Heya all,
Well this is a palm that Myself and my Father (JayD) removed the other week.
It was pumped up at the bottom and had alot of rot. So we deemed it un-climbable.
We tied the rope as high as we could for the positive fell and slit the palm from the back to avoid dumping it on the sleepers, tiles, pool filter and a Completely Dead Tree. We also left the fronds on to provide a cushion from the huge thud.
What I mean't by slit it at the back basically as it sounds; We cut it from the backside of the tree with no felling wedge in it - Thus it not being able to roll off or shoot forward.
Before making any comments please take into consideration Myself and my Father (JayD) are highly experienced when it comes to palm removals as we take them out by the dozens.
The Problem
Touchdown Zone
The Rot
The Aftermath (Forgot to get photo straight after it was down, so no we didn't put that upper-cut in before we cut it at the base lol)
The Street Pole
The Cut
The Mess
Cleanup/Knock off time
