Tree you least like pruning

[Mac McLennan]

Mine's is Ash.

 

Done a tree yesterday that had two large branches fail.

 

I always find it a mission climbing around them....particularly when there isn't a decent cental stem.

 

Here it is.

Any Veterans, specialy when you get that doubt in your mind, that the reduction and/or retrenchment work you're doing to help stabilise the tree for it's or the public's benefit, might just throw the tree over the edge and send it reeling towards it's early demise.

 

Practicaly speaking, it's Robinia or Elm.

Ash for me too. How i annoying is it when branches just fail, not a problem if your dismantling them, but if your doin any work on them, what a swine.

Purple leaf plum. Yuk.

Ash. Especially. Large ones. The limbs are just not climber friendly.

Also Pops for the same reason.

All do-able but no fun!
