    It doesnt help us 2 when there is a collage up the road - churning out so called tree surgeons with tickets but no experience - it should make me laugh - but instead it makes me angry

    i moved a maggy once about that size. It didnt like it but recovered - as said winters best. if you have to relocate in summer then it must be watered regularly through out You should get as big a root ball as you can and REALLY LOOK AFTER THE ROOTS - cover them in something porus eg hessian sacking - keep them moist at all times - I would add plenty of compost or manure to the hole and mulch around the base of the tree when finished

    i had a tree like that in a field - it was that knackered i put a rope on it and a tractor pulled it over without cutting it

    i wouldnt use steel wedges - dont want to catch them with your saw use a plastic wedge to start - then high lift wedge when you have a decent gap - you may want to use 2 plastic wedges either side and high lift in the middle alternatively you could use just plastic wedges - start with one to open up, then use two together for the fell - but i prefer high lift wedge option personally

    here is a beaut from last year - Dorfold Hall - Nantwich - cheshire photo doesn't give it justice - no prizes for identifying the cause of the die back http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q332/cleveroonie/photos/photos%202/photos%203/0022.jpg

    your a professional and you gave a professional answer - your honesty will give you a good reputation in the long run. A classic situation ive encountered is - "ive got a dangerous tree and i want it felled" looking at tree i say "why do you think its dangerous?" "it was swaying in the wind" "swaying at the top or from the base" i said,while checking for rootplate lift etc- "swaying at the top" "I cant se a problem" i said "what would you do if it was your tree" "I wouldnt do anything to it" i said - well thank you for your advice

    good approach - rookie climbers want to impress even if they are out of their depth - Also experienced climbers - if they are not happy with something (too windy, driving rain etc) I dont pressure them - if their not happy the jobs postponed
