Thanks for posting them up eco, its a great learning tool seeing others work. I will try and get pics of more of my work coming up although most of the trees booked in are conifer bashing and removals.

Great work there eco I have to admit that pressure from the client to reduce the tree to a height which they want certainly makes it tricky to avoid stubs. A compromise is usually made but its not always for the good of the tree. Thanks for posting

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, the tree was pruned to within reason how the client asked, he is very happy and the tree appears to be doing well. I don't see any posts by ecotreecare of trees he has reduced? Maybe start a new topic with pics of yours so we all can learn...

Thanks for the feedback so far To answer a few questions there - Raising - yes I did suggest the removal of the lower branches to raise the crown however the client wanted to retain these as it provides some shade on the pond and shade for sitting under. I agree it would look better. Removing less - Yup I totally agree looking back it, that I took out too much inner material, I have done other trees since and avoided this, something which has been picked up on reading various threads on here and seeing all your pics Jeans - Something I avoid now anyway, was before I purchased work trousers however I rarely climb without my cs trousers on now for added protection even when not using a chainsaw. Ladder - yes I know but I was being lazy I have been getting over a back problem and so a little boost helps me (insert feeling old smilie lol) And no Chris I don't own a caravan cos I despise them Thanks guys for your welcome and feedback so far

Hello Arbtalk! I have been reading with interest over the last few months various posts and thought it was about time I joined in! This is my first post, I haven't been doing climbing for very long and this was one of the first tree's I did. The owner wanted it reduced and clean out as its right next to a Koi pond. He didn't want it looking too formal once pruned so I tried to keep it a little 'free form'. There are a few bits on the tree I now look at and think maybe that could have been different but the client was very happy and it was one of the first ones I did. Anyone thought I'd find the courage to post it for constructive criticism as its a great way to learn from others, but go easy BEFORE AFTER NOW IN LEAF
