Hybrid black pop reduction

[Marc]

My first hybrid black reduction, i've dismantled a couple which was easy, this not so but enjoyed the challenge.

The other climber is Quentin aka Qtip.

Good job!

I've seen a couple done like that in near me and the regrowth isn't that quick surprisingly, no quicker than there normal fast growth rate.

The job spec mentioned pruning by upto 25% with a view of continually maintaining the tree at that size on a 5-7 year rotation.

 

I'm sure felling was brought up as really its the wrong tree for that situation, and they've just built a new home under it on the other side. The client obviously loves the tree, although it already shed a big limb hence the reduction!!
