A nice day spent today pruning in a local Pre School. Weight Reduction on 3 X Eucalyptus, 1 Angophora and 1 Salix. Adjusted the Cable system in the willow whist up there.

We've been looking after the trees here for about 5 years now.

The Ang. has only had minor W/Red previously, went a bit harder this time as they had a recent branch failure (fairly minor low lateral).

The Eucs are being attacked by Cockys in some of the main forks, along with the w/red pruning we are monitoring the damage/decay.

The Willow has been w/red a few times. We previously installed some cobra bracing on a 4 way ring system. This was done using a rated crane rigging ring and eye spliced 4 seperate spans out to the main stems attached in the normal way.

Ps. Ekka, just to rub it in, i used my Pantin today
