The tree will die after that but no matter what I say they are still determined to have the job done their way.

If the tree does survive next thing it puts up 4 or 5 new tops and ends up becoming an even bigger wind catcher.
And then you're back in a few years. Maybe not so bad for business :)

Younger people (below 40) are usually much easier to deal with, they usually want the trees gone and then plant a nice beech or hornbeam hedge in their place.
I’m kinda surprised - I always thought of Ireland and the UK as being full of leafy hedges. And I would expect the old folks stick to the tradition.

Tradition here is whatever is cheapest and fastest

Finally, someone who wants trees cut down and not topped.


3 spruce, 1 silver fir and one lawson cypress.

I like using a humboldt when conditions allow. I pike how the butt of the log hits the ground first and then falls flat.

As you can tell i didn't make any side cuts into the sapwood to prevent tearing. Extra hingey.

I hate cypress. Awful messy things.

We had the first proper storm of the winter on Friday.

I got a call about this on Saturday.

Half the tree broke off and landed on the house. The chimney and ridge tiles got roughed up a bit but the house is fine otherwise.

When we arrived today the builders had already cleared the debris off the building the day before.


Heres a view of what was left

I climbed it. It was rock solid.

I got it cut back this much before felling the remainder.

The result.

I haven't invoiced the customer yet. Don't really know what to charge. 3 of us there for 6 hours with a chipper. Hour and a half from home. Dismantling and removal of storm damaged tree, everything either cut into firewood or chipped.

Some more butchery in waterlogged ground


20251007_140448.jpg


"I love my job, really" that's whitethorn, very spiky stuff.

The one fun part of the day

Lots of mushrooms out at the minute, found some cool ones at today's job site.

Don't know about the first one but this second one is a boletus edulus, if it wasn't so far gone it would have been a good one for eating.
