light reductions

[David Humphries]

Nice to see the unfurling of natures leafy cocoon.

What's the average temperature and daylight length where you are at the moment Guy?

 

Fine amount of niche habitat potential there, impressed to see it being maintained.

Not quite a tickle but in the greater scheme this was a light reduction on a Lirio to alleviate the loading on the inclusion.

 

Perhaps a rod or cable bracing may have been an option?

On that split lirio yes one piece of metal would have saved a lot of tree.

Yes it is!

Client was all for it, as it's part of a hedge. kinda neat to have it with Mag grand, keeping it in the family... If freestanding i would have subbed it out as a removal. heck if it was freestanding it would no longer be standing anyway imo.

a gentle lowering of the failed lump of a limb, to protect the trunk from further damage.

 

branch tied off, branches nimbled back, tear severed and then the reduced section lowered down using the landy winch

remaining canopy may get a reduction to counter the loss, but its (just) inside a bird sanctury so will probably end up a fair way down the priority list.
