Nice work Timon, that is a hard bit of graft getting that done in a day. Was it just the one climber?

Really nice job on that lime.

 

Meaningful reduction and a great shape.

 

Been done before which helps of course.

Dunno if I agree with that Mick , I'd rather have a blank canvas and the problem about reducing a tree to an old line is nearly all the growth points usually have been crowded out by the stuff your taking off and died from lack of light leaving you with nothing to take it to.

[Mick Dempsey]

Species dependent of course Matty.

 

With limes there's usually one or two regrowth "winners" to choose from.

 

Plus, assuming you trust the previous guy's work, it can take the guesswork out of imagining the shape from the ground.

That's right, just the one climber. SRT access then switched to ddrt to work the crown. He did really well to get it done in a day. Very impressive skills and he got straight on the rake when he got down. [emoji106]
