General Tree pics

I’m slightly dismayed that this hasn’t been spotted by visiting UK Arbs before, what kind of a message is this sending out? Am I the only one who was thinking about trees while broadening my European cultural knowledge??

 

:lol:thats the best euphamism i have ever heard for getting amsterdamaged:thumbup:

a little wet weather job doing this week:001_smile:

[gibbon]

Last job of the year and my 1st climb with a rope wrench.

 

25% reduction (leaf area) 1.5m off the top and a bit less off the sides. About a 5th of the crown failed onto the bungalow roof in the late summer which is why its a bit thinner on that side.

 

Merry xmas tree geeks.

Mat,

 

did you do the whole climb on the wrench?

[gibbon]

Yeah. I'm going to try to use it exclusively for a month to give it a propper go. It's also a pain to get on as the spliced eye in my new England rope will not fit through. I need the pin.

I think the bigger the tree the better it will be, but I still managed to tip prune that little tree ok

Cool, cool, i've got one on order. Quite excited about trying it out. Tip top job by the way

Look I really, really do not want an argument, and I admire your getting out to the end stuff, but how does that rate as a 25pc reduction?

To me, it looks like a 10pc and light thin, was this tree TPO'd?

Who set the spec?

Like i said I am not after a row.

I'm not into arguing either. I set the spec. It's 25pc leaf area, which is backed up with what the reduction eqauls in dimensions. If you have a 5m branch with 90pc of.the buds on the last 1.5m, then a.small reduction removes lots of foliage. It's easier to demonstrate what's come off when you see the brash on the floor. I often stack it all out on the lawn and show the client before we chip. If there's 3 x as much up in the tree than behind the chipper its clear to everyone what's come off.

 

The tree has a tpo and the reason was to reduce the chance of more failures. By seeing what came off I'm happy that we achieved what I set out too.

Thanks for the explanation. Is this interpretation of a reduction normal?

All I can say is that if I had had a branch land on my house I would want a more significant reduction than that (in size)
