Advice please

he sure is

 

never reduced a deodar but i have kept 'pruned' a medium sized atlantica and it looks pretty good but then it is more 'interesting' species in terms of colour and form.

 

That looks great Tony

 

i would still give the crown lift/ open scaffold a good go -and whats the view of - a road?! surely a view through an open canopy of sexy branches would look much better. sometimes its just the instant fix that the customer wants that the problem

 

removal would be such a waste - get it TPO'd now!

 

What does TPO stand for ?

(sorry for being on the other side of the North Sea)

two very heavy snowy winters and a recent gail, not so much as a twig fell of this in 7 years:001_tt2:

 

the stem is clear for one third its legth, not wrong with that I will measure its slenderness ration and confirm or deny

 

You always bite mate lol

Thats fine, some of us dont agree, anything can be reduced with skill and imagination!

 

Tpo all the way

That big old cedar is a massive landmark and adds SOOOOO much to this road, its about seven years since I did it and its looking like it could do with a little thin otherwise she is fine

its a 3 man job, with 1 on the ground 50ft away with a good eye and set of walkie talkies, the man in the tree is blind as a bat, and the groundie has his work cutout too:lol:

 

 

its a two man job, no drag chipper close, 3-4 hours:confused1:

Without doubt selective pruning, thin, reduce and shape. Then TPO

 

No way in a million should this be removed, it is a landmark and adds so much to the local enviroment.

 

As does the Watford tree

Bet the flats are called Cedar Lodge/Home or similar:001_smile:

Where in Belgium are you Sideleaner?

Would you even get a "kapvergunning" if the only reason to remove the tree is the view?

Does your "gemeente" have a minimum size for trees that need a license to be felled? (often anything over 1m circumferance or landmark trees etc (which this should be))
