scotspine1 replied to Czlowiek Drzewo's topic in Business Management
Here's Martyn's LDV, like its owner...its got issues. . -
Catalpa bungei

Good points Dean, although there's always a bit of movement when you cut and hold into the bucket. Could it be that he was just removing hangers and doing a bit of repair work on the other tree at 2.32 which is why he moved to the left, also collecting the rigging line on his way back? Think the time lapse filming isn't helping seeing exactly what happened. If he used the bucket for lowering or as a re-direct or even swinging the boom into the rope to help it round toward the chipper thats bad news. Definatley wouldn't want to be using the Bucket after him. One reason why it must be nice to own your own machine rather than hiring, never know what they've been used for.

There was a septic tank nearby.

You see the guy removing the rigging block he used for the piece from the stem at 2.36.
-
Why'd you say that? the guy done a great job, used a block and the rigged pieces would've swung far enough away from the boom. Interesting he used a pole saw for some of the cutting when rigging. Be good to see that removal from another angle. Treewisemen, someone emailed me the youtube link to that vid, dont know anything about the company. .

Nope, its some kind of Tilia. Andy - Quercus robur

Quality removal carried out from a bucket truck - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ5oyiTtOl4]YouTube - time lapse oak removal[/ame]

Very good, one more to go, it aint Fagus sylvatica
-
Either would do but prefer botanical names. Scots pine is right for the conifer.

Warning! very difficult! The last few have been far too easy, this one is for advanced tree ID specialists and knowledgable experienced treeworkers. 3 trees to ID here. 1 Conifer on left, 2 tree with climber, and 3 tallest twin stemmed tree that middle tree is hung up on. Clues - These trees were in Scotland. 1 Conifer on the left of pic - Native to Northern Europe as far east as Siberia. 2 Tree with climber - Native to the Balkans, Greece, Macedonia etc, these days commonly found all over Europe. 3 Tallest twin stemmed tree that middle tree is hung up on - Native to East North America, Northern Europe and Asia.

I did. See quite a few of both up here, although they look nothing alike.
-
Correct, nice one Andy. Reckon Rod Hull's pic is Western Red Cedar - Tsuga heterophylla

Anyone here doing the ISA Cert Arb on the 25th April at Capel Manor this year? Be interested to know what people thought of the exam as planning to sit the test in Oct this year. Got the US version of this award in 2002, been trying to get round to sitting the UK version for a while now. Was wondering how they compared.... The US version was difficult, some of the multi-choice answers offered were very similar and the pass mark was 70%. The IDs included pics of the trees from a distance as well as close up, the exam leaned towards pest and diseases and PHC. Was surprised at how broad a knowledge of arb was needed to pass this exam. Any feedback would be appreciated Cheers TC

Any pics of the rod bracing/cabling on that Cedar you guys did?
-
The tree is in Scotland but they're native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere including America, Canada and Russia. Maybe too much of a clue there, anyway this specimen has being able to spread it branches and has not taken on the usual form. Its not Swamp Cypress either, no close ups as it'd be too easy.
-
Not Cedrus or Japanese Larch
-
Baldy, From the pics it looks as if reducing the Spruce to the height of the conifers behind wont be a problem if the conifers form a hedge, any other pics which show the Spruce and conifers from further away? If you remove the Spruce it might expose a large area of dead foliage on the conifers behind which would look worse than a topped tree. Be aware though, topping trees is the first sign of an amateur arborist = a person who violently prunes back trees/shrubs leaving branches/limbs stubby and arthritic in appearance. Topping is common practice in the UK and widely accepted amongst the general public.
-
A pic showing the whole tree would be good and some pics of the dying branches - close ups if possible. Has any groundwork been done recently near the tree?
-
Yep, nice one John. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_gunni What about this tree being pruned - location - west coast of Scotland
-
Genus is correct, but without the specific epithet your answer is worthless
-
Anyone ID the tree being dismantled in this pic? location - west coast of Scotland. Botanical name only.
-
Abies alba - European Silver Fir
-
Nobody said it was 50. How come you dont have frogwalking against the clock? Looks a lot more sensible than footlocking. [ame= ] [/ame]

Frank, you need to get someone to show you how to do it before entering a comp, this guy here makes it look very easy, anyone whose done it for real knows its anything but. If your even a few pounds overweight forget it. [ame= ] [/ame]
