Do you cut the with a saw or knife? Does it suck to trim
them without spurs and where should you position to
cut them? Do you I suppose create a false crotch? |
I have seen some people use a bull line with a pulley to thread the climb line from the ground and then anchor it to the base of the tree with a portawrap.I suppose you could even use foot loops but I use hooks on them.I don't trust fronds to hold my weight.you got the trimming pretty much down but its best like any tree[if you can call them that]to take as little living foliage off.You use a chainsaw or handsaw.[you could use a knife if you want to heman it]
