What’s the most dangerous tree you have ever had to deal with?

We have dealt with some amazing trees in the 22 years we have been qualified as tree surgeons, but one that sticks in my mind was a large Oak tree that fell on to a local Care Home overnight in high winds. The challenge we had was to clear the tree from the roof without causing any more damage, whilst the most fragile residents were still in their beds as they couldn’t be moved! When we arrived there was a missive split in one of the branches and it was in danger of falling further into the windows on the ground floor. We had to make struts from some of the branches and use them like massive “forks” to prop up the tree and stop further movement. Then our expert climber Martin got onto the roof and started the delicate task of cutting the branches and throwing them to the ground – away from the property. It took a full day to remove the tree, the damage was not as bad as it could have been and the owners were really grateful for the care we took not to disturb the residents or let the tree fall further onto the home. The following day we returned to clear the site and remove the huge tree stump from the garden.
