That looks cool Stevie, top class job there mate, specailly like the brown patches

 

I've heard if you spray it with 50-1 glyphosate it will sort out the brown patches

If you felt the tree was safe you wouldn't have used a rachet strap "just in case" when you climbed it.

 

 

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!

My loading of a fork via a rope and harnes at extreme angles and possible slips is a very different stress that precaution was just that a precation, for the work ON A FULL CROW WITH MY WIEGHT and leverage of rope points.

 

The strap slackened right off after the work and I am happy and I will GAURANTEE the work for twelve months!

 

That tree isnt going to fail in the next twelve months, and if you dont trust me, thats your problem.

come on tony, you cant guarantee that ANY tree will be ok in 12 months time, we could have a storm tonight or a tornado tomorrow.

 

do you think that a ratchet strap could harm the cambium? especially since it is twisted on the right hand fork:laugh1:
