Trimmed back a paulownia from a 1850s slate roof. The limb was about 40’ long. I also cut many of the largest poison Ivy vines I’ve ever seen (5-6’ dia) in an effort to stop the strangulation of the canopy. Homeowner said someone from the county told him 30 years that it’s the largest of its species in Maryland. Massive DBH. We’re going to try to keep it as long as possible. Also removed several tall but skinny trees overhanging the slate roofed barn.
Took 2 Tecnu showers and had on long sleeves. Worst case, I’ll be severely itchy and require prednisone in 2 days.
First time customer who was very pleased and wants me back to do more work. Very large property with mature trees close to home and the owners are quite pleasant and willing to pay.
John, my groundie was a friend who brokered the deal and he wanted to do it. We’ve worked together enough that I felt a little guilty not having you on site.
