Ok, I'm still a bit new to this whole proper four seasons thing...it's getting well into autumn here, A big old ash tree that I had been looking at for a while has just come my way.
I had left my card at the house when I saw a big branch had broken out up top.
Yesterday the owner stopped me outside the store and said he's like to get the branch cut out and the weight reduced on the bigger limbs.
Thing is the tree is just starting to change colour on the inner branches...
My gut says leave it till its naked, but I'll be unavailable in about three weeks, and not able to get back to it for a couple months at least.
By the time I'm back to climbing it will be late winter/early spring...
He's waited this long...
What would you do?
