I dont think the pictures actuall did it justice. It was such a fine tree. (although completely rotten, the four stems were all hollow from the tops down) it came down in rather large lumps. Video to follow.

 

Wished id taken more pics as all thats left of that fine veteran is a pile of stumpgrindings. In a few months there will be a huge house there.

Also what you cant see from the pictures is the 5foot wide 20foot tall stem that it all grew out of.

That was a cracking vet ash, riddled with hispidus, eventually those necroses would have become like slits and as the cores rotted away become home to bats woodpeckers and many a fine beastie.

 

Nice shot of the decay in the stem Frank

We did a thorough check for signs of life. Fair few woodpecker holes but nothing else to write home about. The four main stems pretty much disintigrated whilst dismantling.

John nice to see you felled that tree to rescue a trapped dog:001_rolleyes: You couldn't enlighten me on the use for the high pulley block above the hobbs?

Nice work Frank, Bloomin big Ash. Did you have an ecological survey done or just as you went?

[Mark Bolam]

I'm guessing it's so you can put shed-loads of pretension on if required?

 

Glad the dog came out ok, happy ending!
