dead canary pine

[DrewB]

just a few pics from todays removal. twin stemmed canary pine, stone dead and included bark at the union. hit a stem each, one for me and the other for Guy Clarke(nz rookie of the year). good fun and craning out the stems next week. every piece lowered due to being very central in the city and the ground below has heritage status-albert park, in name of prince albert.

Why not snatch it down and avoid the road closure?

Might be because it is dead, twin stemmed pine and they do not want to shock load the stems incase of failure. looks like it could be weak attachment of stems possibly at base. Crane is safer and faster option. I might be wrong though!

Totally agree, I would never snatch on something dead. Its not worth ending up the same way, when you could just pull up with a cherry picker and chog it down in no time. Open road, job done.

why snatch when youve got a crane? road would have to be closed anyway to get rid of the wood.....
