General Tree pics

[Marc Lewis]

A few pic from a couple of weeks ago. This Beech had honey fungus and Meripilus. Steve Walker came and climbed for me, and did a sterling job.

All timber was disced up and left on site for the customer to split. The stem was left at gutter height. We'll be back to take that down once he has room for some more firewood.

 

That looks like an enjoyable job. I don't think you can beat a job like that on a dry sunny day.

Biggun that JP.

 

This Lime threw a massive leader a couple of weeks back, then shat itself properly in the storm last week.

The hardest thing about today was burning the top in persistent rain.

 

The shed roof is now leaking.

 

 

The last shot shows the decay pattern at about 15'. The lighter in the bottom of the shot is sitting on a small Gano bracket about 3" across.

 

I doubt a visual inspection would have revealed much else apart from the obvious inclusions.

 

Bottom of the stem was totally sound.

Cable bracing the Seddon Oak, planted around 1892 in Taupo. The tree had begun to grow around the old bracing so replacement and renewal. This is stage two of the rehabilitation of the tree that had been neglected and unloved for quite some time. Next stage is a reduction, to be carried out over winter and then in stages after that to reduce the size and lever action of the heavy limbs.

Mark were you really trying out this fangled fracture pruning.

 

 

On a real note, surprised the shed stayed up.

A bit of a re-balance on a walnut then making safe and Aspen failure.
