Perth tree man comes down

Eric Frei

Here's the tree, been through eyebolted and steel cabled, some slack in the cables though .... not good for karate effect.

3 cables, unusual configuration, I think due to condition of central leader the idea was for the outer 3 leaders to hold the middle one not vice versa.

Some issues with holes, decay and crotches as you'll see.

See if you can guess who did it.

Jeez, that's a big ask.

How long ago was it done? Maybe 3 years to 5 years?

To guess logically you'd have to say a company or individual who does consulting or L5 work. Also some-one who isn't a crazy tree hugger as they drilled it (tree huggers go for non invasive techniques).

Also as it is council's tree then a company that contracts to council or a council crew themselves.

But as to which company or individual I don't know, could be 1 of perhaps 10

Steel cable was IMHO the right choice, just needs retensioning and some of those nasty crotches need inspection again and perhaps some reduction for the affected limb.

Apocalypsse

Seen some craptastic bracing in an Acer negundo in Queens Park the other day. Tree was full of deadwood and a couple of broken branches with tables and chairs underneath next to a playground.
