ehtreecare,
Tree owners are the custodians of our treescape, they deserve the best advice
possible that will enable them to make the right decisions. I think it is a
shame that more emphasis is not put on sales delivery as a skill for tree
practitioner principals, a greatly undervalued skill that given the level of
underpinning knowledge most committed arbs have could be an invaluable tool.

Subject: Re: Pruning Induced Stress
After reading through the majority of this thread im happy sitting on the
fence and actually im sure most are as reaally it will be full circle with
right and wrongs imo. Theres positives that can come dependant on the
questions set- do we reduce trees to what ever exdent our remit is or make
other recomendations of works and tree maintenance cycle needs ?
I personally feel alot comes down to the client- some of our clients know
they want tree cut and whether we do it or not that tree is being cut!!
However other clients only want advice and as a contractor with pride and
morals these are usually the jobs you spend most of the time talking with the
client and actually its lovely just looking around well established trees and
gardens and work recomendations are usually minimal and you do come away
feelinv professional and happy that thoose trees arent going to butchrred or
having un necessary works on them.
My question is not to start a fight but what is the to's thoughts regarding
this thread-in relation to our street trees..do you feel we should fell and
replant trees that have had works on them from day dot- i do hope not as
where would be a justification other than the its what people think is better?
or leave them to go a little ' natural' ie a street tree like lime/plane/elm
etc with no works for over 7/10 yrs - again not sure what justifications
youll be telling the house owners down the street!
Im intrigued as to where this thread will go as actually it seems like the
last few posts are questioning the future. Ps this post may not make too much
sense to others but somehow it does in my little head.

Hmm. I'd say that most people are pro tree, but pro tree usually means that
they'd rather bastardise an existing tree than replace it as per Peter's
suggestion. Do arb's suggest that leave alone or replacement might be a
better option? No idea meself, never used one. I do love a pollarded tree.

satisfy the short term imperative of jobbing arbs.
As an aside, IMO the ancient pollards of yore have survived because they
did not have to contend with the environmental trauma of urban living.
