Really pita reduction I did the other day, it had been done before but pretty brutally so there was loads of epi, didn’t get a before picture but there was 4 very well landscaped gardens directly underneath. Plus none of the fence panels slid out like expected so I only turned up with one groundie came out alright though!

You got a nice shape to that. Looks like it's been lifted a fair bit in the past too.

Been on Lime and Sycamore re-pollards all week. Not the most exciting work in the world but it pays the bills. Reckon they'd started to regrow before we'd driven away!

That’s it little is more. Not only does it bugger the tree hacking it by a 1/3 but it creates a shorter management period with accelerated growth

Tell that to the LA's  i have been working with fr last twenty yrs... 😤  K

Cheers, yeah drt for all my climbs. I brought a bulldog bone years ago from Gordon but I’ve only used it once or twice as I couldn’t seem to set it up right it, probably my error but must put a bit of time into learning SRY as I can see the benefits. I just use a ropeguide and lockjack daily. On that last tree I was able to throw line across to the other one and set my lines from the ground which saved a bit of effort wading through the mass of epi on the way up! All of the sudden SRT looks appealing!
