Indeed you are intittled to your own opinion as the man in question is to and you refering it to a doctors job is just a little silly as i said no one knows what he did as a job.

 

ok... don't want to rub anyone up the wrong way here. i used a doctor merely as an example. I would find it a little insulting if a person who called me up to do a job for them tell me how to do my job, obviously thinking i am incapable of preforming this task. On the other hand, if the gentleman said i was once a tree worker/horticulture back ground, with many years my his belt and was in retyerment.... respect crack on!!!! hope you can see my point?

Maybe the foot pegs are so he can climb the tree and spy on Matron getting changed Benny Hill style

I bet the old boy was an engineer.

I looked at a Silver birch for a retired engineer that had Honey fungus, (the tree not the engineer).

He had researched Honey fungus thoroughly and bought enough armillatox to fill a swimming pool with.

The quote was accepted. When I went to take the tree down he had completely excavated, undermined, and severed every single root because he wanted the lot gone. The tree had an exposed root ball basically.

I aired my concerns about the stability issue the tree now faced. He explained that as he was an engineer the tree was completely safe to climb. Ooooookaaaay.

So if I undermined a bridges foundations it would still be safe to cross because I am a tree surgeon????

Do you think he will do a NTP cut or a flush cut?

 

The customer doesnt know best, the professional does, just dont tell them that.

It might be a little strange, but surely nobody can pass judgement till the full story is known... as nobody KNOWS the full story, surely we can't pass judgement then?
