Well well well. Monday we took down a baby Jacaranda, yesterday we took down a medium Jacaranda, at 2:30pm today we'll be taking down another baby Jacaranda with vigourous roots and at 5pm today I'll be quoting another Jacaranda removal! Talk about a week of Jacaranda's....

Here are some pics of the one we took down yesterday (Wednesday) due to its root system and her sandy soil.


Basic canopy shot


To the right there was a significant branch going out and over the neighbours fence and sitting over the pagola.


I had to limb walk out to the very tip and do little tip cuts and throw it back into my clients yard.


All natural rigging and lowering.


Last cut before I had to switch my High line over


Switching my high line to a running bowline with a 2m tail. Thanks Trev for mentioning this technique and Ekka from demonstrating it in a video, the technique is a beaut!

I finally got the photo's of the cocos palm I took down (Barry & Heather Thode at St marys's cocos palm) off my GF's phone, will post them a little later.
