General Tree pics

[gibbon]

finished off clearing up the limb that came down since neighbours let us round there side today finally. a few more pics we realised theres another hole on the side we couldnt see, so looks like this tree will be comeing down the plan is to take couple of big lower limbs then fell the rest in oner the pic of the decay is looking up from top of the ladder to the top of the folk that split out.

 

It would be criminal to fell that. That would be a great habitat stump. Any sign of bats?

i said leave it as a pollard just above the failed limb but im just the climber see what the tree officer says to the boss at weekend, no signs of bats was a old hatched birds egg in there that was it.

Nice easy day today. First time using a mewp properly, deadwooding loads of pines. All chucked into the undergrowth - no clearing up

This is a snapshot of what the groundy was doing all day

Some beautifuly smudgy shots taken through a dirty smeary screen. The Ash had blown over into a Horse Chestnut, over a ond full of very smelly water, and black goo. We used the MJ crane to re-direct the winch cable from the Landy, so we could get the limbs and butt to the bank. The erosion of the bank meant we coudnt get close enough with the crane to just use that. Anyway all hoofed out now:biggrin:

Lovely sympathetic job mate

 

(I think "sacharinium has a double c "Acer saccharinum" ?) - I maybe wrong!

Got the chance to use my RC2000 yesterday on this little Blue Atlas Cedar, small tree but heavy timber, I am well pleased with the device, just half a wrap of the rope to lower the timber, very smooth and easy to let the pieces run away from the climber.
