General Tree pics

[High Scale]

Tree of Heaven job, used a hoist, no room for mistakes and none made, phew!

 

Finished the trunk by headlights!

 

More pics soon I hope.

I found that the tree was lacking in suitable anchor points for my cambium saver.

 

if possible double wrap it \round the stem and even though it is not retriavable it provides a good firm anchor point on thin/ unavailable anchor point stems and seeing as its a dismantle no need to have the retrieve as you got nothing to cvlimb down onto . my cam saver is the 1.3 mtr one sometimes its too long but on jobs like that it has its benefits as being able to wrap it ...

Or use a ropeguide, which is retrievable, usually!

That Ailanthus looks nasty Carl....And working by car headlights is always a joy.

That job looked tight Carl, well done! What did you do just cut small and aim the pieces down, I couldn't see any rigging etc?

Exactly right Reg, cut small and aim, Hari, (Billythegoat) was in the basket helping me out with the crown but we did rig some of it down, the flex in the trunk was fairly alarming, a guy called Tom helped me out blocking the stem and I needed the help, that bugger was heavy!

Here are some pics a mate of mine took last week at Westonbirt - in December they light up the trees at night for an eerie enchanted wood look. I thought he took some really nice shots.
