Potential ANCIENT tree removal

[Pete Bannister]

I guess polemics don't get invited to many dinner parties:001_smile:

We only get invited once Albedo! But no one ever forgets that party

The comments I make are in reference to your own ramblings on this forum, if you dont want people forming an opinion then dont post material that is damaging to your reputation.

You instantly PooPoo my suggestions in post 38 as "RUBBISH" when it is a well known fact that Fagus Sylvatica has a very poor ability to tollerate wounding and you had just prescribed in post 33, hacking off a mutilating TWO THIRDS of its crown! And you want people to believe you are capable of realisticly assessing trees?

 

You then post pictures of 4 very beautiful trees that have achieved Veteran age quite naturaly and are standing in forest and try to have us believe that they are the same as something you have just Mutilated!

 

I could not agree more to the comments above, You are certainly full of it and I have also formed another opinion that you do not remember what you have said from one post to the next

 

Get Real

Leaving the bottom 3 meters would indeed be a good strategy. That would conceal the strengths in the tree that would give the lie to the faulty condemnation. Oozing on the trunk is a fatal flaw? Or one mushy hole? Get real indeed, urban loggers.

God this thread has spewed out some rubbish! Ross, just take the goddam tree down and stop hand wringing about it!

Tony you are absolutely full of it! Resigning yourself to going to Europe! what a laugh!

Remember the last time you flounced out of Arbtalk? back with your tail between your legs a week later! citing some manufactured nonsense about picture copyright, as if!

I remember you saying that you were going to start a charity helping tree surgeons to understand the enviroment or somesuch and other grandiose projects which all came to nothing.

Now you are threatening to leave the country "when you bulid up the courage"

Taking you seriously has never been easy, lately it's becoming downright impossible.

 

I could rip this post and correct you but you arent worth the breath

The beeches either side of this property are magnificent trees, both have issues that one may expect of over or late mature fagus, to the left an impressive triple stem suspected bundle planting, whos size is not appreciated in the following images but i can tell you now, its one of the widest canopies and biggest beeches by volume I've ever seen, and ive seen some of the countries best. To the right is another twin stemmed was triple but one either removed or failed some decades prior, maybe the mid 80's, the decay column is very stable but being sandwiched between the union of the other two stems well within reach of the property the need is obvious. Why am i bothering to illustrate THIS case? because both trees have as much if not more structural issues than the one being removed in this thread. These trees are also highly relevant same species and current on the to do list! You see, im doing this stuff all the time, not just here and there, that damaged rep of mine doesnt seem to be putting folk off contacting me for THESE situations.

 

I am entitled to say when I think someone is talking rubbish on such matters, yes i am full of it, and yes I do think im bloody good at it, and if you think felling is a cover all situation for trees that are so integrated into the landscape your in no position to be slinging mud patties about of that there is no arguments.

 

When some monkey tries to tell me there is no option but to fell, he best accept he is going to get some flak cos its RUBBISH!

 

I will update this as we progress with the job, and I will ask the owner of these trees for a response to the work.

 

I am going to be reducing these trees, not uba heavy, but heavy enough to keep dysfunction to adaptable limits wherever there is a lead exiting from BOTH sides of a stem each arm will be reduced by the drop crotch method to that point and the remaining crown reduced for good form.

 

they will also have loose GEFA cabling installed to take the future loading as the crowns wieght re builds to take the buffeting on the bundle planted unions which are never as good as a same tree weld

 

 

 

 

 

 

This decay cavity is approaching T/R criteria limits, it doesnt appear that big, but the entrance is at least 18 inches across, this is a BIG stem and this defect is at the half way point.

That has to be the best thread I've ever read

A man with big bulshy balls and yes all I'm doing is taking a tree down but was interested on the attention it might seek ie different opinions, hence the forum
