    Think treelife lvel 4 is around the £5K mark or just under

    Whilst I am familiar with the humboldt cut and have used for felling and climbing cuts I have never used the snipe....does it simply stop the stem from falling sideways as it helps to direct a little more than the gob cut so you get a more accurate outcome?

    I have used it and does the job against deer. Rabbits bit straight throught the bottom so consider a roll of rabbit mesh too if they are present on site and numbers are heavy enough to cause a problem. Was fairly easy to install just hung it off 2 lines of tensioned mild steel wire (top and bottom) with zip ties and used coppiced wood as stakes just pointing points on them with a chainsaw. Left one small section as "australian gate" to allow access into the area.

    I think context would play a big part....if someone insisted on topping a high amenity tree Id would walk and keep my dignity. If it was a low value young tree that could take the beasting I might be reluctantly persuaded. Then you get into the scenario where someone wants a large tree felled and you manage to at least talk them into leaving a monolith which I guess is better than nothing but could still be considered as topping.

    Not sure if it spreads via roots but you should check adjacent trees of the same species for its presence.

    I went Saturday, First impressions werent great as I hadnt realised I needed to bring my AA card to get in free and expected there would be a list of AA members who should get in free, maybe my fault for assuming but little annoying having to pay and was told no chance of refund, (is this true Paul?) I checked out the demo re. decay detection gear which was well presented and informative. It was good to see Stroud brewery there and particularly enjoyed a pint of "stump grinder", Thought the competition trees were bit pathetic compared to last years they were a lot smaller and looked like easy branch walks etc. Certainly as a spectator not the most exciting to watch compared to other years. Ended being more of a social for me rather than a shopping trip.

    Should really be clearing weeds to give at least 0.5m radius around each tree. Also, apply 100mm of mulch too around the cleared area, ths will help to retian moisture, supress weeds and add organic matter to soil, top up mulch when level is low Every little bit helps - very importants druing establishement phase. As for phytophthora, it wouldnt be good. Guess you need to get confirmation. I think you can send off sample to Forestry Commission or RHS to confirm. Coppicing alder seems to show some resistance as it says in the article I posted earlier.

    Sounds like a horrible customer! I bet most people who know her probably knows she's a nnightmare so probably won't pay too much attention to her if she start complaining. You can't please everyone - as long as most of your customers are happy you will be fine reputation wise

    Thats sounds pretty awkard, maybe you could try to get the neighbour around to your client and have a little meeting with all 3 of you, the neighbour can explain how important the branches are for her son and maybe then the client will understand that she has nothing to worry about in terms of being sued. At the end of the day its not your fault, you have been asked to do a job and your instructions are to cut the overhanging branches. Either you please your client or you please the neighbour which means you might get a bit of bad press. Offering a small tree to the niegbour would be a very kind, above and beyond gesture but I dont think going to the extents of building den would be appropraite as its not your fault.
