monster beech

[Ian Flatters]

if there are targets of that calibre you MUST have this tree properly assessed, its critical.

 

Agreed, you wouldn't want the client to fall foul of gross neglect of duty of care.

 

A redirect would of been nice to reduce the load dynamics on that limb although it was a static lower rather than a dynamic lower.

this isnt my job i said to gareth whos job it was the work people have done on it in the past has done it no favours they have lions tailed every limb which would make reduceing it hard much harder but i think they owners are very safety consious they had previous tree surgeons in to just climb up there massive cedars to check for signs of stress etc its down to gareth to tell them what he thinks i told him it needs reducing really.

 

This site rings a bell I am sure that I climbed one of the cedars on that site when I work for Walkers can't remember the beech tree thou looks like a fun job

Why did you need to climb looked like there was enough space to winch it away from the trunk just looks like it was play time with gadgets and I'll positioned lowering points!

PS nice tree seen bigger!!
