still trying to find ident and not going so well. seen it few times here now. the tree was also swamped with stringy honeyfungus at base. 28''across with about 3'' left the rest had gone and all root system also gone with it.

I was/am a traditionalist and still use prussic although I used the sport jack for this. tried many other variants VT, clemheist and always went back to prussic. was no highteck stuff when I learned only rope.

this was on my own tree, so had to go.

cleaned this few weeks back, really nice tree to climb and enjoyed every minute.

having bought new house will large maple thought it be good idea to inspect it, turned out a very good idea has it was hollow from 3 meter inclusion down to ground with lots fungus. So few pics to show how i did it.

cheer's tony, will have another look later and rethink my assessment.

sorry no other shots dave,

why would you not fell tony?

The tree´s are in an alley positioned in a church yard where the public are, thought it would be safer due to the depth (about halve way through the trunk)

surveying limes today and 4 appear to have significant damage through to heartwood, I've not seen this ´before so need help, as all are protected but display severe dead wood and die back and NEED to justify reason for felling.

cheer guys.

somebody, somewhere must have an opinion as to which offers the best quality training and is more beneficial to me as an arborist. here in Sweden more people seem to be getting ISA registered where I live but in the south the ETW seems to be more popular, SO JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK YOU GUY'S SEE WHAT YOU THINK..

cheers.

ok im considering the ISA OR European tree worker courses BUT which one is best suited in todays arb life in general? just wondering if the EWT is getting the same recognition as the ISA.

all opinions greatly welcomed.
