Big tree but i cant see your saw! Did you use a pruing saw?

 

Yeah, the Silky can handle up to 5 inches diameter, so I never take a saw up trees like that if I can help it. I used to use the top-handled on trees like that all the time, these days I'm older and wiser.

Finally remembered my camera. The client wanted to remove this tree, but we talked him out of it. Instead he went for some air spade excavation, root pruning, canopy work and a cambistat application. Got all the toys out today. Knocked over some Thujas too, grinding the stumps out later....

That would be Luis, my lairy little Guatemalen climber, and yes, I'm sure he'd take it home and sleep with that saw if I let him!

 

That was my first thought when i saw him sharpening it in pic#4!

 

Oh, and some very nice kit!

Thanks man. The spray/fert rig belongs to my mate, who is doing the airspade work for me. His company, 'Tree Health Management' and my company have joined forces to provide a complete arb service. Thoroughly satisfying to save this tree with all the kit we have to hand. Had to take a pic of my chipper infeed, so you lot can see what a proper one looks like!! :wave:

As Pete Mctree told me its NOT tree surgery we work in, its "tree care"
