Sorry to thread hijack, but to keep related information in one thread, what can anyone tell me about climbing lombardy's?? A mate of mine just up the road mentioned he wanted one of his larger specimens, to all intents and purposes topped and lopped. he wants it turning into a pole ready for a company to come in and fit a sizeable wind turbine to the top of it.

 

I shant be doing the work myself but it got me to thinking. How does one climb a lombardy for anything other than removal? Do you even bother? How would you set a rope to a point you can trust? Obviously for removal, you would spike it. All things id like to have in the old memory banks for future reference.

 

Most of you seem to hate them, I assume they are particularly weak?

 

I would'nt top a lombardy at all, the pole will rot very quickly, get a second hand bt pole, they last for ever.
