Good job, beer geek.

Sean... well done on them little maples.

Rich: DANG... good job knowing where the edge of the driveway was, man. DANG... those were some big trees.

 

[cory]

Our boy Rich knocks down them big ol OH hardwoods and pines like a damn machine

 

[treebilly]

Thanks Cory. The pine were used as cushion logs for that oak spar so I could dump it toward the road and bridge the sidewalk

Weeping cherry clogged mess, maybe got some hedge trimmer-ing.

Some Japanese maple that got some whacking off the gutter and out of the mowing path. My suggestion of getting rid of 2' of lawn was happily received.

The annual crape murder/pollard...

 

[pantheraba]

I like it!

 

[lxskllr]

:^D

I just learned(like last week) what crape myrtle was. I was familiar with the name, but not the tree. What brought it up was cuttings in the woods that had interesting bark, and were *in my way*. The wood seems like it's really tough. I thought about taking some for tool handles maybe. Anything useful to do with the wood?

 

[Mellow]

I don't know if its used commercially for anything but it is very tough wood. I imagine it would make excellent tool handles.

Great pics Sean and Mellow

Crape Murder lol

Cedars over the 12kv today.🙄

 

[stig]

What a lovely pollard!

 

[biggun]

Yup looks great.

On the subject of pollards. We were back in Sweden (the embassy at least) pollarding some very old Lime trees.

I think posted pictures 2 years ago from the same job. Strange weather we are having here in Oslo (I mean Sweden) this year. +5c and sun. Beautiful day yesterday and today. 36 trees in all. 3 climbers. 6 each, each day.

 

[lxskllr]

Huh... I wouldn't have thought lime trees would do well in Norway. Do they fruit?

 

[biggun]

Haha, Easy mistake to make.

They are Linden trees, as they are known in Norway, not Lime as in citrus.

Part of the Tilia family. In the UK we call them Lime trees.

Edit: I just read you call them Basswood.

 

[cory]

Geez Jed, the one you're in looks mad close to the power. Uncoated lines it looks like. Yikes. Too tall for the terex?

 

[biggun]

Working last week over in Bergen on the West coast of Norway. Didn’t take many pictures as the weather was atrocious. Wet, wet, wet!

We did have one decent day. Removed a number of trees for a building extension, mostly Pine, Larch and Hemlock. Biggest was a Hemlock.

Had a fun drive over Hardangervidda to get there. It is a National Park on the top of a hill in the middle of Norway. Really weird to enter a tunnel and it is pissing down and then pop out the other side in a landscape that is like Narnia.

 

[Burnham]

Nice.

 

[cory]

Wow, killer bunch a pics!!

 

[Mick!]

Rained off today, but this is what we've been up to the last couple of days. Thuja removals.

Hot loader action for those interested.

 

[cory]

Nice

 

[stig]
