They give out some pretty interesting advice...

 

And I quote...

In removing a tree branch it is important to make sure you have the correct tools for the job, it also helps if the tools are of quite a high standard so the best possible cut can be achieved. It's also important for you to be completely confident with the process as if not done properly it could damage the tree and cause even more problems for you to try and solve later on. There are many reasons you should regularly prune your tree to remove damaged or diseased branches, to shape the tree, to remove branches that are obstructing space needed etc.

 

Here are some of the tools you will require in the process of removing a tree branch of a fairly large size:

 

 

A ladder - Ensuring it is the correct size for you to stand comfortably next to the branch you want to cut with plenty of room to your side for the branch to fall when finally cut through.

A saw - Depending on the thickness of the branch you may need to use a wide toothed manual saw or in instances with bigger tree branches you may need to use a chain saw to remove it.

Chisel and hammer - These will create a groove for you to cut through the branch easier.

Pruning sealer - This need only be used if the weather is very dry, however, it is best to carry out pruning around autumn when there is more moisture so it's easier for the tree to heal over the cut.

Once you have all the necessary equipment the process is fairly simple as explained below:

 

You firstly need to establish where the best position for you to work from is because you will need a fair bit of space surrounding your ladders for you to saw properly and also for the branch to fall without catching your ladder on the way down.

Once you have your position you need to start by climbing up the ladder so you're able to reach the underneath of the branch sawing about half way through the branch.

Then climb so you reach above the branch sawing in the same place as underneath so to cut right the way through the branch.

Once you have removed this excess part of the branch you will be left with a small stump to remove this you need to be very careful with how close to the bark you saw so not to cause more damage than needed to the main tree trunk.

This is where you would use your wide toothed saw or chain saw to cut just above the collar of where the branch comes off the main trunk, this means the tree can then heal over the hole left by the removed branch easier.

Then if you have completed this work in quite dry weather you may need to apply a sealing balm just to help the tree hold moisture better this aiding the speed in which the tree can heal over.

It is always important to make sure you are pruning your tree correctly because if you do it wrong it can be worse for your tree than not doing it at all so if you're at all not sure on how to complete this process hire a professional. It's also important to take many safety measures when completing this work because of the height and tools your using, so it's always a wise idea to have some one with you when you're actually up the tree.

[Kev Stephenson]

They rang me last week saying they had 28 calls in a month wanting 'a tree surgeon from Huddersfield' and the reason they had the calls was they were number 1 on the yahoo/google/MSN hit lists.

 

I asked him to check on the three mentioned search engines and he then apologised for blatently lying as I am listed as number 1 not him.

 

There must be some way of getting the company to remove the crap they have posted, when was the last time you used a hammer and chisel for the gob cut?

[treediver]

I just read some of their guides on fruit trees...Absolute crap and total mis-information.

What retards get to write this nonsence all of it is like the ramblings of a clueless idiot.
