Hello, Could do with some help for the odd job or two in the Inverness area. Ideally climber with own kit, but still interested to hear from qualified groundstaff. Please PM if of interest. Cheers, Loz

I would be interested to know what you decided with this one, Paul? cheers, loz

Give it a height reduction. You wouldn't necessarily have to take too much to reduce the perceived risk, I am sure it would recover. Anyway, trees contribute a lot more than just aesthetic value! If its one or the other, then I think the concept of felling a tree just because it looks unsightly in the short term is pretty outdated now. Cheers, Loz

Thanks all, sorted now, but will make a note for 6 months time! Cheers, Loz

Hi Paul, Typical, it just arrived today and yes your right - its the same! Thanks for the message though Loz

Great, thanks. I thought as much, just wanted to check there was some new content. Cheers

Hello, Can anyone point me to a LOLER inspector up north, ideally in Inverness area? Cheers!

Interesting. The tree owner is a practical farmer type, so ground investigation won't be happening. I think the approach will be to just wait and see how bad it gets, its now weighted away from road so no reason to remove asap. ref soil replacement; i presume you mean after the tree has been removed?!

Spot on. The dead limb was removed after bark loss and dysfunction ( approx 4 months ago)
