Your cruel!!

 

Although how great must ANY tree job feel after doing that!!!

 

Rough with the smooth and its the rough that makes the smooth feel so good.

My first thought when I knew we were doing it was what mechanical device could save our poor bodies from the punishment of strimming! But it is honestly too steep for the Robo Climber type of machines. It's hard to get perspective from photos, but it was near vertical in places. If you dropped concentration for a split second, your expensive machine would be cartwheeling in no time!

Napalm!
It was the sort of steepness that if your toes got in front of the line of your nuts you slipped on your arse!

Hats off to you, that looked a hard job

Not particulary proud of this one.  Had a very empty middle which left the tree looking a bit square.  Clearly needed a reduction of some sort though.  A fell and replant was advised
