You'll need CS41 for dismantles......

Stupid question, thats not a nail in the tree is it?
-
I suppose the first 3 walls of Codit have already taken place before the external branch collar compartmentalise?
-
Why flush cut?
-
Often think about this.....If we prune trees in the winter during dormancy, CODIT doesn't occur until Spring, so we may as well prune in the spring.....for many trees Spring is a bad time to prune, so wait until the summer before spores are high. Have you got any links you could share?

Been subscribed to this for a while, but going to start tendering for work through the portal in the new year. Anyone else use it? Any tips? Thanks in advance

Thanks mate, I feel honoured 🙏

I think I ate all the cheese Mick

Worth doing your climbing ticket, even if you're not planning on climbing full time as aerial rescue will put you on a good few job sites. As most have said, if you can get your IPAF, hgv, telehandler ticket etc that'll help. You make friends with quite a few folk on job sites, I do weekend work for a MEWP hire company at the weekend that I met through a job. I'm 41 and still climbing full time, but I'm pretty burst by the weekend, maybe got another 4 years max. As someone who came to tree work later in life I'd say go for it, there's nothing stopping you from doing your stump grinding ticket, buying a used 360 and making some extra cash at the weekend.

Where you sending the right people direct messages?

Its a great saw, both on the ground and in the tree

I thought that was Arbtalk 🥴

Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any decent contracts from LinkedIn in or is it a waste of time?

201, 400 and 500 👍

More than likely, although could be a buckeye of some sort

Jesus christ, this post has turned into another dogs abortion.

Just a thought, but have you tried speaking to a few folk on social media? There's quite a few female owned/led Arb businesses out there that are doing well. Maybe try and get a bit of networking going?
-
As above, you'll need someone to have a proper look at that. There's quite a lot of reactionary growth over the included bark at the union
-
Don't think you'll do any harm. Ideal time is summer months.....repairs whilst still growing etc. But some folk cut during the winter where it repairs in the spring. Yews pretty hardy

I changed career at 38 into full time tree work (worked on and off/seasonal for 12 years or so). Wouldn't look back, you can make good money working for yourself, wish I'd done it 20 years ago.

Downloaded. Whats the monthly fee likely to be?
-
The Royal navy used to carry pine needles in the hulls to brew up with to stop scurvy, rather than limes (limeys) pound for pound, there's more vitamin c in pine needles than citrus fruit

I've done my level 2 via ABC and like you I'm looking at booking my ISA this year. You can also become arb certified by going through the level 2 and submitting something like 8 Lantra tickets to the RFS, maybe worth looking into? I think going through the process of either or both gives you a better all round understanding of the biology of trees, soil etc and more likely to get work from clients as you understand what you're talking about....the same with prospective employers.

Thoughts on this one, please?
