i have been asked to reduce some small eucs ( 30ft ish). reasons being they are on an exposed site, and there is shrub planting underneath that requires more light. they are also a bit unbalanced due to prevailing winds. question is how hard to go on them?? people often seem to go real hard on eucs because they reshoot, but not sure wether this is great in the long run. would normaly just get on with it but its for a family member so want to do the best for them and their trees as they care about them which is nice for a change:001_rolleyes: a few photos but hard to get clear shots. thanks carl

iam looking to buy a lawn spreader for moss killa, i dont want to spend loads as i probably wont use it much. i have found a push one on grim reaper for £55 that looks ok. the thing is they have a towable one for £80 that looks way better built, so i was thinking i could make a handle for the tow one and use it as both tow and push. is this a good idea ??? any thoughts thanks carl

glad its not just me! have spent ages trying to get it together properly:lol:

looks like nice intresting work, do you get a good succsess rate on moving the large standards?? ive found that trees cant take quiet a bit after we moved a load in summer in really hot weather (a few years back!) thought they would all die but most survived with just a bit of die back. photos would be nice to see. carl

thanks for the info woodland. i will try some dythane and see how it works, mainly as they have asked me too and also try some grassland fertilizer too. yes griselinea does seem to do well ,iam not too keen on its look but its very versatile in how one can prune it. thanks carl

Hello, new member looking for some chainsaw advice please.
carlos replied to mr_magicfingers's topic in Chainsaws
i would go on the nptc course before you get somone in to fell the stand of trees as its a good course and you can learn a lot and may even feel confidant to have a go at the felling yourself thus saving a bit of money(ie paying for your course and ppe etc) as for saws just check out some of the old threads plenty of advice there. enjoy sounds like a nice project. carl -
good points i think:thumbup1:
