Parlare la lingua troppo, mi learn't un po 'di italiano in an 7, ma non procedere in un secondo momento i miei anni di highschool per saperne di più.

Hmm, was that a humboldt scarf that you used to bring it over?

Seems ok to me, as the top was dead and out the front of somebodies house, it was posing a big hazard. It'll probably die soon anyway from the look of it in the video.

If the tree does die, it shall make a nice habitat tree.

Righteo everyone, calm!

I saw that video many times over and the top was dead as a door nail, stuffed.

With veteran and old tree management some unusual things happen, some rules get bent.

The top had to be cut down, bloody hazardous.

And if you look at the video you can see there's bugger all chance of drop crotching to a decent lateral.

Just below where he cut is a branch, I dare say he would be making a finished cut to that branch.

We talk about leaving habitat, snags etc. We talk about giving a few extra year of life. Such is old tree management if the client wants it.

I doubt, extremely doubt anything will grow back as it was dying anyway.

Take a look at this, anyone driving past might think we topped this tree.

This thread here also talks about why in some instances.

Hmmm, acceptable, yeah sort of.

It's always debate-able to some degree. And then the old argument starts, well if it's good enough for that tree then what's the difference to doing it to a normal tree.


It's part of management.

Listen, here's a real sensitive case. I had to cut and clear mangrove trees back from a construction barrier. The trees are sparse. There's nowhere to target cut some to ... it's just like a long bent branch coming out of the mud or the lateral you need to cut back to is dead. By the book I'm supposed to do what? On some I left stubs or a foliage less pole coz.

1/ you can always recut them
2/ if they reshot great, never pose a hazard as it was scrubby creek anyway.
3/ still something left

So another arborist walks by and yells "HACK". OK, lets target cut them then mate, oh, a lot of removals now eh? That's environmentally sound too in a mangrove forest.

Yeah, I'm very seriously against topping sound and healthy trees!!!

This and other case are definitly out of case , cause we need to resolve this danger situation, in few time the tree, or at least the left stem would be really hazard for the house.
We just decide to don't really remove all -..by now.., his presence will last for some time...years maybe dying slowly.
For veteran trees you have maybe different way to operate a certain case, for sure topping is harmful, and this one sure too, but the trees has gain himself a dangerous and haRMFUL situation that will force you to do this only to take him alive..
Other times maybe topping branches is acceptable as far as the lower branches cannot support the weight, cause of rotten trunk, and this is quite always after continuos and previous topping year after year, what remain is swiss cheese, with hole evrywhere..
you decide how to "treat" it, leave dangerous part?not for sure, or you can remove interely the tree, or at least if the tree is worth , or the customer want to preserv it anyway, you arre obliged to make "not nice cut" and use not proper professional arborist tecnic.
And I told you guys here in Italy around in the streets , in public areas and in little gardens is so sad to see tree in very poor situation.
Someday you will have to work with some of them.. and is really struggling situation for an arborist.
Sometimes removing sure is better..and replant a new tree, but sometimes you try to "do yr best" using the best practices.
on hard wood maybe the situation can be restabilized, letting grow a new branch to close and give support and new wood to the trunk, but depends on the vitality energy of the tree.
This one had multiple fungi attack and most in the roots system, so it is really weak, but we'll see what will happen to him.


I LOVE TREES WITH THEIR NATURAL SHAPE!


TOPPING KILL TREES!!
