It's difficult to take a picture of the whole tree. It is a quite steep hill it is standing on. In these pictures you see the upper crown that we pruned. The foliage in the bottom of the picture is the top of the lower crown... A picture from the street looking up the hill shows even less, because of the rich undergrowth around the tree.

We were roped into both trees. We decided to enter form the oak for different reasons. There was a lot of vegetation under the beech that was difficult to go through (and I can be quite lazy), the lower crown of the beech was very dense, all the wood that fell could stay just where it fell, we had to reduce the oak too anyway, and there was a nice branch bridge between both trees...

One of the nicest projects I have done This beautiful beech is already retrenching its crown. The whole top and big scaffolds are dead, and under this massive dead crown there is a very lively new crown with a beautiful structure! We tried to spare is as much as possible given the conditions... but the dead wood was too decayed to climb further and throw smaller pieces. This tree needed to be "pruned" for safety. We left as much dead wood as possible for microhabitats, just so the tree or branches would not reach the street and the paths in the park.

I have been searching and reading on this forum a long time, and would like to contribute something myself.. Recently I started filming my work climbs, and I enjoy editing the footage into fun video's... Here is one where this beech needed an overall reduction after a tensile test because of Meripilus giganteus. This video is about half of the tree being worked and I tried to edit the whole work climb into a short and fun to watch video...
