Nice job Tom, are they as similar to big leylandii as they look??

 

Is it as sticky, with lots of spikey dead wood????

Yeah pretty similar, but better to climb IMO. They are HORRIBLY spikey- more brittle small stuff than leylandii, but generally not as mingingly dusty, and at this time of year not as sticky.

I meant to add that it is also really strong timber, so you have no problem getting plenty of anchor points to get out on the ends of the limbs as you can rely on bits that in (for example a sycamore) other trees you would be unable to use.

He did- Chris (the one tending the lowering bollard in one of the pics) is uber employee though, so between him and Big T they coped very very well.

Nice shots Tom , I hope you didn't have to move all that timber by hand !!

Luckily for us all the timber stayed on site. originally it was going to be leave some smaller stuff and take the rest......the site was a nightmare- steep terraced garden. Getting all the big stuff out would have been a total PITA.
