I've done plenty big trees just don't get the chance for photos or "proper" work:lol:

 

Anyway, heres one for ya, and she was bigger than she looked, just ask mozza!

 

Not digging you out rob, this is advice!

 

1) when opportunity presents shorten lever arm, not just take of a parralel branch to bring in the profile.

 

2) every reduction is being done for a reason, establish the reasons in the case your dealing with and work to THAT purpose because if we dont we end up without achieving the result the complaint maker is expecting, complaints will only remain and the tree owner sees it as a nuisance sometime in the future too, and fells it!

 

depending on the objective I would say youve taken very little from the profile or density, and wasted an oportunity to establish a smaller framework

 

Some portions or limbs you have reduced to the drop crotch method, others the reduction by thin, this can make it look a little "confused"

 

I normaly wouldnt say anything, but I suspect you would want to know:001_smile:

you know a proper arb is about when they say a medium sized oak, which it is, but not to most! Many would call that a big tree!

Cheers Hama. I love the afterglow the next day after a job like that, when just pruning a Bradford Pear. Satisfaction and relief.

Quality 25% reduction on oak, left at 40 foot tall :eek:

 

Sadly not in a CA or subject to tpo, so it is 'ok'.

Not done by me btw!
