If you're not so lucky, it may cost you time off work. We've pruned a lot of them & just recently I've had 2 quite nasty accidents where they've slid straight down the polesaw & through my fingers. Like I said, we've done heaps of them & no problem til recently, then 2 nasty incidents. I decided we don't do them anymore! Life's too short lol! Good luck!
    Er hum,

    very nice and apt summary
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Yup! you're correct! I'm back removing the bastards! No new technology, no new method, no new anything! Just $1,750 to get the bastard out! Money seems to have bought me!
