Just remember rope is a consumable and should be replace regularly. I’m not saying that line is burned up, far from it.
I often get the impression a lot of tree peeps keep their lines forever. After 10 trees and say $20grand in gross revenue a $150 line can be replaced often.
I don’t think I have ever seen a whitewashed tree here, ever. I have seen sunscald on trees that have had heavy canopy work or storm damage, mostly young ornamental trees.
Up the rope when I climb but if the tree allows climb the tree. Last tree I climbed was a crabapple to about 8’ tied in a nice comfy perch and could reach the whole canopy with a 12’ Silky.
Canopy raised and thinned five smallish/medium silvers and back Wednesday to butcher four large boxelder trees. Heavy lean towards the house, not in the best of shape, should be removed but they are park trees leaning over the lot line so cut back to the lot line and let them bush out.
