Hi,
When I first looked at this it reminded me of the pruning Gomez Adams used to do on the Adam's Family, Do you's blokes remember that show???. What a pure unadulterated hack job, neatly hacked but hacked,please show me we in AS4373 does it show this method of corrective pruning??.Please correct me if I'm wrong! but an Australian Standard is the bare minumum/level of training and application we can expect from a tradesman in the application of his trade, This represention of work we have here comes no where near the mark, and the perpetraiters need to held responsable!.Now from the tree's health,let's have a quick look at this.we all know QLD is in the grip of probably the worst drought we seen for a long time so,
These poor trees :
# are drought stressed and along comes Joe Hack only looking at the money side of things and cuts of the food factory,BRILLIANT,now not only are they drought stressed,now their going strait into emergency recovery mode to get some more canopy back up there to feed the tree,what does grow back will be pure epicormic regrowth with no structuall attachement to the main trunk at all which will cause,if these trees survive,more danger to the owners up the road and more cost as these limbs break of in storms.From a hacks point of view great more money for him as he continually pulls the wool over the customer eyes,
From an Arborist's outlook this is pure negligent practice and an insult to our profesion.and as far as throwing up a smoke cloud people are not stupid.
WORK TO THE STANDARD OR GET OUT OF THE TREE CARE GAME because what these pictures represents is pure butchery!
