That has to be the best thread I've ever read A man with big bulshy balls and yes all I'm doing is taking a tree down but was interested on the attention it might seek ie different opinions, hence the forum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some discolouration but nothing major Found a hole at the base that my arm comfortably went and had a gd feel around Fridays Xmas ale is gonna go down very well This tree is monstrous, hence the 300 yrs plus Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Day 2 Tough day again This tree is hides a lot of big wood well She is a beast Managed to get 3rd largest bow off today and remove slot of smaller stuff. 2nd largest bow tomorrow. Gonna attempt client again to leave main trunk at 10ft plus for numerous reasons Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tony you should of been a tree Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I totally understand what your saying and I put up a gd fight for the tree but when the client i.e joe bloggs on the street gets spooked it's very difficult to sway them the down the correct path. Given the right location and surroundings this tree could of lived on for another 300 + easy but it's done very well to survive this long given that mankind has been living within for its entire life At the end if the day I strongly feel that safety stands above all and that another Fagus will be replanted to continue this beautiful cycle of the worlds finest wonder that is TREES Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shall I hand myself in at the nearest police station first thing tomorrow tony ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took Tony's advice and didn't bother too core drill but will do once I get it too a felling height just to see if I was listening in my bio mechanics course down under. Daily pics to follow plus stump pics. The wind is due to pick up down here which may cause my sphincter to twitch slightly but at the end of the day it's a terrible shame she is coming down and would more than likely survive a retention but my client has opted for the fell but to cut a long story short he was very reluctant to fell Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be fair to mr bristow That bag has been hammered for nearly 3 yrs now and is still lookin slick and shiny just like its inventor apart from the slick and shiny bit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Day 1 Removed 1 yes 1x large bow and set up lowering and anchor point for tomorrow plus a wee crown clean to help lowering and rope management for tomorrow Wasnt a happy start to the day cutting into this majestic tree but safety in mind I know I'm doing the right thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who's gonna be the first to sell it ?????? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good answer tony and if it was in my garden I would def go with retention but if the client was explained all of the above it would sadly be a case of WTF and given the trees location, total removal is the clients only trail of thought Derail away brother josh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm basically gonna try and do a poor mans picus just to try and get a clearer idea of what's going on around the base with the t/R theory my 400ml drill should be good enough for sound wood mapping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
That's also my trail of thought at the moment rob Removal is booked in for the 19th nov unless I can prove otherwise but again client is keen to get rid of it and re plant Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It has been diagnosed with Kretzschmaria deusta Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I gave it a light dead wood about 6 yrs ago but too my knowledge no one has thinned it in the last 10 yrs It's had some lower bows removed along time ago Rough measurements are 1.7m at DBH and 5.2m total circumference. I'm going to do a increment bore at ground level and investigate exposed root condition I'm suspecting that compaction and excavation on one side over the years has compounded the trees issues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
