11 - up high !Almost 10m high !

On the first day I had to fight for the guys to buy and use ropes, and find a harness. Once they got up they understood and listened...
Had to teach them how to use them when high on small branches, and nobody got injured. (sigh... ! )

Trimming almost finished on that one, cutting branches scratching neighbor's houseSunTzuDec 08, 2008

07 - Mushroom damageThe wood is very light and you can crush it effortlessly between your fingers...
Not good !SunTzuDec 08, 2008

12 - Tallest poinsettia finished !Looks so much better and younger ! ^^

Our guys went almost 15m high in this one, but didn't think of taking the picture from FAR...SunTzuDec 08, 2008

08 - Mushroom tree VS trafficAll the branches had to go down 1 by 1, with a rope.
Had to be careful of the traffic. Some Bast**d almost run me over.

That tree was sprayed with fungicide.SunTzuDec 08, 2008

04 - Poinsettia old woundOne of the numerous old wounds on the poinsettias.

Should have been properly treated when fresh. The branch has been broken/cut twice ; hole open on wood inside tree ; not looking good for aesthetics.

As we are almost above wall separating with road, I suspect ko-to-mo teams treatment.SunTzuDec 08, 2008

06 - Mushrooms on branch - very bad signSeeing this was really worrying me beforehand for the guys who would climb up in the tree.

Injured trees very often have mushrooms infections, but when it comes to the point where you can actually see the mushrooms, it means that the wood has been extensively damaged already, and that the branch/trunk may break if you climb on it.

Fortunately that tree wasn't too high !SunTzuDec 08, 2008

01 - ficus VS insectEasy deeds first : simple insecticide on the ficusesSunTzuDec 08, 2008

02 - ficus VS insectsome where actually really badly eaten up, I wanted to have them changed.SunTzuDec 08, 2008

05 - damaged woodBranch seemed clean and healthy, but decay + boring insects were quite advanced.

Pls, note that the cut was not perfectly clean here, but that branch was cut further, with a neat cut ^^SunTzuDec 08, 2008

10 - looks like finished treatmentBoth cuts look like finished treatment, look good with ruber paste ... but on the right, the cut direction was not optimal, meaning that the tree could not cover the cut directly. The tree then has to 'sacrifice' the branch remnant first (dead branch), wait for it to fall off, then try to cover the hole.

Exact opposite of tree doctoring. Had to ask the guys to climb again...

The one on the left is perfect.SunTzuDec 08, 2008
