Found the same on dead wood removal. Not had the misfortune of working on them in the rain though, but can imagine they are proper slip slide trees.

If you can get back on the reaction from your prune that would be great if time ect is poss. Thanks. gibbon has remarked on the reaction growth & poor reaction of wound wood but if you pass by a foto of said reaction would be top.

Thats the feel I have had being up them. Very un scientific I know:blushing: Thanks for the info.

Nice one. if they work well I will get one. Been wearing mountain equip soft shell for the past 2 winters & the £70 I payed has been well worth it. £30:thumbup: I like this...

Not had alot of experience on pruning trees of heaven apart from dead wood removal. How do they react to reduction work? Loads of epicormic reaction. Bad wound reaction growth. I heard the other day that the spp are in the mids of a planting regime in city's so I guess they are fair hardy & tolerant to works carried out. Thanks for light shone upon

could call it 130% reduction if some roots were chased out eh:lol:

Cheers gibbon. It is in a school grounds & kids are about & sit under it all the time I hear from the custodians. I think an exclusion area would be a great idea & long grass is a great not in ya face way of going about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestions David . Yea the limb under the cavity will have to have a good lot removed as most of the end was badly damaged from the stem failure. Only reason to keep the little growth that would be left is purely atheistic. I think it will support the remaining weight. 25% of the rest is the sort of % I have not been to sure on. Do you think that maybe 15% & removal of a couple of higher limbs entirely is to much (again for atheistic reasons) as it is a prominent feature tree.

Bought a tree boat some years ago. Got the one with the compartment for inserting a carry matt. A must imo, keeps the cold off ya back up their. Lived in mine for about 6wks in some woods. It was great:thumbup1: Oh yea, got it from pro climber back then. Sure Caroline still dose them.

I was called on to go & carry out a climbing inspection on a lovely cedar today. She shed a co dom stem yesterday in a school field. On inspection I found that the main stem to contain a pocket of rot going down for aprox 80cm down. Arial rooting was present around the site of the wound left by the stem failure. I found myself thinking that a reduction of the remaining limbs & removal of the top two limbs in order to relive weight leaver on the stem with rot present, also to make the tree more ascetically pleasing. Apologies for lack of articulate wording in account of findings. Hope the pics help with any ideas. What are thoughts on this course of action please?

14 tree blokes up one tree for the last climb of a good friend to us all over the yrs. M.S has taken the climb but not the climber out of a man I am proud to know. Liked this photo that one of the blokes took. Bling bling! how many colors:lol:
-
Very nice:thumbup:

Thanks for all the replys. Bought one & happy with it.

Bought one a while back. Good wrk horse. Shows when its loaded as I have a crew cab. I need to top up the header tank every now & then as she loses water through the breather cap. Ruled out head gasket prob & still??? as to whats going on.. Just about to replace stater motor at a few hundred £ but as far as I know it's the original at 100700 miles.

Great thread:thumbup: A fine thing to remember your first tree climb in an arb frame of mind. Just last year a group of friends through the tree world got together to climb a friends last tree which was his first tree that he worked on. He was pulled up around 100ft by the lady's their on the day then made his way to as near to the top as he could get with the MS that has taken the climb but not the climber out of a truly top man. Not many people appreciate their first or last tree climb so photo's & celebration of these times are a great thing to share with fellow climbers:thumbup1: A waterproof book with thoughts was left up the tree for all to add to who climb her & the book becomes the property of the person that has the job of taking the old girl down. I will try & get some pics up soon of the day.

was waiting for the man with the small hand to pop out of the boot, or the ground some place.. Class act that one:001_rolleyes:

I tend to go with if I can be reached easy by ladder then a ladder & second climbing kit & someone who can use it near by. If not I will put in a second line & ladder near by ect. First form of rescue & most used is self rescue so constantly reminding those that may be new to the way a site should work to keep your line clear so you can bail quick if u need to.

a little bit of this, a little bit that.........
