Don't blame him on redwood, not the easiest tree to get a good grip with spikes unless you have extra long gaffs on em.

Do you know what killed it? Taken two out recently up this way, 1dead 1 dyeing both went quick from perfect health to not.

Apparently it was Honey fungus according to another contractor that quoted for the job.

Dealt with the trunk today - it was definitely Honey fungus.

Bigger stem than the 1st pics let on. Nice work.

Felling some conifers down hill. The wind took one tree nearly 45 degrees off course and smashed a bit of railing up but i fixed it with some new bit and only cost £30.00

A few from a pine in lymington. The spec was to reduce back to a 2m peg? Anyone know the reason, my only thought was to reduce the wound size ?

The tree would be unlikely to seal a wound of that size, leaving a 2M peg reduces the chances of substantial decay into the retained stem.
