Lombardy Poplars

[TIMON]

Here's a few pics of today's job dismantling a couple of pops.

Our Justo did the big one and I climbed the "rotten pole" one after I had anchored in at about 80ft in the next tree. Was really glad I did cos once I had zipped most of it over the shed I discovered that the base of the stem had just an inch and a half of sound wood around it.. The middle was completely wet and rotten.

Also featuring our lastest climber Gabe.. All of 5 years old!

Was this job on the Mere Green Road by any chance?

No, it was in Selly oak. First ones we've done so a bit of a learning curve. Did some more in Derby today as well. Not the nicest trees to work on but good experience none the less.

Lombardy Pop, not the most stable at the best of times.. Making sure you got a safe and stable anchor point always key. Good job done there👍and the sun appears to be out😜
