    SGR on B&B tree

    Good post and good evidence why we should throughly excavate newly planted trees. Many come with sgrs or the potential for them from the get go. It’s too bad 90% of the people installing trees will not bother to check.

    PGR and Flowering

    Do not use Paclobutrazol on Dogwoods as they will over regulate and you will have dime size leaves for many years to come. Same goes for Jap Maples. My experience has been an increase in both flower, seed, and fruit production after using Cambistat.

    Printers in the truck?

    I use the Cannon Pixma ip110. Works great. It goes out with me in my briefcase with my laptop. The battery is sold separately and lasts with a full charge for a couple days of proposals. It is blue tooth capable but I use the hard wire as it is faster.

    Net Profit

    What do you think a good net profit is for a legitimate tree care company (paying taxes, comp, liability) of 2-3 employees with a gross of 500k-750k? I've always thought 20%-25% but I really don't know where I got that number from. We are all getting to the end of the year and it's number...

    Stupid cabling idea

    We use the Havens grip when installing cables with Rig Guy’s. They need to have some pre tension. With conventional cable install using eye bolts we would take a measurement aloft, have the cable cut to size on the ground, then tension by snugging the eye bolts (if you have the proper size eye...

    Hey Look at My Crud...

    # of ml per inch of dbh by any chance? I was told Acelepryn did not work well as a trunk or root applied systemic (like Dino). Guess those folks were wrong.

    Possible Mite Damage?

    Rhabdocline or Swiss Needlecast are the most common on Abies. Pretty much the same thing as Rhizo Needlecast on Spruce.

    EAB treatment pricing

    I used to charge by the ml and am now charging $15 per inch for Em Ben injections. Works out to be a little higher on the smaller trees and a little lower on the bigger trees price wise. I use the medium rate for trees up to 20” and the medium high rate for trees over 20” dbh on an every other...
