Default WTF? A - One Tree's Pruning?!?!?!

Here is a few pictures from last year of a Peppercorn Tree (Schinus aerie) prune.
As you can see in the first picture below, this client of ours is a real garden fanatic. The limb I'm on was shading where she likes to grow her annuals, so we cut it back to its collar.

Anyone could have cut this with a pole saw, but would of squashed her beautiful garden below.

This job was very successful because under and around ALL of her trees, there were plants everywhere. All pieces were dismantled with hand held sections and not one bit of damage was done to her garden.


Out on the limb.


One handing, note where my other hand is.


Two hands :P


Managed to whack a cocos palm while I was there, aswell as that Cudamunda Wattle tree next to it


And last but not least the access. Stump grinder probably had 0.5cm on each side at the gate.

All pictures were resized using: The Picture Girdler 2
