At least you dont get slapped in the face from whippy brances though

Lion tailing is where you take off all the small twigs/branches from each main limb and just leave the tips (it looks like a lions tail). Its not good practice as it puts all the weight and sail on the very ends of the branches making them more likely to snap out in high winds.

OUCH!!! That looks sooooooo sore! I dropped mine the other day and made the mistake of trying to catch it, needless to say there was blood involved but nowhere near as bad as yours mate. i say again OUCH!!

Why do you say that?

If they think sitting on their back sides reaping benefits is a hard life they should try working for a living! If i had no self respect like most of these fools i would gladly live the easy life like they do.

I heard it was going to be a harsh winter as well but i will believe it when i see it. To me a week or 2 of heavy snow doesnt really constitute a "harsh winter" as the last couple of winters have been like. Bring on the 2 or 3 MONTHS of heavy snow fall and i would be more likely to agree on the harsh winter idea but until then i will be happy to dust off the snowboard for as much fun as i can get

that second pic needs another home in the "faces in trees" thread

I like the Fiskars pole pruner to get to the tips and Silky Zubat pole saw for the thicker stuff the fiskars cant handle. As for the thinning itself that comes with experience. I always break the tree into sections like quarters or eighths and work on each section at a time, working from top down unless its real hairy and then i work from bottom up or you just end up making a huge nest for yourself. Look at each group of branches and decide which ones will become problems later, like crossing/damaged branches and take them out first then if you still need to take more then look at which ones are being suppressed by others or occupying the same space and take either one out depending which you feel is best to leave. Always make good pruning cuts and try to leave the crown as balanced as possible and you will do good work.

being able to blow all the debris out of the driveway and leave the stones in place. getting all the hedge clippings under the hedge and folding the older ones over them so you cant see them.

I think you should fill in the missing parts, seems a shame for it to be incomplete.
-
wow this is like the clash of the titans or something! wish i could understand half of what you guys are arguing about:blushing:

Very interesting. So the fact that the woodpecker made these holes tells you what exactly? was it searching for a new home or just hunting? From what i can see it says the wood is not sound and is continuing to rot away even though the wounds were closed. Now there is an extra 2 holes made by the woodpecker, so now the tree has to try and compartmentalise again over what seems to be dead wood?. Is the tree in danger of failing do you think?

Charles James Luck (born November 19, 1886 - died ?) is he still alive and they are just getting ready?

i knew a guy that was a pal of Andy Robbins and he said he used to take Hercules to the pub with him! but Big Daddy was the best even though its all just a show. Get them on UFC and lets see how hard they are.

...when every radiator in the house has a pile of sawdust under it where you have been drying your gear after a day in the rain. ...when your pal asks if you want to go to the gym for a workout and you reply with "hahahahahaaaaah"
