[Mr_D]

speaking from personal experience, i can not stand willows....but thats just my personal preference lol

Re-pollarded 52 last year and 23 this year. Lots of cord wood and brash. Some pictures of the 52 we did.

Done a fair few like that Paul.

 

Easy with no targets, an absolute nightmare when there are.

 

As CD says, regrowth attachment points can be pretty unreliable, so be careful.

That's a lot of willows

Whats the nature (reason) for a job like that

Just curious

I have 30 odd to re-pollard at home.... every time I drive past them I'm reminded about how desperate they are to be done, starting to lose the odd limb now so it's well over-due.....

Some of them can be horrid things to work on, and by god don't they generate some brash.....

 

Can I smell smoke....? Manitou, fork, bonfire.....

They were re-pollarded because they were last done in the 1970 and they had lost some limbs and most of the bases had rot in then and they wanted to keep them or loose them. The work was carried out for Suffolk County Council in the Dedham vale for The Managing A Masterpiece.

There nice when theres nothing under them horrible to rig out as its quite hard to tell how solid they are.
