ACACIA - From the name of a type of tree, ultimately deriving from Greek ake meaing "thorn or point". Or what about arbor? meaning tree doesn't it??

History of trees (from what i can gather) is that they've only ever been pruned twice before and its normally only the lower stuff that grows near the fence... They are a in a row of ash of about 7 that align a fence in a research and developement plant in the wirral. The fence is 6-7 foot high and about 3-4ft away from the base of the tree. On the other side of the fence is a pavement then a busy main road. This tree has a slight lean toward the roadside with most of the growth being pretty spread even rather than biased to one side. The other tree (the one with the crack and the fallen bracket in the pics) doesn't look in too good a condition and this is leaing towards a creche, the creche would probably be safe if branches failed as its within a reasonable distance but not if the tree were to go as its definately going in that direction. We have an ongoing contract with this place and tend to the site on a regular basis over a 3 yearly rota, i haven't told the boss yet as have not seen him today, but trying to tell him bout things like this, well, thats another story... Will try to get better explaing pics tomorro if we are there again, ps the trees are about 40ft maybe a touch more...

yeh that pic of the pine in felling motion is a top quality pic, looked like a really good job

:001_tt2:next one i do i'm just gonna pull it over wit tractor! root ball an all!

haha short but sweet! i like it

on the whole tree?

is this a case of inonotus hispidus on these ash? If so whats the best course of action as they are both leaning over a busy main road and a creche!

Why have the acorns on this oak done this or am i missing something and they're not acorns at all?? they were all over the tree..!

this little critter was in the van today!

do they do any or have done any work on those massive planes in that circus circley bit?? that would be an ace job!

Some of you may have seen this before but just watched it again and still cannot get over the stupidity of these guys, how they didn't kill themselves is beyond me?! still a good laugh to watch though:001_tt2: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQoWmldL7As]YouTube - The Arborist[/ame]
