I see what you are saying but if it were me i would find out what they intend to do with the rest of the tree, As i said before you might get some more work out of it, You never know some rogue trader might have priced to do work on all trees but haven't got a clue about tree surgery, Or there could be a genuine reason as to why it's not been completed yet, You never know till you ask.

what is the best tree identification book to buy
Glen Poole replied to andy t's topic in Tree health care
Collins tree guide is the one for me, Good handy book -
Thinking about it there's no way anyone would leave the poor tree in that state, Hopefully there's a good reason why the work hasn't been completed but it could be that they where incompetant, It could be worth finding out though, You might even get the rest of the job & more:001_smile:

It's an Ulmus Parvifolia( chinese elm ), Tricky little things to look after, Thought i'd nearly killed it twice but it's looking a bute at the moment, What you get ?

Trees of Great Britain last fri with the two chaps from Kew, They only showed 10-15 mins though, I think that could be what he'd seen. If you've got bbc i player it should be on there.

I've had my motion for 2 months now & i can honestly say it's the best harness i've used so far, Even though it took me a week or two to adjust to my likeing, I would try & sell it to the people i work with or keep it with you & build up an ariel rescue kit. If i were to purchase a harness off ebay i'd want a Loler certificate with it even if it was brand new, Just to be on the safe side.

I've owned the art & science of practical rigging for a few months now & it's a great source of info with some excellent techniques, a very usefull book to have, it also comes as a collection of videos if you can afford them.

Good call Matt, Better to be a safe climber than dead one, I know that if it doesn't feel right it's time to get down.
-
My biggest fear when i started climbing were trusting my anchor point & snatching out tops, Ten years on & the fear's still there
-
That is an absolutly brilliant piece of work, alot nicer than removing the tree completly:)

Really sorry to hear the bad news, I too will keep my eyes & ears open for you down my way & let you know if i hear of anything.

Belt for me, Used to wear braces but they just annoyed my nipples.

Nice job, I love planting trees, It's a shame i don't plant as many as i fell.:wave:
-
Great pics Steve & nice job, Don't you just love pushing yourself out to the ends of them branches, It'll look good when you've finnished.

I wore a jacket once, It lasted till i got to the top of the tree, Found it very hot, Restricted my movements, Found it harder to climb so for me i guess it was safer to climb without it.:wave:

When i'm not playing in trees i'm looking at trees & when i'm not looking at trees i'm teaching my kids to play in trees while i'm looking at them, Too much red wine i think:wave:
