Biggest tree you have ever been up and dismantled (uk only)

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I see a plan hatching here guys, and i reckon sky might be interested in the ratings that might be got from seeing england v's the yanks at a bit of hard labour!

 

I wonder just how much "english arb humour" the Humourless yanks could take!

 

the carnage would send ratings through the roof!

are we talking american feet or english feet..:-)

 

don't think we've got anything near 100 proper feet down here...

It would be mint like we can only dream mate ad15 I don't think it would matter how high they are we can all go up in a straight line and knock tops off that's all they do I'd love it no dragging brash chipping cleaning up you just smash branches down until you get to a certaian height then smash the top off

I love shaping trees and all that and getting job satisfaction lookin at a nice tree but every now and then would be nice to spend a few month just smashing stuff up. Woodzie would there be buckfast involved for the night time entertainment I hope so pal

You cock!

Sorry, that should have been a capital "C"

Biggest dismantle was about 80 foort ash i recon, but the biggest climb was a 145' ish sitka. Measured it to 136' and reckoned there was about 10' left.....it was quite skinny there though so i stopped climbing....

Probably a 60-70ft Ash (well, I've only been climbing for 10 months in a work environment) That was tall and skinny, not much in it.

In the same garden I dismantled a 50-60ft Holme Oak which was spreading almost as far as it was tall.

That was back in feb, haven't had any medium to large trees to do since then.

Looking forward to doing a 100ft+ at some point.

You cock!

 

 

Its always interesting to check on arbtalk in the morning to see what time I got in the night before!!!!!!

 

I only went out for a couple!

 

Anyway, I meant its a Cock question, not that the poster is one. Don't know him, no offence meant.

last week was my tallest and also the most simple. 100ft chunky pine tree just spike straight up and drop everything, then on way down crash off some big lumps of timber till i got it down to about 30ft then fell the trunk had alot of trees that are wider than they are tall and they always seem taller some how.
