    What's killing arborvitae?

    Part of what I was driving at last post is the notion that perhaps they, as a species have a tendency to just shit the bed when they get upset? I have seen that as the general pattern in my area. They are either green, and growing along well enough. or mostly/fully dead all of a sudden. Is this...

    TCIA WTF?

    You got the capitalization of the initials right on here. All caps ARTIFICIAL, small "i" intelligence. I actually really hate the term Ai, because there is literally nothing intelligent about it. Ai is a buzzword that people latched onto, but all we are talking about is AA, Advanced Algorithms...

    What's killing arborvitae?

    For whatever it's worth to ya, I can think of several arbovitae hedges in Butte county that have the same thing going on. Can you attest to the planting practices at the other sites? I'm not super familiar with them, other than what I read on a few nursery websites. I don't see a whole lot of...

    TCIA WTF?

    I would be wanting my money back if I paid for a subscription and was sent that

    TCIA WTF?

    It's definitely not the most responsible use of the data. I find it strange that there was never any poll or discussion to find out what we, the regular users of the site, would think about the forums being used in this way. There aren't a lot of us, and there is a very easy to use platform on...

    TCIA WTF?

    I just wanna remind the TreeBuzz admin that several of us have stated that we would pay for a subscription access to the Buzz to avoid ads and keep the lights/server on.

    TCIA WTF?

    It does feel weird. I would rather not be named. I don't try to be anonymous here, but I don't see any reason to publish names like that. I think that readers would benefit more from joining in the discussion. Maybe TCIA could try just publishing a teaser for a thread and encourage readers to...

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    The Canary Island Pine aggressively sprouts suckers all over the trunk, and I bet one could perhaps train those into a hedge, but I wouldn't invest much energy into almost any species of pine as a hedge.

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    Yea, I have had to explain that to countless people around here. If you don't want a towering giant next to your house, don't plant conifers that get over 100 freaking feet tall with ease. Did they plant them? How old is the client? Have you gotten them to state their expectations out loud...

    What's killing arborvitae?

    I have seen a lot of different plants, though never every individual of course, respond especially badly to rapid cycling between extreme moisture profiles. I think it's been affecting trees of most species in the general western region over the last twenty years as we've gone through several...

    I guess you can lead an arborist to some trees, but you can't make him see the forest. You are correct in that humility doesn't HAVE TO come in the form of social posting with total strangers, but given the circumstances, you may want to consider whether or not some humility HERE might go a long...
