    Good Job. . Tree looks good, sail affect of canopy has been reduced. Infection of G resinaceum and I hispdus but the tree will live with that ok combined with reduction. All is well!
  2. T & C Tree Services
    You sound like you've got the right idea mate. Dont be afraid to post pictures of the reductions. Everyone is pretty good at giving constructive critisism on here!
  3. T & C Tree Services
    You can keep your 100% reductions . . . Kent boys!!

    Hes still with me. Getting on well. Isnt keen on the climbing but as gooda groundie as i could hope for! Who are you working for?
  5. T & C Tree Services
    Thanks. I was up the first tree for approximately 3hrs. Decent drop zone field side. Wind was scorching through so bakside was dropped into garden and thrown over. Second tree took about the same. Bit smaller but lots of clutter underneath and small drop zone.

    I tend not to use a groundie to guide me. I think in the end 'you just know' if its right. I do tend to climb to the centre and get up above the canopy to have a final look over. Any stragglers can normally be spotted then.

    A couple of recent Oak reductions. .

    Stop thinking too deep. . Just fell the damn thing. It's nothing super special. Remember you can always replant!?

    Or a step ladder?

    I wonder if anyone's ever tried a sequoia hedge. . . News there's a thought?

    I believe that when trees have most or all of their primary branches removed they put majority of their energy into producing what's called embryonic tissue (found mainly in young trees) and using this to rapidly callous the made cuts. The tree is therefore more adapted to a second pollard wether it be 1year or 5years due to the energy stores held within this embryonic tissue. The cuts second time round would likely be smaller and more numerous therefore callousing even more rapidly. Pollards tend to cope well against pathogens also due to the numerous CODIT barriers produced.

    Nice job. Bet it was nice having the room to drop big lumps out!

    The second photo must be the very first example of a step cut! Good to know prehistoric man were doing there cuts right! At a guess. . . 250m yrs. But i dont have a scooby.

    The common name is moosewood. Google it and check when you next see the tree.

    I also think the central lobe has a point to it. Looks as if it's ripped off by the flat edge?
  20. T & C Tree Services
    Looks like Acer pensylvaticum?

    Fruits are reminiscent of Saphora sp. but leaves aren't.

    We did our bit by donating and planting a red maple for the local town council. Will be nice to see it grow and flourish for many years to come!

    I've found from experience actually how resilient Beeches are when it comes to pruning wether it be a heavy weight reduction or crown raise. As long as each pruning cut is made to good points of growth and the finishing cut is good you will never have a problem. The lack of dormant buds makes this important. All trees we work on should be treated this way not just the thinking of "but it's a beech". There's a few trees which I have found don't react as well to pruning as the Beech. Oak being one.

    I did go along as a guest once! I seemed a bit out of place as i wasnt wearing a shirt and tie. Think the office based trades do well from it but didnt feel it was right for me. But did hear that Mike Connick from connick tree services got the contact for all the works at Chessington adventures through a chapter close to me. So i suppose some good things may come of it?

    I havnt seen the report yet. But I do know it has been Tomographed and resistographed on the buttresses. Will post when I hear.
