Why settle for purple? Because, for a myriad of reasons that is what the client wants, and if there is a rot pocket in a number of years so what? Fell the tree, cut lower or just re pollard. As it stands the tree, for whatever reason, cannot remain at that size where it is.

All that prose looking for the perfect profound sound bite, then this.

I just said it was gobbledygook, 'cos it was,........"can reflect wastefulness" :?:?How?

Ticking time bomb= ridiculous hyperbole. Bi annual follow up topping. Twice a year!? Are you sure? I'm not guaranteeing repeat customers I'm just doing as they ask and giving them light, satellite signal! some peace of mind, in 5 or ten years when they need doing again, I could be retired or...

Sure do it once, then do it again after a few years when it becomes too big. It's called tree work.

There you go it "can" look like crap for a long time, but it can also look fine as long as it's the right sort of tree. "Reminds of the wastefulness" that's gobbledygook. The only people who really get offended are tree people who have been indoctrinated that it's a bad thing, The public are...

All part of the same family, mustelids, along with weasel, martens etc, I used to keep ferrets for hunting so I am a bit of a fan. Not the Devil obviously though! It's a marsupial.

If a client wants a tree cut in half because of light or some other issue, and if it's a tree that will support it like a lime or willow etc I'll do it in a heartbeat, if it's something else that doesn't like it so much I'll explain that to them, if they still want it done, fine, I'll do it no...

Yes, listen to the client, I often get the sense that people do too much talking to them and don't use their ears enough. (I'll be honest, I was expecting more of a bollocking from you!):)

Quite So Burnham, I didn't want to be negative on the guys first post but you know, some trees can take it and come back great. If the situation (and the client) demands it, fine, sharpen your saw.
