i hate pruning any tree that has been pruned really badly in the past ie pollarded. the old saying "u cant polish a turd" comes into force.

 

 

HEY HEY HEY keep your language down! I'll have you know i'm very fond of proper pollarding, and so is the site owner ain't that right Steve?

 

Nothing wrong with ''proper'' pollarding, its BS topping wrongly titled pollarding that gets my goat..

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.

Giant American Elms- "especially when they cover four different yards."

 

Huge Pin Oaks- "because they usually take all day to prune just one and the wood is tough as rocks."

 

Colossal Honey Locust- "the ones with the massive ball of spikes every few feet, wood also hard to cut."

 

Monstrous Sugar Maples- "with no central lead."

 

Enormous Freeman/Silver Maples- "with multiple leaning leads with no central tie in."
