no ones fault but my own, its the only time i have ever done it. If i had my 026 with me i would of taken out the silky for flushing the silly wee nug. the problem that day was i was fatigued and stressed, i didnt take the time to get into position, if you have done heavy pollarded street limes you will know what they are like. If it wasnt the 020 it would of been something else that day. a lesson learnt.

i thought i was the only person that called them suckers, i worked with a guy who called them epicormicals to all the customers. Is that a real term, we used to piss ourselves

I was out there 9 years ago on holiday, i got offered a job on my first day.27.50 dollars an hour that was based on being selfemployed 3 days a week. I didnt know if that was any good, until my cousin who was the sub editor of the Aukland Herald told me she got 15 dollars an hour.and she had a good lifestyle. The trees are amazing, and huge, check out the big Fig trees(mountain bay i think) Really cool country, The gums are monsters. i saw some that must have been 250 feet plus.

is that 12 inches or 12 feet.

really sorry to hear that mate

they dont help the back or the tennis elbow mate. did you get my pm?

the livestock looks like they have been crown lifting so that could explain the lack of epicormic. I think there might be a couple of willows their though.
-
at first i thought it was beech, but i think you are right about lime when you see it sconed up. I would of thought the other limes would of had epicormic growth though.

i sunk an 020 into the back of my left calf years ago, i was in the middle of a horrible pollard trying to flush a branch that no one would ever see, both feet were jammed in at the toes at angles that arent natural, i had branches in my ears,up my nose, jabbed under my oxsters it was raining and i couldnt see for sweat nipping my eyes. the nose caught and kicked back right into my calf, lucky for allround protection. I stopped using top handles after that, whiny underpowered saws that make you lazy, and swipe about like zoro. imho

my great uncle vic worked for the fish and game out in edminton, canada it was his job to blow up the Beaver dams with Nitro Glicerine. He was the only one in their crew that wasnt allergic to it. this was back in 50s thru to 80s. When he came over to visit when i was about 16 all he ever talked about was Beaver this and Beaver that. We used to sit their pissing ourselves. he is Icelandic. great old boy. still going, he and my aunty just moved into a home on their own accord, last month he is nearly 90 and still game
