[testcricket01]

todays job fracture prune this really knarly acacia any ideas how old rough ball park?

 

its one of them tree you either love or hate its kinda cool tree i think hate the powerlines dropped for couple hours while i shinned up it to do it. forgot how much fuel you go through doing fracture cuts!

Interesting spec.

 

I would call those coronet cuts though, not fractures.

I would have said coronet cuts also, but what a place to have powerlines ey?

[silky fox]

Agreed they are indeed coronet cuts and well done james although i would have favoured a back cut and then with a winch or a good strong tug,sheared the front of the stems giving the illusion of storm dammage or natural fractures.would have looked like a true monolith imo...

My bad i thought they were same thing coro and fracture pruning clearly not. Well i was just the climber not my job the clients wanted the whole tree out till the coro cut option was said and explained they really liked the sound of it

Whats happened to the large berr on the left stem. May be 100 years old look's like it's had some limbs removed before?

all got cut up into little bits unfortunatly just to tight to get it off in 1 otherwise we would have. shame really. yes the back half of the tree has been completly cut off to where we cut it to it would have been massive if it had been untouched with the picture of the bur i was standing in the hollow center of the back section.
