40 Lime trees to reduce

[Gary Prentice]

Sounds like your tree officer knows his stuff.

 

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

[jaime bray]

Sorry, my mistake

 

No worries.

The finished reductions look good boys, where are they located out of interest ?

So Jesse, I have a question for you. Opinion are good we all have them, good and bad and this is a discussion forum afterall.

 

So would you have gone ahead with a job such as this one, even though you didn't agree on the spec the TO had proposed/allowed?

 

I would be out of business if I refused to do every spec I came across because I didn't think it was right.

 

BTW. I am the Mr Rule, Ross was referring to in the OP. I may or may not agree to the spec but if I didn't do it then I wouldn't get paid.

 

If I was on the tools and employed I would just get on with the job, as a contractor asked to tender (now) I would not be interested in the job, as a surveyor I would have produced an alternative specification or at least tried to. A point I should make is that I no longer have to try and take on all the jobs I pick and choose a bit now, try to do what I believe is best. I also think about costs and the future requirements of any recommendations I may make.

I do believe the trees were surveyed and were originally requested to be pollarded.

 

The LA TO came back and granted a lighter rj.

 

I am sure Ross will be along soon enough to clarify.

 

Cheers for your responses though.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

 

I meant that his spec to remove all regrowth was sound, and that he would not be swayed by daft ideas of felling and replanting perfectly good poplars to pander to misguided ideas of what's "right"

 

So, in case you were wondering, to me that was perfectly good tree management.

Well played tree officer, well played indeed.,

[Jesse]

I would have done them all in a day, and they would have looked much better, and I would have taken much more off or much less off, and improved the health of the trees and made them smell better and caught all the sawdust and used it to distill limeade blah blah blah.

 

Good work fellas.

Yes, now I know a bit more about it and the issues, Pollards would have possibly been my recommendation, and possibly not all at once , stage it over a few years , possibly doing them alternately depending on spacing's and structural dependency of individual trees . All depends on your TO, and budget. I'd of been up for a bit of Pollarding, even now as an old man, I'm off for a drnik now.

[Rich Rule]

Enjoy your drink. You are a harsh man boasting about alcohol like that to Mark though. Especially during his delayed dryathlon.

 

Haha.
