I think I will top that one limb down to were i can reach it safely. Not worth getting hurt over.
These trees are sixty years old. Never been watered. We do not get much precipitation here either.
Here is the tree I am talking About especially the one marked. The stuff that I need to remove is circled. The old topping cuts are marked in red. The connection appears rather poor. We are trying to save these trees for the shade. The house is uninsulated.
I would like to hear about any close...
I am currently working in elm trees that have been topped years ago. I need to deadwood some tops above a good tie in point. The climate here is dry so there is very little rot.
There are only single branches coming from the topping cuts.
the connection above the topping cuts seem fairly...
