Quite like Holm oak from a distance. K

First time and probably last time working on a Japanese Privet (one this size anyway) for the National trust at Montacute, Yeovil. The tree had a good size Ganoderma bracket so a Light thin with no cuts over 40mm in dia was purposed from the tree officer aswell as installing 2 cobra braces to 2 separate lower limbs due of poor fork unions.

Pretty impressive tree, at first I thought it was a Holm Oak due to the bark and having similar leaves but on comparing the leaves you can tell the Japanese Privet has small more glossy leaves. The branch formation also resembles normal Privet.

Nice looking tree Andy you do much work there

A bit of winch assisted felling.

Lovely, lucrative grinding day.

Pops all around a footy pitch, 4 years felled so easy grinding, flatten it out and flail repeatedly to leave a decent finish.

 

5 days a week of this would be nice!

All week on conifers 90m long and 9 m wide bit tight for space round back and loader was kept busy, chipping up next week.

 

nice having the lift platform. we did one once and it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be with the platform, trying to boom in without damaging the remains of the leyland and scrabbling about on my knees in the basket to try to level off cuts etc.

As it was so wide we zip lined tops off via bigger stems picker was used to rig and cut as lower down as could get then when i had done each tree or two would get in tree and cut to finished height.

Forgot to post up  that windblown across a footpath from the other day that had the hornets nest in the middle.

 

 

The adjacent field stayed dry enough to get the truck alongside so craned it out of there.Twas a lump.
