Anyone going for a smoke down the bottom of the bank?

[Dean Lofthouse]

I don't see why future management would be particularly difficult. There are only a few trees there now, all on the university land back from the pavement. Could access with a climber or a MEWP from university grounds, surely. I think the problem is being over-exaggerated a bit to make a point, maybe?

 

Future management is the big problem.

 

Topped trees don't present a problem if they are managed, problem is they rarely are and only get seen to when attention is drawn to them through branch failure

Threads change and develop, I am not trying to defend it it's just that you have spent a lot of it talking about the practice of "Topping" I am merely asking what exactly you mean by it, your take on it if you like.

Seems a valid question

When confronting the righteous it's always useful to remind them of this, Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

Spit it out Carl, can't do with cryptic

I could criticise the work done on those trees but if I did I would be a hypocrite, I have done work like that and worse both as an employee and as a subcontractor and I should imagine most people with any experience has done the same.

No worries! I havent and in total I have 13 years behind me

 

I bet you haven't tried to pass them off as pollards or try to justify in your own mind that it is good for the tree and good practice

 

I have reduced an 80ft Lombardy windbreak to 60ft which was situated on private waste land away from the public and that was done as a subbie with my mewp hire.

 

I have retopped many trees but never topped a virgin tree.

 

Yet I,m doing better than ok, I have loads of fancy kit, my own 1.5 acre yard and still manage to pay my mortgage.
