Can't think of anything positive.

Thanks for that information scott, i'll monitor the de-foliated branch and tree for anymore cankers and get some more pics. While we're on the subject of cankers on HC, this was a tree I worked on last year, was riddled with large cankerous growths, is this the girdling Matty was talking about? any thoughts?
-
thats just a small dead stub in the foreground, probably old pruning wound gone bad, the main branch is behind it.
-
Never seen it in flower, just looks like common HC. I'll get more pics of it.
-
I couldn't see any signs of girdling, the branch looks to be in good condition structurally, it just looks like its stone dead.......you can see there is no girdling on the branch in this pic, ignore the small dead stubby thing in the foreground.
-
Not that you'd would notice, it just looks like the kind of bark you'd expect to see on an older HC.....large platelets etc. Have you seen the single branch de-foliating symptom before? That large branch overhangs a main road, I was going to remove it for safety reasons but was unsure of wether there was a chance it might come back next year?
-
Looking for opinions on this.....I've thankfully never had to deal with Bleeding Canker on HC, so was concerned to see this on a huge HC in a clents garden. Is this what you guys are seeing? More worryingly, there was a large branch that came into leaf in spring then lost all it's leaves within a month. The top of the crown has miniturised leaves and yellowing. Are these classic symptoms? Is there a chance that the branch could re-foliate next year? Apart from these issues the tree looks to be in very good condition.

Excellent work pete, first time I did a crane removal was nerve racking, but well worth it when you see how quickly and easily a big tree can be brought down. Good idea to switch to the slings. What cuts were you usng for the vertical sections?
-
Does anyone know where I can get a winch fitted to a Nissan D22 Pick-up in Scotland or the north of England? Thank you.
-
it was all filmed with one of these, for the stuff up the tree, I just did the back cut, switched the saw off then pushed with one hand and filmed with the other.
-
Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. SBTC - nearly all of it was filmed on a small compact digital camera bob - Re felling high - normally just find the most comfortable position for felling then deal with the stump after the stem has been cut up.

Some footage of jobs from the last year edited into a compilation - hope you enjoy..... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxH_nrDQX4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxH_nrDQX4[/ame]

What? this pic?
-
thats if they make it to christmas
-
That may be so steve, but rupe and one of Monkeyd's boys are now on the list.
-
Thats cool mate, its just that you posted that follow up pic of you one handing the 88 on the crosscut as if your promoting techniques that look half-arsed like they're the new current industry best practice.
-
You accept it's an error, but you dont want to correct the error or you just can't be bothered?
-
Rupe, you seem like a good climber, can't understand why you would post a pic of yourself cutting with only one tie in point. On a big piece like that there's no excuse for not flipping your secondary lanyard round the stem below where your cutting. Or am I wrong? It just doesnt add up - all that quality gear, great rigging techniques but no second tie in point?!?
-
Interesting viewing - guy fells top out of tree from scaffolding - main action is at 45 secs in. [ame= ] [/ame]
-
Are you syaing that people who cut and hold dont live a full and happy life?........ .......your probably right.
-
rupe, how come you only got one tie in point?
-
Thats because the rope they were using wasn't strong enough and they took too big a piece.
-
Wasn't that in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
-
called out to emergency job...nightmare!

I take it that you didn't get payed as much as you would've liked? -
I've always used a half hitch followed by a running bowline, like the set up in this pic -
