Ladies and gentlemen please be uprising for the man the one and only.... The leg-end.... Maaaaaark Bolam!!!! Wooooooooooh!!! WooopWoooop Lol.

 

All in good humour, I think you have a sense of one.x

Well well gentleman

Such a simple job but with so many views but as was said by Jesse that's what this forum is all about

So yes the client has been maintaining the trees for many a moon and im the new contractor

Initially they asked the TO for a pollard but she would only allow a 20% reduction

Given time these trees will either be re pollard or strategically removed and replaced with new trees but as the avenue alongside the river is so picturesque ( minus the dog eggs ) they want to try and keep the trees for as long as pos

Personally it's a nice job and has also given me a chance to work with Mr Rule,the weather has been sweet and we are making good progress so feel free to continue the debate

I'm really surprised you got permission from the TO , as the trees are mature and really about as big as they were going to get, given the regrowth that will occur, the same issues will be there again in only a very shot time only worse . 3 years time they will have a really dense outer canopy, has your client got too much money? or is he just one of those people who automatically believes that all trees will just keep on growing and pruning is the only way of control, I'd say that they were about as large as they were going to get, and that they have now just been stimulated into another growth spurt and unnecessarily wounded. Just my opinion , no offence intended and pruning is after all wounding.

 

They had a lot and I mean a LOT of growing in them, only half grown they are, just matured:001_smile:

Jesse, this is a fully grown Lime!
