    Volunteer Trees for growing

    Both.... easier to keep alive in the ground. Easier to move out of pots. I'd use air pots or fabric bags instead of traditional pots to limit encircling roots. Instead of digging up volunteers to put in pots, collect seeds and germinate straight in the pot

    Safety Incentive Program

    I don't think they are a good idea...but I worked on a commercial site/corporate offices. Had to go through their training. I remember so many people walking by saying "be safe" and the like. Even had the guy supervising our contract call to.say someone complained about a safety violation (it...

    eastern white pine, lower third yellowing/thinning fast...not sure what it could be?

    On one or two of the pics, I thought maybe Pine Bark adelgid. But that should have shown up on some of your close-up pictures. See if there is any on the trunk, or maybe the back side of the trunk? It would usually be on the underside if it's on a branch Based on your pictures of the...

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Do you have good options for compressor rental? I bought a compressor pretty quickly after buying the AirKnife. It is great for even small jobs...even a single tree that has been over-mulched for 10 years. But small jobs are really hard to price approximately when you have to rent. Not just...

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    I like your plan and other comments with a few thoughts: I don't know what the "right" answer is for soil removal. I don't want skid loaders running all of the the root zone again. But how else do you get that much soil out of there? Air Vac? Still a lot of dirt to move. Also, I see the...

    EAB fungal infections

    so it makes sense it doesn't spread aggressively when it doesn't have enough host trees to build a massive population.

    Trailer hitch carried sprayer?

    Yeah...that would be a lot easier. I'll have to think about making a custom hitch. That didn't even occur to me.

    How dense is the Ash population there? We had woods here that were 50-75% ash canopy...

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    Yeah ...I assume it's a combination of susceptibility and maybe even what stage of growth the leaves were in.

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    Trees I saw this week....River birch with every single leaf curled: (Their back yard is against a farm field...this was their front yard...odd, because not everything else was curled. A redbud was a little, less on a burning bush and magnolia) Oak at the back of my shop property (immediately...

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    Working with a friend at a University. We are collecting rain water weekly from 7 different sites in town and will treat for Dicamba. The test we've found is such that it makes sense to run all of the samples at once so currently in the freezer for a few more weeks.
