Customer Education on Directional Pruning

[DuaneLovett]

Hello,
I have been tasked with changing our policy at our utility from topping and rounding up to lateral and/or Directional pruning. We are going to be heading in the direction of joining Tree Line USA as well, I have also been charged with educating our customers on why directional pruning is better long term for the tree. If there are any utility arborist out there that have been thru this already I sure would like to hear how it worked for you, what you done and what material you used to help get it done.
Thanks in advance,
Duane Lovett

If you work for the utility, you would be better off I think setting up a meeting with people from some of the larger utilities that have already done this. They will have a better handle on the trials and tribulations.

I agree fully. We have calls in to larger utilities that surround us, to meet with their foresters just to see how they converted and educated their customers. Thanks for the advice.
Duane

I'm new here, but does anyone know if there is a reasonably priced aftermarket cylinder kit for a Husky 545 ?

You'll get a better answer in the chain saw forum
