Just finished a light crown reduction and thinning on a tulip tree near the centre of Carlisle(England), and got to admit its the first one i ever did, anyway the old lady told me she had went to Simcoe County Canada 30 years ago to visit relations and brought a cutting back wrapped in damp tissue and rooted it and planted it next to the street. Guess what some guys with a truck and a ladder knocked on her door a few weeks ago to tell her it was rotten and needed felling, before it fell on a pedestrian or a parked car!! Lucky she decided to call us, the tree is in perfect health and after a few cups of tea and biscuits, and looking at endless albums of holiday snaps, we scrapped the bill, and I can honestly say i have never done anything like that in my life before and probably never will again, but hey guys I feel good and our advertising signs will remain there for the next four weeks... and I slept very well that night...Jock
