It's one of these situations where the client wants it gon because they are worried about it and typically feer it's going to fall and squash them and insurance company will no longer cover them because of the size it's now gained. a planning officer with no tree background says it's fine as it has leaves on it (no joke, that's how she judges a healthy tree it has to be dead to be a problem) The client almost wants me to find something wrong with it to support its removal. Worst part of the job imo, catch 22 ain't it knowing that if you don't someone else will and get the work which is what we do at the end of the day, cut em down. I'll also get my hat sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Ah well worth a try. Liking ozys video on the bmx track, Seb looks like he's had it by the end! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

No but no sine of fungal activity around ground level and normal even shape to the circumference up too around 4ft. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Lucky man Paul, I think the hush hush should be a good mod from the sneaky peeky I had of it, you'll have to get that harness dirty now or drop it off for me too do an impartial review on your behalf sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Spotted these trees along the edge of a road today, almost totally stripped of greenery by these little critters. Looks spooky seeing these 4 trees draped in webs! Wounder if the trees will take it and come back? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Nothing like a prusick! Each pull below the device also advances it so eliminating the need to hold your weight and tend slack so in theory conforms to best practice of having minimal or no slack in a system. Bare in mind you should tend the slack almost every pull so as not to introduce a fall risk scenario and such a shock load on your gear if pulling from above the zz. I agree with utilising the trees own structure but find a sling below is so much more efficient for primary access. Or reentering the tree after a brake when all you have is the bare trunk. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Forgot to add the goo in the cavity was rancid, nearly made me retch and normally iv got very little sense of smell. Some of the Crown has normal size /color leaves but the very upper crown is smaller and paler. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Dryads saddle was my guess but wasn't totally sure, Fluted may not be the correct term but it has 3 distinctive raised ribs running down the trunk for approximately 7ft, at the base the trunk is an even shape all round then the ribs start at around 4ft running up to around where the main wound is, apparently a limb that failed about 8 years ago. The wound is almost top right of the 1st picture. Relationships with the tree is the client wants it out as scared it's going to kill them, council has tpo it but planning officer admitted she would not want a tree that big near her house and didn't have a clue when I tried to explain about my worries about what was going on inside. If it does come down I'll get you any pictures you may wish too see. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Thanks tony would you say it would be structurally compromised, I know hard to say without a full investigation but owners are a bit panicky as the tree is about 4m from the house and overhangs the bedrooms, reaction growth is not my strong point so any input is appreciated. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

No just think he was worn out from all the excitement and bouncing around the place, bless sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Better than the 4 it took me 2 of which I had Paul snoring to content with! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Little bit of woodland thining today with the iron horse, client wanted all the brash removing so filled the rb and the ifor, prob about 11m of the site so far. This bit of kit makes life on these jobs so easy as you just drag the whole tree out, sned it next to the chipper and then pull the pole out of the way to crosscut and stack. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

No that's what I did on the stedy drive home with a rather full load of chip sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Forgot 2nd picture, sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

That's as good as anything I'd say. This also works if your going to be dropping through a fork and introducing more friction into the system then returning to that point again ie when up and down doing a reduction. Hope that made sense. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

I ended up with this from a log splitter and like said hurt like hell but heald quite quickly and like last bloke said honey burn dressings promote healing and help keep infection away, might be worth asking you practice nurse about it when you go to get dressing changed. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

What do you reckon, is the fluting of the trunk an indication that the decay from the wound has travelled down and could be compromising the structure of this tree. Any ideas about the desicated fluting body? sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Big beech butt jon. Made up the difference for not working friday! sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Yip, only road into a village complete blocked. Good old merripalus. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Sort of today's started yesterday finished today, not bad for 3hrs work to clear the road, glad I took the Rb44 so it could winch the stem down the road and onto a wider verge, bigger than the picture makes it look as needed the 390xp with 28" bar to cut the main trunk. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Needed a 45m rope as anchor point was 41m up and most people's ropes are only 37 which could result in a few bust legs and i would think it wouldn't take a lot to run the ropes through a pulley to improve the bend radius. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.

Somewhere under that lot is a trolly, a good 9 armfuls in that lot, easily shifted by 1man, very sadly I worked out on that job we saved over 2km of brash dragging. As said on the right job indispensable but not ideal for tight gardens. sent while pretending to do something important on my mobile.
