i've been careing for this tree for about 10 years now........what do you guys think? does it have another 10 years left in it?

I guess when it finally dies and you cut it down, she's gonna want you to leave the stump 24" high so she can put a plant on it.

Nice cabling job.



First time I've seen a tree where you'd START on a limb and climb DOWN the trunk!

 

[kf_tree]

she wanted me to put lights on it for the holidays but i was afraid the weight would take the tree down.

every time it snows i go by in the bucket and brush the snow off for 300.00. i was going through my records the other night and i figure i made about 35,000.00 from that tree already. i'd hate to see it go.

The only thing better is toput a plant IN it. Taht rotted wood is so fertile!

Just be sure to not wear any spikes unless you are planning on a removal...

well, i spiked the tree for the first 6 years of my topping and maintanance program. phase 1-8 then o bought the bucket, so now i only spike it once a year for fun.

Ken if that tree hollows out a little more you'll have your own little outhouse.........for just such an ermmmmmmmergency!!!

 

[rahtreelimbs]

Ken you are in this solely for the money right???

 

[xtremetrees]

What a throw ball monster KF.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

I'm with Guy, put a perennial garden in the stump and leave the "log" for a planeter trough. You would not need to bring in much potting soil

 

[darkstar]

Down here we couldnt even get 300 to remove it and grind the stump .Nice pic.

 

[kf_tree]

ok ok ok now the truth...........it's just a tree i drive past everyday on my was to work since i moved to orange county ny. i think it's pretty cool. the one limb that is left in the spring and summer is full of leave's with no dead tip's.

just a cool pic i thought i would pass along.

 

[skwerl]

Ask Guy to explain why it needs a crown reduction...

 

[NickfromWI]

Honestly, I'm glad to see that tree still standing. Yes, it's near it's end, but remember treetime...this tree might have DECADES left.

I can't tell in the pic, but is there a chance of it hitting the house if it were to fall?

love

Hehe! Even Guy couldn't call for more reduction.

 

[Diesel JD]

[kf_tree]

I'm amazed anyone seriously thought you were caring for this tree! I was going to ask where on the Internet you found the picture.
