Oak tree mutilation?

[Taupotreeman]

Saw this on my travels this morning. Wondered if the local mowing contractors had been over stepping the mark again.

viable pollard that.

 

 

No rips or tears.

 

If its what the customer wanted, whats the problem???

It is a mutilated Tree, but it is a Tree rather than an ex Tree.

 

 

I guess the outcome can only be judge upon history & reasoning behind the decision.

I though it was an old photo of one of my jobs from years back.

It looks like a very little Oak tree to start with .

 

Funny I had one of these the other week very short little oak main trunk but thin branches going out to the sides way way to far for the whole tree size the customer wanted me to reduce it . my little Oak turned out very different to the similar tree in the photo .

 

I was gentle with my cutting I able to reduce it all in and kept all the little branches but carfully took each one in to make the whole tree smaller but keeping its shape and its beauty

 

It would of taken me longer to do what I did with mine but it was well worth it for th outcome of the little tree. sometimes time constranints that are put on the cutters can play a large part in the end result for the tree.

 

its difficult to make assumptions unless one was actually there and was able to understand the reasons for the choice of depth of cutting . The customer could of asked for it or there may of been other unsean problems with the tree.

Looks like a typical job from someone close to me. I've heard he's thinking of moving to NZ, maybe he's already there.
