That's not a "numpty" question. It's a genuine interest and shows enthusiasm. If you didn't ask it, someone else would.

 

So..... What was the job spec. The outcome looks spot on mate.

it was prob around 25 % but the pictures are decieving ,the customer was happy to do what was best ,but they origanilly wanted 50 % off which would have looked shocking as theres no growth on the inside i think i acheived what i wanted

Nice one, any more and it wouldve looked like a Mug rack. haha

id have done 100 % it would have made lovely firewood :

i might add at this point that it was my first cherry reduction ! though to be honest i havnt done a massive amount of reductions they all seem to be fells !

makes a nice change looking back at something other than more light

For full satisfaction go back to the willow a year after the work. We did a medium weeping one a couple of years ago (in winter) that didn't look 'weeping' at all when we'd finished with it but a year on I was working next door and spoke to the client; she was made up with the resulting regrowth forming a thin curtain descending from a high crown. My climber had had the foresight to make a nice job of it.
