Fracture Pruning Retrenchment on Fulham Oak
raafbeard replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
I couldn't spell constructive criticism but now I can quote you... Why not a traditional reduction ?? is the end just inevitable ?? and you are just attempting to maximise opportunity for colonisation ? whilst also giving a nice gnarly decaying aesthetic... -
I currently work for a "tree care" Company and we do all of the above - although we only plant once a year to replace felled trees. Know another company called "Tree Care" who I believe do a bit of everything too.

Am definately relocating now...Got a few things in the pipeline.... But if anyone is looking for a good groundsman with some climbing ability/experience then I am very keen to hear from you. I am reliable, a quick learner and a hard worker.

Ashamed to admit I too used to spend many a happy hour as a not so young kid "hedge diving"... Seems this fella got his landing all wrong though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIOu0XSuB2I&feature=related

no really he will enjoy it !! and i'll be back next week to to help and fell what remains...

Nothing special really but was a good size fell for me to tackle....nice tall skinny sycamore with fairly chunky main stems...thick with lichen and frosty wet too...glad I had good spikes on! was cool to rev up the 200t... the good man has a hell of a clear up for tomorrow but he says he'll enjoy it... Out of interest anyone got an opinion on the timescale and likelihood of failure on any of these stems....the tree had been thinned and the weight distribution didn't look too bad. The roots were habitually invading the sewer ... Cheers

Nice vid - very enjoyable and for me the vid quality is cool... Cant wait to see some bigger tree action - although the euc takedown was excellent! especially enjoyed your roping off...

******* Would help you out if I lived nearer...

I have the opportunity of relocating to near Canterbury and just wondered if anyone on here was looking for someone or knew someone who was etc etc ... I'm fairly new to climbing but pretty competent with all the other stuff. I also have a pre97 driving license. If anyone had anything or knows someone who does that would be ultra fantastic ... Many thanks for reading..
-
done the deed anyway ...couldn't hold my breath until 2008 plus a few "extras" - looks so nice as it is...I'm feeling damn lucky and also a big hole in my pocket...

when you have food - tea and snacks always seem forthcoming.. When you have no food and no money then there is nothing
