ok sorry dude just thinking of a few of the ones ive seen lately and it brings images to my mind! I would go with the mulching and maybe some root decompacting and feeding from lee unless it has meripilus, in wich case fell it!
-
naturally all trees would be self mulched with there own leaf matter so it makes sense. I bet the poor thing has been raised and maybe thinned to eternity in the name of tree care in the past?
-
I would like to ad somthng but i cant put it in to words unlike your self but quality post!
-
LOL rimmer being brave from red dwawf was a classic and that text has gotta be used when doing some lame arse bull
-

-

some storm damage an red horse chesnut with no roots! [/img]
-
blimey theres some big old tree's nice pics! how did you get the anchore point? Herestodays willow we reduced it heavily after storm damage there was one larger limb that had ripped off the other side , but this was the only photo tom took of the day and it pissed down all morning. [/img]
-
good to hear ! i was getting worried you where in favour of banning them or some thing........ I find my one handed use is down to mainly to wanting to get tip reductions with out snapping the branch with my 13 stone fat arse or an easy option for felling to get the right angle curfs and back cuts from one safe position on a hazardus tree or just becouse its too windy for step cuts and cut and hold is the only option.....i had my first saw cut ever, a month or so ago and that was a first in 12 years of every day use and it was not from one handing -infact if i was it would not of happend
-
dude so far im just glad ive read posts with far worse spelling than mine.....hows about we all hump ms26's around trees so we cant one hand or if we have to like the majority of the time when certain situations and circamstances dont allow 2 handed use,will get injured far worse more
-
no it was the nieghbours builders who did the damage..I told her to sue them or atleast pay for some root treatment to make it grow a bit faster. Its in a conservation area so dont know how well it would stand unlike if it was tpoed, i know of builders getting fined big money around here for damaging yews with tpo's ,gonna take a few years to get it back though!
-
this is how i found it after some builders drove a skip down the side of it and snapped a load of branches off with a bit of have a go pruning...the woman whos tree it was is devistated ! [/img]
-
got a call today regarding a topiary yew that i have pruned for the last 12 years,well this was how i left it a couple of months ago [/img]
-
lol me to.....back on the feckin leylandii again and said i would mash up the phone if there was any new work queries regarding leylandii when i got home and yep there was! to bloody tired after 60meters of hedge to smash up phone though
-
oh dear pete im afraid the two tone white and orange aint the in vouge colour this year....for me any way,husqy made crap saws when they where made by thomas in slovenia or somthing now stihl is making over priced craper saws now that some are made in the usa and nearly all have carbs from china.
-
Planning ahead and using rythem and logic to work makes eficient climbing...going in and cutting random bits off all over the place so they hang up and using stupid roping and life line routes becouse it hasnt been thought through does not! I see people make these mistakes all the time, unless they can apply some reason and logic in to doing what they are doing and why they are doing it. Good working rythem gives the groundies enough time to do what they have too and the climber can work at a eficient safe working speed and does not have to go in guns blazing like a chain saw mad man working dangerously to fast to leave a big mess in his wake for the groundies.
-
great thats all i need healthier faster growing topiary! Yep lee did pretty much all the entire garden and the man swears everything has already pirked up......as for the walnut hopefully it wasnt to late
-
to be honest so do i but tom had to use all the big slings to get the capstan anchored around the bottom as i forgot the loopie:damnmate:
-
do you have to be an isa member?
-
another balance pic,might make it a bit clearer but photo quality is crap [/img]
-
Im a creature of habit and dont like change !...have always balanced limbs this way, its a made up variation of what i was taught years ago...but has never let me down and i find it easy and fast to set up....but the prussik method could be quicker but i just dont like the idea that it could slip like it always seems to do when you climb on them!then putting the cradle unbalanced but i spose with weight on thats imposible how do you find it? basically its a sling with karabiner attached to one end then with the lowering rope run through a biner then to the other end with a half hitch wich can be djusted to get the right size cradle as by pulling rope through the biner on the sling then just clip the lowering ropes end biner to a slip knot....no butterfly im afarid high scale
-
Just one more! the reason for felling well one of them any way....not a lot holding it up. [/img]
-
how any one could look at that every time they go to there window is beyond me.......they might as well taken there rusty bow saw or digged out the black and decker and put it on the ground
