    is all that stand larch? if not do any other species have it - it could be PR - I think you should repot it just in case as PR loves larch - if it is control measures will need to be put in place ASAP

    I know a guy who worked at kew gardens many yrs ago who used to fell mature trees by cutting the roots by hand and mounding the excess soil infront of the leaning side of the tree thus snapping the rootplate off

    good stuff
  16. Paul Cleaver
    that was his first one - you only make that mistake once

    got to be adaptive growth - a bracket fungus would grow horizontally

    you said very few people pass under it so crown reduce by 2m - consider taking a little more out of that low large branch which is asking to tear out at the trunk

    I also liked the shallow angle on your face cut around 11.50 on vid which allowed the limb to snap off early resulting in landing flat on the ground causing less damage to grassed area - good practice and safe in some situations

    I liked it when you don't undercut every side limb just because its on camera, and you don't need to. I also liked the double fell of two big limbs at 6.50 on vid - obviously one was snagged in the other - perfectly executed and safe in this situation

    pics needed before I say anything
  23. Paul Cleaver
    if the stumps are fairly small - say up to 9" diameter then a criss cross pattern should suffice any bigger then score around the edges as said

    good winter job for 1 climber in his prime:thumbup1:

    its slow and cumbersome but im sure that will improve in time. I can see the boom getting bashed on some jobs.
