  1. the richer they are the more they hold on to their money we have just started leaflet drops as i have been called in to start a new company with some landscaper friends of mine and have had many responses rich or middle class for small and large jobs i respect if they say no leaflets on the door i will not be posting .

  2. what is the strop for your silky i would like to see a pic if not to much trouble in response to what you said to rich about the 30% i normally just tell the client that i do a reduction of the whole crown to which is right for the tree never had any problems 30% stuff does not add up in my view.

  3. hi paul i already use target pruning every day since i started what i mean really is shaping on reductions the whole canopy i target prune even the smallest branches with silky or secateurs but their should be more covering the bigger picture not just how to prune for fruit . I will have a look at the euro guide as i havent seen that before thankyou for your reply though

  4. Today i got a reply back from a leaflet drop not the kind i was expecting the chap that i had posted the leaflet to thought that i had some how busted a limb on a medium sized willow in his rear garden then posted the leaflet to get the work. After sorting it out talking to the guy on the phone i went to see the tree which had split due to a hazard beam any way we priced the job up in the end and went on our way i know you have to be careful of rouge traders but that was just weird.

  5. Hi im looking for tree pruning books that are good looking for stuff that is up to date about reductions and thining etc . I have been working with trees for a long time and pruning is my thing so i dont need basic stuff about growing points just new methods and such. Also equipment for reductions i like the tripod ladders so if any one can let me know how they are that would be good

  6. hello love the pics how long did the oak take to do all silky or chainsaw as well when i get secateurs out my boss gets the hump but i love it reductions are an art form. for rich

  7. Has any one got any nice reduction pics to show off I am into my pruning and would like to see your work and talk about reduction methods .I feel it takes a lot to keep up to scratch and would love to hear more on the subject also talk about pruning tools etc:001_smile:
