40 Lime trees to reduce

[Rich Rule]

I would say it takes 1 to change a light bulb as we are all pretty resourceful. The other 7 will stand around discussing how they would have done it, but better...

I'll fill out the risk assessment form.

 

I think good on Jesse for giving his opinion it's a valid one.

 

Need a hand with those Ross?

Starting a pollard cycle, what's wrong with that? (assuming they're limes)

I wouldn't have left the frithy bits but hey-ho.

 

Poplars! They been topped years back and had about twenty feet of new growth. Small failures encouraged the client to do something. My ideal spec would have been to maybe halve the regrowth, but most were bare poles. Or to have re - top some, fell a couple and replant, with an idea of replacing the row over twenty years.

 

No decay in any of the wounds surprisingly. TO suggested a 7-10 year cycle. We were averaging a van load per tree of chip

OK my bad, Poplars then, Honestly I cannot see the problem, why get sniffy about re,pollarding/reducing them? (just curious)

What was taken off the first tree posted? Was it approximately 8-9ft? or less? Can be awkward to work out dimensions when on site, let alone on the Internet.

 

From my iPad the view is not too clear. Is the second tree a work in progress? Is someone still up it? Looks like the right hand arm hasn't been started. Is this correct Ross?

 

I think it's hard to comment on how 'aesthetically' pleasing the second trees shape is as the tree beyond obstructs the view of the shape being created, from my form of electronic viewing device. Lol

 

Big old trees, and I would say that 18 is good going in four days. I'm guessing the other chap was up there with you if I understand correctly?

 

Was always told that unless you know the full conversation that lead to the creation of the job spec,and the communication that was conveyed between that conversation and the tree team, comment should be reserved.

With them not being true pollards to begin with really. They were very public and I always feel that doing work like that makes the general public think its an acceptable form of tree management.

 

That's some nice work on those limes, to get back to the thread.

Nice job guys!

Thats more like it, with a cup of tea and a fag to boot, nothing better than a good old debate
