    Funky old Beech

    RobArb replied to SJH's topic in Picture Forum

    think they can live 250-350 years, but a pollarded beech, thats probably a different story!

    nothing wrong with whats happened or what you did, and you seemed to have learned/picked up a handy tip on following up quotes.... win win:biggrin:

    Daniel, Have you ever thought that the US, particularly yourself may be "behind the times"?? You seem to be always putting down the UK on our standards when it has been proven time and time again on pruning standards. I also find it insulting that you are generalising the work of a few with the work of us all as a standard..!! I take my time to make sure i get in a proper work position FROM A ROPE AND HARNESS, where i can make a perfect pruning cut leaving the branch bark collar totally intact everytime! Essentially you a performing heading cuts on every cut you do, see attached website which is endorsed by the ISA (predominently American) Trees Are Good - Tree Care Information

    nice one chaps, does that mean the next 20,000 posts will be clocked up in no time?

    nice little hug to keep itself warm:biggrin:

    don't bother, your opinions don't get looked over Daniel, i commend you for taking the time out to make and post videos:thumbup: Seeing how other people work and do things is sometimes a good things as you pick up litttle bits of info and hints and tips that do "sometimes" work But on the other hand, you seem to have some sort of God complex, shooting down anyone else's valid opinions on your techniques, refusing or plain right ignoring valid questions that have been put forward, and calling yourself a radical free-thinker who does things "beyond the norm/book" to push the industry forward.... Its THIS attitude that comes across that then gets peoples backs up and you end up struggling to get people to listen Calm the arrogance down, make more videos and express an opinion on why you do things without sounding condiscending, and maybe more people will listen..

    From personal experience of working with other arbs who also purposefully left stubs, I have seen the trees exude stupid amounts of epi from said stubs because said stubs where left on, it's not hard to leave the branch bark collar intact without leaving a stub

    some good turning wood there, or was it too far gone?
  21. RobArb
    possibly in a size 6 if you read the other thread:lol:
