Ignoring the roots is just plain dumb, but your diplomatic soft-spoken and persevering approach is probably best. I have a hard time not picking up a limb and whuppin em upside the head.

well thanks i do not feel quite so bad now,. :laughing5:

cory i do not know if it's real--when i signed up i needed an avatar so MB found that one for me. He knows me well. 8) o and i only took 2 hours to prune because I am fat and stiff after a long wet winter; shoulda been 1.5 hrs.

cory I cut a lot off, and the tree was not growing fast. but I agree, 10 may be stretching it. I'd pruned it ~5 years ago, and it's good that it did not wait much more. Nick, lovely work there sir!

They called me to get them some bids on removal. 4 hours later it's a lasting asset. Pics here http://www.historictreecare.com/armillaria-scavenging-quercus-regenerating/ I would sooner starve than bid to remove trees like this. 'After' pic to follow; i kinda followed the red lines.

were the gumballs a factor, or was risk of breakage the main objective?

Seth and Lilly got it good--fun 'work'. My poor kids were dragging brush at that age. "This Russian national tradition. We specially create problems and then cheerfully with shouting "Ура!"" are surmounting them." I gotta see this--I'll be in Estonia next July, then maybe to Moscow. Who...

For how long? O and what was the objective? Visibility?

Is it safe?

Same here; our Phoradendron is not as aggressive as yours though. Here's a 113'7" tuliptree we reduced to ~100' due to severe erosion, and exposure.

I try to never use a chainsaw when trimming.

WORD!

Szajer, nicely done. So who was your first boss? 86' black oak here, clearing from house. One branch removed, others reduced.

Well I'm not 100% sure that I did right either, but the decision is the owner's, so no big sales pitch from me either way. I gotta wonder--why would you try so hard to persuade them to remove the tree? A cynical observer might think it's short-term greed. But I imagine the great majority of...

O hell yeah they are charged for time looking. I'm not that crazy. In fact I misspoke; it's Semiannual, twice a year, climb and look while treating the 'toe. They're just 5 minutes away, with other work on multiple adjacent properties. That is a horrendous wound, and there's nothing to cable...

Can't blame the 'toe for this one--crappy codom forks and utter neglect by owners. They had a 20" lead crash into their pool and fence last June, but only called after this 86 mph wind rolled in. The big wound in the left lead put them on notice--Biannual assessment essential. I've seen it...

"It can. I have had good success with shaving it off the limb or leader down into the cambium and then sealing it with a pruning sealer. The prunin sealer is like a tar, spray on. This keeps light off the remaining root system in the wood and seemingly starves it. This applies to broad leaf...

Was that THE tamarind, back in Bermuda?

Torsion marks -> 20%; yikes that is cya overkill. Perfect! Late May or early June; that would be great! This lirio is 107' and the ends were dipping a bit too much.

Great work! We have a lot of lirios here, but no standalones to make such greeat shots. ??s: Had it been reduced before? What time of year was the work done? Where in Germany is it? I'm going to Heidelberg this summer. Was your pruning just to mitigate branch failure risk, or were there basal...
