How much did you take off the Euc Marc?

 

I don't know not enough probably, the spec said 15% on a Euc to me that means just get out as far as i can. Luckily I am close to the 11 stone optimum.

Not picking Marc, just wondered as it was a Euc.

 

Obviously not knowing the specifics of the tree, situation, or customer requirements, that reduction will grow back in a very short time!

 

Can you elaborate any more? Just curious mate.

Your right mate thats why i said not enough, although less is more! the reactive growth is a lot faster if you prune them heavily and harder to deal with on re visits. Basically if you carefully trim off 3-4 years growth it should take 3-4 years to grow back, spank off 8 or more years growth and it will be back in 3-4years only twice as dense.

The reason for the prune was to contain it, a retaintion prune or something like that:confused1: pointless i know but it pays the bills and the client is happy

 

It truly is a license to print money though pruning Euc's!! My opinion is leave them till it gets to big then fell it!!!

 

Still i do enjoy pruning them talk about bendy! you really got to keep your weight on that climbing system.

Nice one Marc, and a very good explaination. Guess its better regular pruning(if thats what the customer wants), and save that "toilet brush effect" being so bad!

 

Think i have the same feeling as far as live with it as long as poss then start again, but, what the customer wants and all that:sneaky2:

A nice pine I trimmed a couple years ago. Nothing special, I just like pines with a lotta leads like this one.

Did you have your house built with a defensive position in mind in case of invasion.

 

I know how paranoid you Jocks can be, building castles here there and everywhere
