Coulda used a bit of a thin in the lower crown....just to be picky!!

Im not a big fan of thinning as it happens...I have used it as a pruning technique on one site predominantly to alleviete light issues for residents of a caravan site. Light levels improve and the feeling of being under "big,scary" /trees is lessened psycologically perhaps..plus there is perhaps less honeydew.....but generally the tree puts on thickening ( quite locally) at those areas of wood that are served by the canopy that remains.....ie, taper is reduced in lateral and scaffold branches and end weighting becomes more of an issue- added to which the "elasticity" of the "mass damping" can only be reduced....just some of the reasons why Im not always convinced its a great idea and certainly not my first choice when considering the options....That said..

Otherwise looks pretty good mate....

We applied for thinning out and was refused so had to stick strictly to 20 percent.

 

The problem was massive internal epicormic growth made climbing very difficult.

 

I know exactly what your saying me an the customer agreed to but im not one to piss off the council lol:laugh1:

LOL Think i agree but if we did not have them we would lose some amazing trees.

They provide a very necessary service ...I guess its maybe just a case of guarding against over pruning WHU...We all see some shocking work about the place- no doubt mine wasnt all that great in the early days either!!

Its gotta be worth fostering good relations with your local LA Tree Officer- they need to know you can be trusted and are good at what you do....unfortunately there maybe quite a number who have never done the job . They will tend to hide behind the legislation ime....very hard work and best kept at arms length!

As an aside..it would seem the government in New Zealand is all but ready to lift all legislation that protects trees in the urban context.They have a system quite different to ours but this does not bode well as I see it!!

Depends on the council!
