Significant decay on that large pruning wound on the main stem. There is a new office complex just to the right of the photos. The tree is laying down new wood, but the phased reduction is in the hope that we can get some weight out reduce stress. Its a very important tree in the local landscape

This is my current challenge. The spec is a 2 phased reduction. The finished reduction reduction in winter 2011/2012 will be 3m from height and reduction of lateral limbs by 3-4m. Each limb is to be pruned only once. The 1st phase was to reduce half of the tree in segments but retain the overall shape and form/ I havent measured it yet, but despite how it looks in the photos it is at the very least 100ft.My 45m rope only took me 2/3 of the way down, I think we took out 2-2.5 tons of material today. Before and after day 1. Its just the side branches on the far side left to prune this year prune

Fracture Pruning Retrenchment on Fulham Oak
gibbon replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
I used a chain saw. I've been wandering for some time about partial ring barking to stress a branch to stimulate newer shoots within a crown to help with phased reductions. Just an idea which I haven'tbeen brave enough to try. -
This is one I sometimes use to make notes for individual trees. If its just one tree I would use the info to inform the report rather than include it Tree inspection pro-forma.doc

Check out his guns! I reccon he would just carry Brian's tree home on his shoulders and cut it into coasters

My klima air were the 1st boot ever to last me more than 12 months. I got 3 years out of my 1st pair!

I reccon someone messed up pricing that low.We all make mistakes quoting from time to time. I seriously underpriced a reduction on a 100foot plus Oak which I'm now suffering.

Fracture Pruning Retrenchment on Fulham Oak

I have been long thinking the same thing. In fact I ring barked and semi ring barked some Oak limbs and tops earlier this year on a frature/reduction. I'm back to update the survey in November and I am intersted to see how its looking. -
Good Rigging Control System or just you tube it. Takes a bit of getting used to so don't expect to make limbs dance the first time you use it.

Sell that chery picker and get one then. I think it was one of the best purchases we made in the last few years -

Eddie did half the sound track to into the wild, its pretty good, his mum gave me a copy last year when we were over to stay. I'll lend you the cd if you want it.

Thanks. I have now submitted my quote to the client. If I get the job I will get in contact to confirm your price for supplying the trees.

I'll be cutting it down for free. The chaps a council tennant and has wanted it down for a long time but can't afford to pay for it. Regardless though I'm still cutting down a healthy tree just for the sake of an ocean view. I feel OK about this as its just a crappy tree, but I wonder how I would feel if it was a nice tree it that spot. Would I offer to fell a nice tree which enhances the look of the whole road just to get my view? I'm not sure.

There is a Leyland Cypress at the end of my road which didn't bother me until the Velux's for my loft conversion went on Monday. I can see all down the estruary and accross town but not out to sea. Needless to say the trees days are numbered. Where do I fit in to this?

Yes please
