Stumper,
He probably took the picture while they were at lunch. They weren't finished.

Ok all jokes a side would you guys top that if it had Bronze Birch Borer and that tree was planted by a dead family member and they wanted to keep it till it was dead!
I have thought about this issue lots and all though I have never been asked to do it , I allways wonder if that Butcher is really a arborist with a heart!

Yes John. I DO top trees when the top is dead. I'm not likely to leave one in the state that Paul's picture shows-I try for reduction cuts to decent laterals if at all possible. I topped a Norway Maple last week-got it back to fairly healthy wood, left plenty of leaf bearing wood and it looks like a tree(though not a beautiful one at present). The other 5 Norways on the other side of the property weren't so bad and just got interior deadwooded and clearance pruning. (Dieback appeared to be drought related):angel:
just for the record, we seem to be getting slammed by bronze birch borer hereabouts. tops of birch are getting killed quick. I will be working at a job a couple doors down (I was doing the quote the first visit) on Thursday by the soudn of it, I will see if they finished up after lunch.
