General Tree pics

You mean if you took a pic from further back we could all see what a funny shape it ended up:001_tt2:

 

damm, you got me:biggrin:

not much of a central anchor there steve, good job as per usual, heres my reduction today from the best angle possible and a conifer bashing:thumbup1:

[Stephen Blair]

and before anyone says, i snipped off the ends of the right hand lower branches in the reduction, and the pole pruner was for the conny lol

You have missed a great opportunity for a 'jump the wall' stunt fell with the conny, you heathen. And I bet wee Gloria was running while you were up there and you were having some target practice!

 

Reduction looks good mate. I'm impressed.

cheers mark, the conny is bigger than it looks, its got a huge butt on it for the height of it. The wall has a big crack along it so it wouldnt of taken any nonesense, and it was all staying in the owners garden.

fiddly little willow reduction....couldnt get far enough back to get a decent pic from any angle.

 

Nice reduce steve what was the spec 20% 25%

Nice reduce steve what was the spec 20% 25%

 

tree officer had allowed up to 25%, just less that this off though generally.....the neighbours side come in a little harder.

This is my current project and what a pain in the backside it is.

 

Trees are all 90ft+(i know because i measured them). customer is concerned about them falling on the wires.....several of them have various fungi, mostly polyporous. spec is to deadwood, and reduce the weight back over the moat. Everythings going to be speedlined across to the bank on the other side. Electricity wire is pretty close which limits our angles somewhat. the biggest tree's tips are about level with the wires but a good 30ft+ above them so these will(hopefully:biggrin:) peel under and speedline diagonally across the moat. Just to make things interesting for the groundies theres a nice load of beehives that they couldn't(or wouldn't?) move. It's on day works so no pressure.....allowing a day per tree as theres so much rigging/redirecting of the speedline involved.

 

video to follow once the jobs done

cant you work off the other side of the moat and sell the client on (habitat piles)

[Steve Bullman]

trying to rig those ends through the crown onto the bank would be an even bigger ball ache....speedlinings the most sensible option for these.
