Reduce this beech tree that I have been doing for the past 10 years.

Tricky one today.
 
The previous crew who pollarded this fairly knackered willow obviously didn’t fancy the big decayed lateral over a deep ditch, so they simply left it.
 
No anchor to work off, so Danny Mac rigged it off itself into the drink, then we winched it out butt first with a pre set higher line in an adjacent tree.
 
 

I reckon they left that branch for a swing, not cause they didn't fancy it.

Pop reduction, around 3meters off the sides and 1meter off the top. Genuinely over 100ft, don’t do many trees this big.

 Forgot to take any before pic’s, sorry.

Did ok for weather, was very cold last week, but dry and lovely on Monday when we finished. The hard part was over a rat run side road and the pavement.

Nice shape to that👍
I find once a tree gets over 70-80ft it gets harder to think in 3D to get each side to match up shape wise.

Thank you 😋

I also think in congested areas where there is traffic and pedestrians, when you get so high up, I feel disconnected from my groundie and feel much more nervous about dropping stuff. I roped stuff down on this one, which I very seldom do. My groundie is my eldest son, he did a great job, in difficult circumstances 👍
