Nice one james.

Quite rare that we get a big dismantle like that. Wish they were more often.

Fomes fomentarius would be my guess.

Do you know the failure history?

Another fine example to prove that 'Beech' can take a topping & be able to sustain itself.

Good post Slash :001_smile:

Fun little job yesterday morning. This Ash had split pretty bad at the base and was leaning against the Sycamore. Some of the buttress was completely rotten and it was impossible to tell how much of the weight of the Ash was being supported by the Sycmore.

Climbed the Sycamore, had a quick look around. Set a line on the Ash, came down and tensioned it with the Navara. Then went back up the Sycamore and started whittling away at some of the crossing branches so it would Fell without getting caught up. Came down without any trouble.
