No it just reads invalid attachment. Was it new split or an old one?

Care to suggest an alternative solution to retain the tree, US style?

 

Yes sir, my good man!

[Marc]

Why ruin such a nice tree? That is just wack, yo.

 

You're NOT SUPPOSED to do that to trees, don't ya'll know?

 

British "arborculture" is sure different that American. I wonder who's doing the right thing?

 

To assume you were lionstailing from a few after shots without seeing before shots is not fair.

 

Neither is it fair to assume that such a heavy reduction is with out justification without the facts.

nice one Marc, I'm not normally a bitch!

A tree with NO targets does NOT need to be topped. Period.

Irresponsible tree trimming practices know no national boundaries. As professionals our eyes are drawn quickly to procedures that seem questionable. I learned early in my career not to be too quick to judge. Because often there is a reason.

 

As professionals we tend to fall into a style of pruning that fits our location and our clientele preventing us from understanding what may be necessary in a totally different situation.

 

I don't like rules; there are too many exceptions. As arborists we need to be able to use all of our knowledge to preserve and maintain trees.

 

However, I do agree with Butch on the coronet cuts.

Assumption is the greater part of mis-understanding.

 

To quote your rainbow page of cabling info, Trees that are too severely

damaged should not be cabled, as a false sense of

security may be created. Before installing cables in a tree, the tree should be

properly pruned and its structure evaluated.
