looks like you missed some coros on that flushed Oak Mono below sean :001_tongue:

 

 

Nice set.

 

How do the great washed of Richmond react to this type of work?

 

 

 

.

 

They generally rant and rave and generally kick off and then either ask questions or are appeased by my informative and persuasive manner.:001_smile:

 

The beech have been causing a bit of a stir.....there are not many big ones left in the park so there has been alot of interest in the works. I must say though that on the whole they are generally interested and understand what we do. There is a minority who will just not listen to reason. They rant they rant they rant:thumbdown:

Either Treecompany or Richmond ever put up interpretation boards?

 

 

 

.

 

No we dont......should speak with the powers regarding it really......cant put notices on individual trees as the deer will eat them!!! Might be worth putting info on the general info boards that are dotted around the entrances though. Will bring it up.:001_smile:

Todays job.......to remove the upper canopy on this oak......large split with heavy limb to the left and upper canopy with extensive lean towards another oak and busy path.

 

Had to hire in a 34mtr platform and dismantle in smallish bits to avoid damage to lower canopy and canopy of neighbouring trees.

 

A couple of nice rips and coro.

 

Last one....lunch:001_smile:

couple more off the vets work list........1st job to prune back canopy of competing trees and 15 - 20% selective end weight reduction.

 

2nd job.....to remove the end weight of 1 limb......as can be seen a fine vet in danger of splitting in half.

 

3rd vet......15 to 20% selective end weight reduction on mid and lower crown.

and so the vets works list continues.......job we did today.....this fine old vet is on its last legs yet still holding on with 1 precarious limb aiming towards the heavens. Carried out a 10% selective end weight reduction. This was to reduce the weight on the lever but also to try and promote some new growth lower down the limb with a view to possibly bringing the height down in a few years. Seeing it at close quarters however i'd be surprised if this limb is still attached then.

 

 

Hired in a small tracked chipper. labouriously slow getting from a to b but a fine compact piece of kit. we had the 17 mtr one but MonkeyD had the 23 mtr and was just as compact.:thumbup1:
