Found this on the underside of a branch the other week...and thought it was reaction growth to a fracture but once split the fibres didn't really look as though they had undergone any excessive stress however the lower half is definately looking darker and the cambium layer does look disrupted?? Any ideas?? the branch was otherwise normal

Had the privilege of working on these to beauties today - these limes have been pollarded annually for a while now! Amazing looking trees: Pictures don't really do them justice!!

congratulations mate!! hope it wasn't too gruelling!

Looks like a good contract! well done

forgot the local council did some here as well but not for subsidence reasons! Was thinking more of the planes and lime pollards but guess they have a reduced water requirement. Did another today a 10m Oak but yet they leave a load of sh***y sycamores and pops. seems to be fairly random sometimes and dare I say it illogical...
-
hmm mixed responses here.. Did another 10m approx. Yew yesterday - I remain deeply sceptical and think I would refuse this work if it was my business. Drainage is definately an issue - so many "paved" areas and altering rain patterns due to global warming. Don't think felling is a long term solution And what about street trees I don't see councils felling them in a hurry because of the risk to the homeowners - their voters??
-
Feeling really bad about felling some nice Trees for subsidence claims. I know its paid work but is it always justified ?? Reckon the insurance Companies will eventually clear London of mature trees. Anybody else got any opinions on this?
-
Cool! Reckon anyone would be convinced if I painted one orange and put black wolf decals on it?? It doesn't have its own ignition source does it ??
-
Looks like a good job - excellent views from the top!

Got to say I'm with Roller here...Chicks in ballistics and braces sporting chainsaws!!

Fracture Pruning Retrenchment on Fulham Oak
raafbeard replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
I'd like to see this tree for real...whereabouts in Nth London is it?? -
Same as most others for me.. New gear reviews and comparisons Arborist profiles/interviews Hints and tips Technical advice and technique illustrations Tree knowledge and research Current issues/HSE updates Should make it more interesting and relevant for those who don't have £££'s to invest in large plant.

Nice pics!! Would love to have a go at a non-council style reduction...hopefully soon. Like the incinerator too but reckon you would have trouble with smoke free zones down here..
