Expected lifespan of an urban tree...est @ 30 yrs...fell and replant. Councils are too busy spending money on courses for mewps which no-one wants to have cash to invest on soil treatments and pruning that may provide some enlightening facts and advance our urban management strategies....

Whats the real gain tho buddy?
-
yeah..wrong thread for the ol' mewp.

I believe a mewp can be safer ...it all really depends somehow. The way I see it, the mewp is another tool at our disposal and I may chose to deploy one where necessary....It all come round to the ol' chestnut....gettin a ticket doesnt make you an expert...practice and experience will....Training in the use of mewp's is a complicated maze of categories...... Oh...and I rarely if ever use my top handle with one hand...dont like to see it!

ganoderma can take a longtime to get established...the test was employed effectively.....

Yeah..good. Cos without gettin'too up my own arse here...they can be broadly categorised as soft, whites and brown rots. I know its a lot more complicated in reality..the value of a field guide or good reference is essential really IMO.l

Thats what Im talking about....!

Yeah I gotta say I find the whole thing quite interesting. Very much with its feet in the world of mechanical engineering and load/lever calculations. Not always as immediately obvious as you might think. I would be interested to know if there are any courses that address the principles and methods of the science. A current best practice....

Crown support and propping methods. Reasons for using the techniques.Pointers on the purposes of using bracing, maybe include a brief history of the technique to highlight the reasons to employ it. The dos and donts and methods of calculating angles, strengths required, inspection intervals and such...

Yeah..there is a whole platform of saws for hand cutting from fold aways to huge panel stylie numbers for massive limbs( well for a hand job) Im sure you have all seen the thing Im talking about. I know at least stihl do one. For small, fine work, the Silky Prosentei is a good bet with a section of fine teeth to allow the cutter to work the fiddlier or more flexible wood . The fine teeth set into the tip for access.

Thats the one matey....!

Looks a bit like New England Fly if you ask me!!
