Sorry for the lack of information. These trees have never been pruned and there is a good bit of dead in them. The dead isn't huge by anymeans, so a hand saw will be used.
I was planning on using static line.
The only tree gear I have is pruning equipment and a few chain saws. I landscaped/pruned trees for my first 4 years out of highschool so I at least know how/what to prune. Only problem is my pole saw just isn't long enough for the rest of the work.
The trees are two ash trees that are at a min. of 20 years old with one closer to 30.
Dad wants the 30 year old tree gone, but I don't have the heart to do so.
