    Wow thats some silky cut!

    It is steel cable. The rods I were referring to were eye rods through the trunk for anchoring the wire

    Not 100% sure and without seeing the site it would be hard for anyone to say. Personally I’d just crack on by the sounds of it. Although a good written risk assessment and a banksman would be a good idea
  4. Steve Bullman
    Yes it would. The tree has a tpo on it so would need to give good justification. That would be a heavy reduction. Climbing inspection will help
  5. Steve Bullman
    I would say its been up there a long time. At a guess I would say it was possibly installed at the same time as the reduction was carried out, which at a guess is over 20 years. So my concern is it has way too much tension on it as a result of the regrowth. I have recommended a closer aerial inspection in my report.

    Basically it went something like this, but higher up

    Not quite sure the correct terminology for this type of bracing, but whilst doing a picus test the other day and a visual inspection, I noticed some old cable bracing installed in this decent sized chestnut. The primary concern was the first limb. but the cable bracing (Steel with rods) had been installed in the main stem (on the right) then to the middle stem, and then a second one from the center stem to the first lateral, all in a line. I'm not sure what the implications of this are for the central stem. Opinions please? Attached pics but its kinda hard to see what I mean, and you ant really see the bracing.

    You need to get a photo on your sawmillers directory mate, your listing is looking a bit bland currently
