40 Lime trees to reduce

[Jesse]

Jesse, that lime tree Tony posted was a lot bigger than 21 -22 metres.

 

Tony posted some pics of it when he worked the tree and having seen it in the flesh prior to Tony's reduction. It was a very large tree.

 

Thats a fair one, I was using the wall on the first post to scale and the man on the larger tree, I do know that they can become a good size, there's a good specimen at Westonbirt .

[Rich Rule]

I think you were about right on the first one. Not sure the exact size before or after I cut it as I didn't measure it.

 

The tree tony posted was well over a 100 feet IIRC. Bloody wopper it was.

OK, I'l give you 25m on Tony's but not a cm more, thats 82feet They always look bigger than they are, a bit like fish and penis's so I wasn't that far out

There are some picture on here somewhere that tony posted. He was looked tiny at the top. I think he measured it, tony or Ben Ballard will know.

 

Gents?

I like that is a whopper, even if your as tall as me Its difficult scaling from photographs and also ,not all Limes enjoy the freedom to achieve there true potential , to develop to a size or mass unrestricted and where targets permit . Open growing away from roads and foot paths where hard surface coverings and underground services can often restrict the potential of a tree is the best place or other wise best practice seems to be pollarding, Its also ironic that some/most of our oldest trees have survived as veterans because of pollarding or ex stream natural fracture .
