There were several other smaller rows and groups of them, along with some other species.
The job produced 230m3 of woodchip from pruning only, no removals!
Did a lot of pruning on macros at a heritage site, no removals sorry...
First here's an avenue we cleaned of dead, broken branches and stubs and also took some end weight out over-extended laterals on the outer faces.
Pfanner have a +7cm version as mentioned earlier. Have you tried these before Ethan? I think the leg length is fairly generous as oceans has found, but still maaaybe a little shy for you??? It may be possible to have a pair custom made by them too. Let me know if you want me to look into...
Hey Rob! One thing to consider for travelling with an access line is "stowability". I have a stupidly long 130m length of HTP for tall tree access which i dig the performance of, but it is very stiff to stow into a bag and therefore very bulky. A soft, supple, very stowable, lightweight, low...

Hey Winch, sounds like better pants is the answer!
Some Pfanner trousers have built in gaitors with a little hook that clips down onto the laces to do a good job of keeping debris out of your boots.
Mine would be this one.
65m Euc regnans removal in a nice garden. I don't get out of the office and shop much nowadays, so it was a good, challenging tree for me to go climb, along with testing out some new products.
