Any help and guidance is always much appreciated!!!

Yeh you're right the client needs to know that this type of work needs to be monitored. But then again people open to this sort of work don't mind the prospect of this monitoring I find.

No not a great deal I think this was my 3rd attemp ever!! I'm not too sure how exactly it should look, no-one has ever shown me. As far as it looking like a coronet, well I know it doesn't but I think that from the ground it looks pretty natural...........isn't that the idea???

Here's some I did the other day on a Scots Pine these were my second or third attempt in maybe 5 years, not too many people are willing to let this be done. I find they want their trees perfectly manicured. I did this primarily for the wildlife habitat but also not to cause a huge wound on the main stem. There was a dray and woodpecker holes on it. The rest of the limb had to be removed because it had a great deal of end weight and numerous wounds along the limb. It's in a private garden open to the public.

It was a brute of a tree, and as pointed out earlier growing old disgracfully, rips, tears, deadwood, the works a real pleasure to be up. But gotta say gave me a real workout..........I'm a little out of shape these days!!!!! Quote "Is it "Pinus Radiata"? "The deadwood can make great firewood if it has seasoned on the the Tree.Wood from old specimens burns pretty well too." I think it is indeed a Pinus radiata

This beauty is a Monterey Pine, as you can see it's a whoppa!!! Climbed it the other day to inspect that huge bit of dead that you can see a the top. Bigger that the 044 with a 26inch (I think) bar on I wonder just how tall it would have been with the top still in. On the way up I passed two woodpecker dwellings numerous drays and a bee's nest. The part that looks like a young vigourous tree at the bottom is actually the lowest limb which has hit the ground layered gone up hit the ground again and layered again!! The big limb had to be removed because it had a huge (as everthing on this tree was) hazard beam along it and under it was a very rare Magnolia. Great tree, great views, great job. The kind that makes all the kack stuff worthwhile. I suggested fencing the bottom of the tree off to protect the roots as this is is a garden open to the public and leaving as much of the dead up there as poss.

Poor you. I bet your missus had just had a whale of a time aswell!!!!!!!!
-
Isn't that quite a slow growing tree???? He (the client) wants quick results!!
-
I'm liking these suggestions particullarly the Magnolia-thanks
-
Suggested that aswell, the client would rather a "broadleaf" shaped tree!!!!

Hello All Just looked at a job. Client has a small back garden and the local school has just put a new building up resulting in him being able to see their blackboards and what they are learning, obviously the little darlings can now see in to his garden and house. So I need sugestions on suitable trees......he wants evergreen, now at this stage I normally suggest Holme Oaks but his house is about 25 feet from the rear boundary, very small garden and where the tree needs to go there is a garage about 15-20 feet away, I figure this rules out Holme Oak. We are looking for an evergreen tree that grows up to a height of 30-35 ft max that has quite a spreading growth habit. Any ideas???????? Thanks y'all

Seems like coat talk is order of the day at present so to add to it a little.........what are the views out there on Swandri coats? Made in NZ from 100% wool. I've met a few people who have had the long coat/smock type affair and they've loved it. I know it's too long to climb in but what's it like on the ground?? I'm severley tempted in to an impulse purcahse. Ps. the new Ranger extreme on earborist looks pretty handy!! So.....Swannies ..........good or bad??? Ta

Count me in!!!

Spent the last 11 or so years sweating my nuts off in the rain up a tree wearing waterproof jackets, ending up being about as wet as I would have been without one on until..............2 years ago. I found a black Nike running jacket in good old TKmaxx for 30 quid. It's either gore or sympatex, tuff as old boots, really easy to move in, tight zip up cuffs, vents under the arm pits, double zipped. Really good piece of kit, very good at regulating your temperature. i think they retail over £100 well worth keeping an eye out for. Will try to get more info but at the moment it's in the footwell of the truck mmmmm smelly!!

Where can we find these drafts and when do they come in to force?? Looks like an interesting job

Very bad day. How long did it take to sort that little mess out?
-
Hello M8 long time no see, how the devil are you?
-
Just outside of Faversham. Why's that??
-
Priced up a job the other day, this was included, I don't think I've seen a Tulip tree this old before, it's a real gnarly old thing. Pretty cool with the stakes though!
-
Good stuff people, I was begining to worry that we are all a bit scared of change. Change is good!!! Where would we be if we didn't embrace change???
-
That IS a big tree.....what is it??
