Sounds like a crap common procedure to me:sneaky2: I'm sure this is ment to be taken with a pinch of salt! I hope! The clash of lines don't half make you take a grip on the power of the things & dammage that the unseen & unknowen can inflict:001_rolleyes:

Will have to get back & take a few. Never seem to have the time to do so in the heat of the mo:blushing: Have played with tractor pulls & different cuts a few weeks ago which was fun & informative. I hope the camera which I used to record the cuts was up to the job, as mine ran out of juce that day due to lack of power outputs at the time for re-duvination.. Like the silky rips loads:thumbup1:

Have learnt alot from this thread. Ta all & to fluffy bunny for exact distances, dose this increase alot in the wet? Are the zones based on the distance the elec can ark to a climber? Not sure how or why these are decided? What sort of costs can a co be faced with if a conection resulting in fuse blow out ect goes on? Would be usefull info to deter the £ hungry, safety blind eye co's to a different way of thinking! I have no prob with telling anyone who asks me to do something I don't understand to fu*k off & am sure most people imputing into this post are of the same ilke...

I would be more than happy working that far from the lines espesialy as they are sheathed. I would'nt bother informing anyone. This is imo & i'm sure I am prob wrong doing so for some reasson so listen to some people who do the utility work day in day out..

Great thred:thumbup1: will read through when I have put the kids to bed. If I can bring them down from choc overload:lol:

Nice pics to illistrate your point. Just a shame alot of old pollards that havn't been managed properly are bing lost now. Like I say reduction as a last resort. In the case of old pollards this is VERY nessasery! Shame the management in this way is 40 yr to late. On the plus side we have some fantastic micro enviros on & around such trees due to the lack of human intervention:thumbup1:

Thanks Jamie:thumbup1:

All I was saying is that overall reductions of trees is imo not the way to keep our balance with our enviroment. To prune a tree to relive stress off of areas that mite pose a theat to us or property is the way I would like to work more with trees in our urban enviroment. I can see good reason to reduce trees which will enable the tree to co exist with us. However I don't like the practice of reductions to gain more light & a smaller tree in areas with pleanty of space. This sort of aproch only causes probs in the future. I'm sure we have all stressed to cliants on the importance of regular management after a reduction, but I have been to countless re-reductions 5 or more years to late because the cliant has moved of just forgoten about the trees needs until a branch lands on the neighbors fence! I don't disagree with reductions, but only to be used as a last resort! Their are pleanty of other options alot of the time. As for pollards & coppice work I veiw this diferantly as the tree management is on going & can provide eco systems that may not be found in trees of the same spp. From what I have been told from people who have worked out their, the German mind to pruning is more toward strucural management ect. Full tree reductions are rare, if done this is practiced on street trees & well managed.

Ain't we all:confused1:

Had listened to the great Ted give a talk last week at an agm which touched on this subject to no extra cost to me apart from a beer:thumbup1:

I have sussed that fom you Still a link their I am sure though, for some contraversy:001_rolleyes:

Fair comment. This is just IMO. Speak as I find. Thats what we are all doing hear I hope? It's all about shearing the wealth ain't it? Sorry for spellings or gramatical errors ect:001_tt2:

No de rail ment mate. I sure you have plenty to ocupy you's mind in that respect:thumbup1:

Top words & sight into the future of arb work in the making:thumbup1:

I think it is about the photo synth producing thing in trees? Remove to much & get a load back? Nature has a way of telling us lay people how she works! It mite be sutle but it will always open an eye if that eye wants to see!

Thought that was the trend:thumbup1: Great thread mate:thumbup1: has it tied in with the contrivercieal thread yet?

Save yourself the head fu*k & ref them to a person that gets £ for things we can't understand:001_rolleyes:

Can't argue with that. Just I find the friction more predictable from a wet rope on rope as opposed to JAM cam let off & on that the LJ provides!

I think this is a method under the name of nawki? the jap term for garden tree as opposed to bonzi, the jap word for potted tree:confused1: Sorry if my jap is wrong! I had done some at the late gr8 Mr Harrisons for a most inspired arb IMO 2 days on one ewe tree prune nawaki style prune!

What a tree! & what did you feel next to it? Life is put in the context that should be in the presance of such life forces:thumbup1: Fantastic post of a magnificant tree:thumbup:

What you on about? down climb ascenders:confused1: I'm sure you can make me see sence at the top

spot in advice..

What are the live prox zones please Sorry, remit the qu, have read some other posts. Thanks people:thumbup1:

Observant ain't you:thumbup1:
