Tall poplar

[benedmonds]

You know your a long way up when it takes a count of 3 for the branch to hit the deck.... Definitely one of the tallest trees I've taken down.

 

Big poplar we took down. Ben Saxton did the first day I finished off!

I know what you mean, on very tall trees you drop a piece of timber, turn to cut the next piece and the thud of the last one startles you.

Its when you run out off lowering rope you know you have a talln! I hate tall pops as they always feel like they sway more than any outher tree.

I love pops! Especially lombardi's, They still give me that buzz when I do the last top cut

Loved doing the Lombardy Poplars recently. Last stem we nearly ran out of rope on our light rigging kit.

It's ok if the groundy makes it slow gradually, iv had a few tops snatch the rope rather quick and I must say the air was blue haha

I will always remember the first one I ever roped down (Lombardy) it was a thin 20ft top - I thought I was going to die it gave me a 1 meter sway never did them that long after that:001_smile:
