I have done some work with very experienced climbers that could not tell me why when or where to prune a tree and what kinds of reductions would be suitable to certain species ect or even how to do a nice reduction TBH i have seen a lot worse than this tree. and at least it,s a lime:thumbup: -

Good post rupe TBH the guidlines are 5 Yrs from date of purchase/Use and the recommendations are a max of 10 from manufacture to allow the manufacturer stock movements But i personally would be disappointed to be in your shoes though in reality i don,t think they are wrong I would make sure the receipt had the item ID number on it and make sure you kept the copy safe to save future confusion
