Yes mate it was about -3 or 4 when we started. Once you get moving the layers start to peel off and it is pretty decent working in a merino thermal and teeshirt.

 

We put it about 3 spans of cobra so there were a few of us up there to crack out the work and get it done. Bloody freezing though when you are waiting for the cobra kit to come your way to do the stem you are on... Brrrr!

Monster rich.

 

Saturday club today. Removed 5 trees and reduced a red oak. A bit full on to get done by 12 so everyone gets an afternoon off.

Thankfully only 2 buckets of grindings.

I wasn't on site today until the last shovel full of clearing up (timed it well I thought).

 

3m reduction of the overhang over the house, deadwood and aesthetically reducing the crown tips to give a even shape.

 

Starting to let the lads do the bigger reductions by themselves now so I can crack on with site clearances and willow pollards.

Re-pollard of a Liriodendron in town.

Super thin re-growth, much of it sitting on pockets of rot.

It was last done 5 years ago.

It is booked in for a re-structuration pruning in 2017.

Perhaps we can save more of it's character this way.

I love the smell of the chips, sweet and citrus.

Another big hedge to top today, blowing a gale again which was making my job in the picker hard doing the windward side but making life easy for the two climbing the tops as could just jump cut them and 20ft of top just sailed off clearing the driveway to land in the field. Monster chip up tomorrow and 8 more to top.

Nice looking finish on what looks like a pig of a job.
