My Poplar reduction.

This is my first reduction, of any size worth talking about. It is a 60' poplar that the customer wanted to keep, but was worried about falling onto his house. It was decided to take 1/3rd from the top, and I found my first Poplar a pig to work on without spikes. Be kind, but any feed back would be nice.

Hi Normandy. I agree mate. I did a whole row of French Poplars in the summer, Lombardy, silver and....What's the other kind? Anyways, the branches aren't up to much and, like you say, without spikes...whoa!

I found that webbing loops made for good footholds, especially when cutting. My boots kept getting pinched otherwise! Grey poplar, BB?
