David, ever thought about having a new do?

 

 

Wow..........my dream date .

 

 

Mind you, with my greying barnet that particular coronet would have a well weathered and worn look to it.

Please explain to me why one of these "trim" jobs should gleam our utmost respect for modern methodology in tree care and the other should be condemned as an appalling practice. Both were used to reduce risk in a traffic area.

Yeah, I agree Dave.

 

The work in the first picture deserves far greater kudos, as it's almost ( but not quite ) as professional as the last one.

 

:wink:

Hello

 

Yes I thing it worked out really nicelly, curious to see what its going to do in the next few years! Its got plenty of light so I think its going to put lots of growth and in 3 years time its back to its former glory, hopefully!

 

Or a little spore in the air will find its way on to one of those rips and take advantage now the tree is weak and stressed out.

 

Lets wait a see!

genuine question here, as i think this kind of work is great in the correct environment, how come coro cuts all seem to be cut to create a nice even rounded shape to the tree?

 

is this so new growth doesnt over balance on side of the tree? as in a natural situation its unlikely the cuts would all be even distance, is this just purely a risk reduction issue or aesthetics? as this is what normally gives away the tree has had this treatment would be cool if it had a bit more of a unstructured look to it

If I'm being honest Charlie, I would have to say aesthetic, definately comes into the picture.

(After all, I work in the most pretentious, critical and overly structured part of our little green Isle)

 

But having said this, the risk reduction is being attained by a mimicking of natural retrenchment,

which in my experience does have uniformity at it's core, probably giving a nod in the direction of Matthecks Uniform Stress as a hypothesis.

 

Agreed, a touch of organised chaos would give the ensemble a tad more realism.

I believe that that in it's self, would be an almost unattainable skill, and something that should be left to nature.

 

Thanks for posting C, I do have the need to reflect on this some more.

Surely that has to be in the same bracket as 'topping'

 

I know i will get some flak for this but I think it would be 'more' acceptable in an urban area than in the setting it is in.

 

That doesnt mean I would condone it but I wouldnt turn the job away if asked, I just wouldnt suggest it just like topping. If that makes any sense
