recognising the fact that trees don't ask us to reduce them deserves some thought.
