Wow, nice view! Mine not so much today but the job went well. Even a cheering section:rolleyes:
Some of the pics the wife took.

BOTS very good pics, "vista pruning" what's that? Does it mean trimming to get a better view?
riskybiz; big tree! I like to keep my Saturdays a bit easier than that.

LB, yes, for better view.....I get a lot of this in my area, probably my favorite type of tree work

I usally win the bid because I dont use SPIKES to prune the big Pondos, lots of old school guys do, I tell home owner I will climb without putting holes in trunk they say when can you start!

Not had much of a chance to look in recently. Some great pics btw.

A couple of pics of recent work in uk and Norway.

 

[biggun]

Sorry they seem sideways. Not sure how to upright them as I am on an iPhone.

 

[biggun]

A couple more shots.

 

[BOTS]

Biggun nice pics, thanks for posting!

 

[cory]

that last shot is amazing. what did you do when your deflection angle went to nothing?

 

[biggun]

Cheers. On the last pic I chunked it down in about 5 foot sections and the we tied them at the bottom of the rocks and banking and dragged the up and out with a hilux and pulley high in a pine tree.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice!!!

 

[Szajer]

That's when the Honda winch would come in perfect.

 

[brendonv]

Apples, for the next week or two.

 

[cory]

Nice picture. What kind of property is that?

 

[brendonv]

This is in Bridgewater ct. Woman owns three farms next to each other. They own arnold bread supposedly.

 

[Szajer]

Every time we worked on fruiting trees, a war would ensue with the rotted biodegradable missiles. I've had to pick applesauce from my ears more than a few times....

 

[cory]

Nice gig! Are you pruning for "looks" and shape, I presume, or for fruit?

 

[brendonv]

Mix of everything lol.

Thinning out, structure, trying to get tops back over the badly scalded branches, leaving spurs. Basically thinned real good and branches reduced.

Its my old bosses gig. Supposedly its his last year, so ill take over if they go for it next time around. Ive heard that a lot from him though, but im glad to be there in this moment at least. Rekindled my love for pruning messed up ornamentals. Ive been doing mine at my house even, after work.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

nice, b. old boss wishing to retire?

 

[Tucker943]

B, is your own work rolling in up there or are things quiet?
