Spreading Disease from tree to tree with saws?

I have no proof that leaving banana peels on stairs will make someone slip,

But I believe it would.

I assume you charged the customary $ 50 Australian for that removal.

Curious as to which way you dropped it where you put the burn pile of limb/frond slash.

hahaha, not quite. More like $2500. With no drop zone we used a mini scissor lift that fit through the front galss sliding doors, and went up and down every block, passing it to a groundie, then up again. Went quicker than i thought. Clean up was not too bad as we used drop sheets. Stump grind below the grade was a bit difficult and messy and all chips had to be removed. We were done by 1pm. Just in time for lunch and a driiiink maybeeee.
Not every day the tree you work on is this close to a bar :cheers:

I believe these are suffering from Fusarium Wilt. How it got there first, who knows, but this is indoors, inside a hotel bistro, so i hope its not rats, possums, birds or the like.

Couldn't it be the soil conditions...the surface looks a little compacted.
The trees probably just outgrew their pots.

bar and work don't mix.

So how many drinks did $2500 get you? We would expect a generous tip.

That has to be the classic photo of the most absurb, difficult, tree removal location I've ever seen.

Well done.

No doubt the growing location is crap! The area is so limited and soil would be depleted. The irrigation also had stopped working for a while.

Thanks, what seemed like one of those jobs that could be more trouble than its worth actually pretty smoothly.

I wish i got pics on the day we did the removal.
