Please rate and criticize my reduction!

Looking for a good phrase to use but it was already taken.

"Good recovery"

This echoes work that frequently comes our way. p

Picking up where others left off is never easy.

Well done there.

Any pic's???

[skyhuck]

nice job but when it grows back it will look the same as your first picture so what is the point most tree surgery is bull **** does nothing to help the treee best left alone if not unsafe or anuisance:thumbup1:

 

Are the oldest tree we have not pollards??????

Looks ok to me! Good job considering.

The OP has done a good job restoring the tree to its natural form. It's unlikely to grow back the same as its previous regrowth appears to have come from historic heavy topping, which does one of two things, puts tree into decline or simulates vigorous regrowth the latter in this case.

Because the OP has retained a natural form and not removed too much leafarea the tree, as long as pruning cuts are correct the tree shouldn't respond as would happen with topping or pollarding.

By the look of it the pruning will have made a lot of difference to both the tree and garden.

Reaction growth from topping is generally from latent buds and therefore has leak attachment points, the reduction will lessen the risk of this failing, this is good for the tree and anyone who happens to be below it at the time.The density of the canopy will be reduced and therefore the garden will get more light.

lets get some pictures of tree in a couple of years time and lets see which of us is right

Yawn

 

What's the point in anything, we're all just ticking time away.

 

Any pic's???

good job.

I've briefly looked through my own albums and can't see anything worthwhile at the moment.

Mostly I take images of felling, dismantling and grinding work or close ups of the guys climbing. Before and after pruning images I'm sadly dry on.

Take a peep at SARL Le Jardinier Anglais on Facebook to see what we get up too.

Most of our work being removals rather than this kind of work, that is why I am so pleased to see the good reduction of a difficult specimen.

See trees are not protected here as they are in the U.K so the abuses are often quite severe.

I also don't like being associated with other peoples previous 'errors' so I normally try to persuade the owner to have the tree removed if I feel it has been too abused in the past and go for a replant. This is very good for business of course.

 

Also, there are many have a go heroes in the gardening line who have little or no formal training or indeed, become arborists simply by buying a ticket at the P&O ferries office...

So you don't "frequently" carry out similar work

I think he meant the bad pruning by the previous person. They get a lot of that in France too.

 

Lovely job by the OP by the way.
