High spruce pruned in Apeldoorn
Today I pruned a tall spruce in Apeldoorn and removed a number of dead branches.
Pedestrians were bothered by the lower branches of the spruce tree. Therefore the desire to remove the lower hanging branches. There was also quite a bit of dead wood in the tree due to the dry summers a few years ago.
Because it was a rainy day the branches were slippery. This made good safety fuses very important to avoid falling out of the tree. The branches provided no support.
I shredded the branches in wheelie bins together with the customer and the chips were spread across the garden. This forms a very good, and fruitful, layer in the longer term.
Finally, I blew everything clean again with my leaf blower. The paving had just been newly laid and it is nice that everything is delivered neatly again.
