Somebody taught him well :D

Here he is at it again. That one had a hell of a head lean plus Fomentarius. No reason to bore, with the chains in place, but that is just how he rolls.

Me, too. Richard very much prefers tripping big tops from behind to avoid any risk of it splitting downwards ( Circle of death) or barberchairing, so he always bore in. I don't think I could do it, but he has perfected it so it doesn't even look hard or awkward. I think my story of having a big...

Nope, we wanted the hinge to hold for as long as possible, to keep the top near the tree, there was not much room to drop it in. He bored from one side with a 36" bar, set the hinge and tripped the top. We had only a very slight pull in it, just enough to tip it over, so it went nice and...

I've been asked to do a hard crown reduction on a Liriodendron tulipifera. They are not native here and quite rare, so my experience with them is very limited. I've killed a couple, that is all. How well do they handle that kind of treatment?
