Willow Reduction...Age ?

[RobJMurf]

Did a reduction on this large Salix babylonica and wondered if anyone could estimate age? DBh 1040mm.height aprrox 18m.
My guesstimate 80 years +.

Fine-looking work, sir!

I hear trees grwo pretty well in tasmania--80 may be high.

Good work rob, on a species that doesn't lend itself well to good reduction pruning too!

Here in Victoria a willow like that might be 50-70yo
