So Andrey, would that be a proper Pollard? I don't see that tre being very healthy in the future.

That's not a pollard, that's a heavy reduction/topping.

 

[Maximalist]

We stopped painting cuts over here a long time ago. It was found to be unnecessary, like filling cavities with concrete.

All I know is that the customer is always right ...

Were you climbing Randy?

Cool pictures everyone HighScale and Maximilast!

Yeah, were you climbing Randy? Inquiring minds want to know all about it!

I think I got a set of spurs chased down, so now I am looking for a saddle and flip line. What gear are you using Randy?

Yeah, I did some climbing on the second tree. Jon wants to learn climbing as bad or maybe even more than I do, so I played groundie most of the day.

Small Indian hawthorn pruning. "Before & After"
It was inundated with Spanish moss. I reduced the size as much as the tree could take for now. Another two years and I'll be able reduce further....

 

[mastermind7864]

Very nice.....will allowing the sun to penetrate into it like that help keep out the moss?

We'd get shot if we did that here.

As far as I can see it's a lime. The first cut in a "pollard cycle" street tree.
That's why they are such a good fit in that Situation.

 

[Maximalist]

This is absolutely correct!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

People doing that in the U.S. are RARELY pollarding.

Chunky Monkey in the rain. Redwood.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Kind of an eerie picture, Deva.

 

[Porkbrick]

makes me glad im indoors today.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I still need to make that stick roller for chunking down. I saved some fibre glass rods from a tent. I am leaning more toward dowels now though. Damn fibre glass splintered and got me.

 

[PCTREE]

Fiberglass tube crushed and got ya !! Imagine that! That has to be as poor a material choice as when I made an aluminum HH and then went to a big trim for my machinist. Got to the top on my Wraptor and them started trying to descend SRT and couldn't move Biner peened into the cheek plates and stayed in lock position. Had to switch back to a taught line to work.....

How about a short piece of 3/8 steel rod, cheap and not too heavy and you could bend an eye in one end to hang it on a snap.

Sorry if Im a dick but Im a bachelor tonight.....

 

[bstewert]

We'd get shot if we did that here.

Yep.

 

[Bodean]

It was a wet spooky day for sure.
Panned out though...

My rain gear is pretty solid, didn't mind it so much. Tons of sawdust.
I lucked out with a little lean towards the yard... Chunks "mostly" slid right off with a wedge.

 

[pantheraba]

I drink their blood ...

What is this blood you speak of?????

What is happening in this picture?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Is is birch sap being tapped to make birch syrup? I have read that it is common in Russia.

 

[pantheraba]

That I wondered...I know of maple syrup but not birch. I'm not even sure what kind of that tree that is.
