 Advice on palm tree removal
Howdy all,
I dont get to do many palm trees, so i thought someone might be able to give me some advice on this palm i quoted yesterday.
The tree has quite a lot of exposed roots on the backside.
Would this tree be safe to climb?
There is potential for it to be felled as the H.O. is not fussed about the shrubs in the foreground, but it is very close to the house.
If i fell it i would probably have to rent a kanga or such for the day, as i would like to have an anchor point to attach a pulling rope to, also to help with cleanup. (seen your vid's ekka)
there is nowhere to attach a rope in the back yard.
I have felled a few palms before and they always seem to go right where you want them to, but i have never done one this tall or this close to a house.
Another option i thought of if the tree can't be climbed would be to lash my 8metre ladder to trunk, then just deck the top 3 or 4 metres from top of ladder with groundie on pull rope (obviously safety harness on with flip lines around trunk as well).
Any opinions would be greatly appreiciated
cheers |
