Went to remove a big dead limb on this ash thisafternoon before a big horse trials in a fortnight and luckily spotted it was non to healthy so a few Phonecalls and down it came. The split was actually opening and closing in the breeze.

I'd have trimmed the buttresses

No thoughts on reducing it by half to maintain its habitat value?

Ha Haa think that was the only decent bit of timber in it!

Made the fransgard squeal a bit as had to tip the tree against its lean to avoid a dawn redwood and a mettle fence and luckily that buttress was in rite place to hold it over.

Looked a fun fell.

 

It's a bittersweet feeling, felling a big tree. It's fun, until it lands and you realise you have the mother of all rakathons ahead of you.

All the fun and non of the pain as the estate staff are going to sort it on Monday. :-D

Perhaps even more a reason to consider just reducing it for the habitat value if it didn't need to be climbed?
