Here's one of many trees we worked on a week or so back at the zipline project on big island. The trees are an anomaly here we worked on one casuarina that was close to 200' tall from the base down in a gully I couldn't believe it until we strung our ropes out and figured the height to our tie in was at 180.
This euc was initially going to be a removal it had significant lean close to 45 degrees and you can make out the zipline below the tree and Drew up in the top of the tree after we had finished pruning. Drew Bristow from new zealand came in the night before and this was his first tree to work on. We split the canopy and were able to reduce weight significantly to the point the tree literally stood up in its position. So it's being retained which is nice as it's actually a very beautiful tree in the park.
Here's a shot in one of the platform trees looking down we were doing weight reduction on some of the leads with questionable attachment points down low
I've been trying to get a branch down off a silver maple overhanging a covered porch, for about 2 weeks now, every time I climb, I get half an hour then the wind and rain picks up. Finally today was the perfect day, too bad I only had HO help.
First rigged the branch to 2 other points on the tree to give some stability. Then the usual, rigged the top chunked the rest.
