Wee community spirited freebie for the village primary school today. Made safe & we will turn it into a raised platform, pirate ship or something with big mooring ropes. Local 'authority', Highland council, left this tree in the play area as an impalement hazard. What is it they are an authority on again? Cuase it's no ecological tree managment or children...

Three Yew trees reduced by 1.5m from top and around 1m from the sides.

 

Didn't get to wet.

Looks good.

 

We took the crown off a decent sized Sycamore, heavy rain all day. Made it really slimey. None of us would have climbed it today it was so foul, with a cast iron street lamp in the garden right below it. Only managed to get it down as my mewp fitted in perfectly. Got to go back and get the stems and trunk down on Wednesday - when it will be raining again

Bleh...Yews as hedging...just dealt with 40mtrs of this for a client. Put in as hedging 15+ years back.  Tickled by a homeowner maybe 8 years ago...Nightmare to clean up & reshape. Like having a fight inside a spiders web not tall enough to climb, not behaving like a tree. Only plus side is I smelled of resin so long I didn't need a bath for at least a week.
