There are HETAS I think and building regulations (gov UK??) Online. It states height above roofline ,etc. That long 45 degree stretch looks a bit unconventional but not sure..

Is it Kkkrhriss trolling?

Environmental impact of woodburning
richyrich replied to Smurnov's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I just googled it- to bring oversupply of electricity from Scotland!! Better than pylons maybe.. -
Environmental impact of woodburning

Small scale woodburning has existed since man struck a flint and sparked a fire. What hasn't existed for millennia is Drax power station burning pellets from North America produced from clearfelling- subsidised by the government. A BBC documentary showed this. It's a con. However I'm glad to see the back of coal burning. I live a few miles from Drax, and since coal burning stopped locally, we now have many more lichens, etc. growing on trees. It really is a nasty fuel- save it for steam trains. -

I also read that a tea drink is made from it- it must be fairly safe??

The last one looks a bit like Ash

I just googled it- not toxic like the European Yew. However, it stated endangered and threatened with extinction due to illegal felling, etc. You should plant some more to compensate for your chopping of it down 🤔🙄

Yes, they might be Beech

Looks like they've been 'pollarded' 25-30 years ago- maybe??
-
And extremely expensive...😪

Try Clark Forestry- I think they still sell it- Rapeseed oil. Smells like chips frying and better for environment.

These are the 2 trees with the wee man in for scale. They've been smashed up a bit by kids, so a crown lift to 6 or 7foot is on the cards..

Thanks Dan, I think that's good advice - i think it's probably the best option, thinking 20 - 30 years ahead!! By then, houses, etc would be in the target zone.

I'm not enquiring as homeowner. These 2 Beech trees are on an amenity area in a housing estate. They have been planted approx 20 years. Not the best photos, but on first one, where a co-dominant stem has developed- each about 4 inch diameter - is it bad practice to remove one?(about 15feet up). I'm thinking probably better to leave? On the second photo think definitely leave as 2 but remove the smaller middle one? Not best place to make a pruning cut but small enough to heal well and avoid future problems with the union..? Thanks

Too add, I've got more wary of using ladders on houses- very hazardous work.
-
I've got better with heights as got older- maybe better kit helps. I don't do massive trees though. If there's plenty of branches below then I don't mind- if nothing but space to the ground I avoid tall trees. But yes, being tied in is totally different to the feeling off tall buildings, cliffs, etc.

Just saw the other photo- willow or poplar. ??
-
Possibly a willow...any twigs left to show?

Primer bulbs are a favourite for rats..
