    ash defoliation mystery

    Turns out the tree did fully leaf out again, which is what I was predicting, given the small new growth at top. Since its not a key tree in his yard, we will just watch what it does next year. It did get the Mallet/18-3-6/1-0-1 Essential treatment this year as well, so hopefully we can keep it...

    Thanks for the tip, it's good to hear of someone who has had success with it under heavy pressure.

    ash defoliation mystery

    I appreciate the reply. I did not see any signs of anthracnose, or really any signs of anything really.. These kind of trees always bother me when I can't give an answer, but it always seems like a grove of trees (of same species) will have one that really struggles. I don't know if there is a...

    ash defoliation mystery

    I've been noticing a lot of it here in Wisconsin this season. I am having him monitor the tree and see if the leaves come out fully formed again. I appreciate it.

    EAB: How to be pro-active

    The picture I attached is from 1 season of Tree-Age treatments in 1 municipality (there were more bottles that were already triple rinsed and gone from the shop, along with our private customers as well). Anyone saying that we should start removing, replanting, and diversifying is spot on, as...

    ash defoliation mystery

    I currently went up to visit my dad, who lives on the very northern range of EAB infestation in Wisconsin. He has 8 large ash trees (green and white), which we just treated with Mallet this spring(holding off on the Arbormectin until infestation gets that far north). Anyways, as I pulled in...

    Help Starting A Small Business

    The log home building sounds awesome, I will hit you up once things get rolling;) I want to be the complete opposite of "the cheapest removal company" and luckily I live in an area with a progressive arboriculture community and a lot of people who will pay money for quality tree care. I really...

    Help Starting A Small Business

    Great post, Mike. Like a lot of others, I'm in your shoes too, and it's equally overwhelming and exciting. Just from reading through the replies I learned a lot and shifted some of my viewpoints on how to move forward. My biggest concern with converting from an arborist who works for someone...

    2 pairs of brand new Arborwear Ascender pants (W36xL32)

    As far as climbing gear I really only need a mech. device, a new foot ascender, or possibly a thimbl saver.

    2 pairs of brand new Arborwear Ascender pants (W36xL32)

    I have 2 pairs of brand new Ascender pants that were for a climber that is no longer with us, and I can no longer return them. They are black, 1 is still in the sealed packaging, and 1 is out because I tried them on, but they are huge on me. I would be willing to trade both for a pair of new...

    Proper Root Removal

    In a situation like this (given the customer cares about the well being of the tree), should pruning of the canopy be done as well to "balance" the loss of roots? Would you recommend any PHC treatments after this? Thanks!

    TreeMotion Saddle Adjustments

    Is there a good tutorial on getting initial adjustments dialed in on the Tree Motion? I just got the S.Light a week ago and it has felt great, but I need to adjust it a bit more and I'm kind of lost, as its a lot different than other saddles I've used. Also if I freely hang in the saddle and...
