Sorry to jump in on the thread. This was a big Wellingtonia I toke out a few years back. About 120ft I think. Taller than the church steeple anyway.

 

Looking forward to the pine photos

 

Thats a monster of a tree:w00t:

 

Top job

It was several years ago now. I think FB's were present at the base of the tree but there was certainly no evidence of decay. If you look at the 1st shot you can see how sparse the crown is compared to the other Welly, a few of its branches you can see peeking into the shot.

 

I could find out who inspected it and pm you if you are interested.

 

It was a church yard in Ashburton and I haven't been past lately so how the others are doing I don't know.

 

I have removed another Wellingtonia last year which was much smaller. It was stone dead and I suspected HF at the time. Interestingly a Cedar about 20m away on the same site has suddendly died this year and has dark sappy stem exudations which I suspect is HF again.

I'm confused???

 

You said your was "9+ feet at the base and 120 feet tall" which is VERY like gibbon's ???

 

I'm still waiting for the pic's

Should get across the border more. We get to play with big trees all the time.

where you based to gibbon ?? tbh the tree was a bit over whelming when your used to most of your work being no bigger than 80 ft , and the cannopy was vast lol but still good fun

Devon. I must admit Montery Pines are my nemesis. I have taken down some beasts and they can get the better of me. We took out 3 100ft plus at Killerton in a week a few xmas's ago. 1st was just section fell in 3 or 4 bits. 2nd rigged and 3rd with a crane. Was a full on week
