Euc take down..watch for dead limbs falling
Hi canyon, I have done a few TDs in the open.
I think the biggest thing is to check for dead limbs vibrating loose and becoming widowmakers above you while doing yuor cuts. Also watch for the wek crithces described above.
i am no Ekka or anything, but if yuo want a second set of eyes, i might be available depending on when you do the job.
if these are eastern SanDiego county, it would b wise to expect some damage due to the drought and the various insects.
Eucalyptus hills in Lakeside, and mainstreet Ramona had some big TDs in the last few years. ia have dropped a few in Lakeside, bu tthe biggest was only 28 inches dbh, so if yuo have monsters we would be in virgin territory.
Good luck, let me know. Dve in jamul..
