Damaged limb advice

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Thats exactly how I feel with some clients, and if they don't deserve trees then they dont deserve us coming and working on them. By "us" I mean all decent tree workers, not just you and me Tony, other tree surgeons are available.

 

tis the truth,

Ive found a similar fault on a big old beech tree,, theres a tel wire just about touching it and another inline with the way it would fall,,, the branch is about 20 inch and has cracked on the bend were it shoots up about 40 feet,,

 

first question asked about prices ,, i just sent £234 out this week for them to come and drop the line 100yards up drive for 2 hours ,, its single line to the house that needs dropped , ive been told the price depends on number of house holds on the line to be dropped ,,

 

im still waiting for a date for them to come ,, but there only on 3 day weeks due to holidays etc,, im hoping to send the agent some pictures of the cracked limb and theyll drop the lines at the cracked branch while there here ,hopefully no extra money , i dont climb but do know a surgeon ive used before ,,

 

i would put some pictures on here but the loading aint the same as ebay

the crack extended, the lower portion then buckled because its upper tension was lost,leaving the top section with no compresive strength and boom.

Thats answered all the questions then! No it doesn't matter about any TPO and yes you will have to call the phone company.

 

Or at least the tree owner will (or those who's line is broken) don't get involved with it.

the good old "DDD" get out clause "dead diseased or dangerous"

 

like Rupe says,

customer wants to leave it as it is till the phone company can come and see it......
