Hello Marc,
hadn`t come across the spear technique for stags before, usually we cut Oak bollards and "plant" them at different heights in groupings.
The Bugs love this, but so does Armilaria !

I was watching contractors from a large well known company, dismantle five mature Chestnuts along a street recently.
Intruigued, I spent half an hour sitting in my van comparing our techniques to theirs.
It has to be said that Climber and Crew were more than competent
There was however no serious rigging involved.
Within that time, a fence panel, a second storey window and their own chipper were damaged.
I went over and introduced myself to the supervisor, and he quite happily told me that the " collateral damage would be paid for by his company as we were here to SHOW ME THE MONEY ! "
It now has to be said that i work for a large LA (name withheld) where collateral damage is definately not tolerated, obviously due to the very nature of trees and their ongoing potential for structural failure we have incurred rare but occasional damage to property, which our employers pay for.
The level and frequency of damage is noted and training NPTC 41 etc is given where nessecary.
Should collateral damage really be tollerated?
Fellow brethren, what really are your views?
To Coronet or Not to Coronet, now that is a question
