Hmm...
It's starting to sound like i should deck it, space isn't a problem plenty of room for it to fall. I am just worried about it going wrong and hitting the house.
If i win the job i might have to break out the video camera, if it goes well i can post it on Treeworld.com
If it goes bad i can post it on Youtube under an assumed name
No, seriously folks i appreciate your advice

, like i said i don't get to do palm removals that often mainly only pruning.
I have heard it mentioned before about the dead fronds breaking away and hurting climber has anyone had this happen to them? does anyone have video's or photo's of it happening?
What would you do if the h.o. only wanted it pruned?
That is an interesting rope set up Ekka, i have never seen anyone use a pull rope like that before.
Is it common for palms to have exposed roots like this one?
