A nice and professional job done August, I can see that you have a passion for trees. What is so sad for all old trees is that they cannot move anywhere and are at the mercy of anybody with a chainsaw and in this case the tree was there first so it was good that the home owners didn't take it out but lightened it's load so it could live longer. I highly recommend a book that changed my views on farming and managing nature called 'Wilding'. it's written by an English lady with a name I'd like called Isabella Tree, I have even met her and seen one of her talks and at the moment she's travelling around the US, so go and see a talk if you can. She and her husband Charlie have a dairy farm of about 3,500 hectares in Sussex, England and by pure luck decided to quit farming in about 2000 just before the foot & mouth disease that nearly wiped out Britain's dairy farm industry. They sold all their farming equipment and dairy herd and left their land to look after itself with ponies, beaver, pigs, deer and long-horned cattle to do most of the land management. 20 years on their efforts have been rewarded and the results can be seen at the Knepp Farm Estate where they do safari's and wedding events. Their book has an entire chapter about trees which has some amazing facts about trees which you may or may not know. They are also lucky to have some very ancient Oak trees and the facts and anecdotes that she write about those trees are really cool especially the symbiotic relationship that they have with a member of the Corvid family, the Jay. Oak trees will actually put down branches to the ground so that they can help support their own weight. Unfortunately because we humans have an idealised view of how trees should look the trees that grow in the urban environment usually have these limbs chopped off. In the UK there are about 8 to 900 or so of these really ancient (500 years plus) beauties and in the whole of Europe there are about 1,200 of them. Anyway, keep up the good work and video's and just in case you want to know more about sustainable buildings using cob, lime mortars/plasters or even straw-bale structure then please contact me here on KZfaq and I'll do what I can to answer you, I don't advertise as all my work is by word of mouth. Also I get no money from talking about Isabella's book or the Knepp estate, I do it because the whole world should do this, rewilding would probably help to save our planet, it would certainly help to stop all the flooding that happens.

We had a large Oak with 3 Trunks. It was over 15' in circumference, 4' off the ground. The Canopy spanned 97'. Some people suggested cabling it for added strength. The center of the trunks had a deep bowl that water would get into and sit. There was a crack that started at bowl and went down between trunks. We knew it would go some day. We had a rope swing on it for years. Luckly it sat 120 yards behind house. One breezy day 3 years after seeing the crack it split into 3rds. No words could describe the sadness I felt. I knew we were not the only ones that enjoyed it. The kids had found an old coin from the mid 1700's under the tree, prior to it coming down.

@danisprettygay5 жыл бұрын
Their "trimming" was doubtless the problem. Canopy elevations and lion tailing branches every time that they begin to re-establish interior growth is why trees like that fall apart. Proper pruning is difficult, which is why not many of us do it. Some calculated structural pruning for a couple of decades prior would have made failures like that one very rare indeed.

I don’t know. That was the craziest swinging I ever saw by an arborist. In the neighborhood where we live there are many very tall (70’) tall trees. Often storm damaged and taken down for safety and damage prevention. But the crane is above the limb to be cut with a slight tension. And they have very minimal movement once cut and then are lowered gently. Not this wild swinging which appears very dangerous to people working equipment and surrounding structures. That didn’t even look like a cable. It looked like a rope. They have cranes with cables and then use wide and long nylon straps to secure the limb. Straps like you use in a shop to move heavy equipment. Looked pretty sketchy to me TBH.

My father was a land surveyor so when he said it was 192 feet drip edge to drip edge I believe it. And after he retired, during an exceptionally productive year he actually weighed the acorns he raked up. 11,750 pounds of acorns! And it never had any significant branch break off in 58 years.

The gopro can be a great informative tool.... I had issues with my groundie running my ropes, ever since we switched to a bollard. I put a gopro on his head & after watching footage I realized he was actually hooking it up wrong. Its difficult to know what's happening on the ground when you are in the tree, but the ability to veiw footage after work has helped me MANY times. Great job & good edit! STAY SAFE #AdamIsABigDude😂

You teach them to do it watch them do it multiple times in a simulated situation until you’re confident they can do it way to many people half adding teaching it’s sad

Being from Northern Michigan, I see a months worth of firewood from that bad boy! The eager beaver impressive, but a waste of firewood, not needed in your warm climate. Great skill and patience on that Widow Maker!

Very clever pruning. Planning where the limbs will swing. Excellent.

Just wondering how much the bill is for a job like this
@Stettafire3 жыл бұрын
In the UK a job that like that would be 2k, more then likely over 3k. My best guess would be 4k-4.5k. Baring in mind wagers are lower in the UK then the US, so even ignoring exchange rates that's probably equivalent to about 6 or 7k US.

Great explanation from Damien around 2:00+ (yes, make sense). Question(s), please .... Is cabling not an option *after* a tree has *already* split? e.g. for a tree with a a split like that one had, nothing can be done to make it safe/enjoyable for any reasonable amount of time(?) thanks!
@AugustHunicke5 жыл бұрын
The time for saving that tree would have been by end weight reduction pruning prior to the failure. After a failure of that magnitude on a tree of that magnitude and a location of that magnitude I will never recommend rescue of the tree. No bracing. No cabling. No pruning. Instead, a new era.

Awesome video. I love all the work you guys do. Question for you... When taking weight off a limb like that, where do you start so as not to take weight off the weak side of the fracture thereby creating a huge moment arm on the opposite side? Kind of like if the limbs weight is fairly balanced left-right and you take off everything on the left then the weight on the right isn't counteracted. Does that make sense? I'm just glad Damien avoided the tree crashing on the house! But also curious how you solve that puzzle. Cheers!
@AugustHunicke5 жыл бұрын
The question can’t be answered well because it’s case by case. Except to say that balancing limbs while rigging is by common sense and experience. If you are speaking of potentially upsetting the anchorage of a tree by removing too much weight off one side, this is also case by case and rarely a concern. We did however hop around a bit on this tree, just in case, to guard against upsetting anchorage, because it was so massive and span heavy.

Wow, what a joy to watch this controlled tree surgery. It has “tickled my fancy” to watch it this morning here in Scotland. I’d be no use at your job though, cannot stand heights, but can bear to watch it, knowing it’s not me that’s up there 🥴 Well done guys, going to watch the end of it now 👍🏻

I have a silver maple at home pretty much the same size as this tree shown in video. Being aware that those branches are the size of other trees, how much does it cost to take off just one main branch?
