    Triple tie in for spar work

    Agreed, all the ropes and lanyards together is not good, personally my climbline is 12-18" lower than my lanyard. For me foot position on the spar is where the stability comes from adding more gear to the set up just adds complications and time, but if thats what you need do what you need. In...

    whats going on with arbs?

    Possible problem with irragation on that specific tree causing stress then freeze damage. Just a thought. Arborvitae around get alot of freeze issues.

    @Tom Dunlap, figured I would ask this question in the open in case someone else was curious. Why are the times that show when someone posts a response not accurate? For example a post I made last light shows a time of 2 something am. May give the wrong impression of someone making posts at crazy...

    What Ulmus species

    Bark and structure doesnt look like an American though. English elm, Ulmus procera as a guess I have only seen a few.

    Leaves look too big for a Siberian more like American to me.

    The "right" way to prune

    Before I can form an opinion on this specific case I would need more info. Why specifically allowwing the tree to get bigger was not an opition and why removal wasnt an option.

    The "right" way to prune

    Sometimes if the mood catches me I will respond with" what shape would you like me to make it". Got a company out here that has "god makes em we shape em" on the side of their trucks. Total hacks.

    The "right" way to prune

    Definition of bonsai, planted in container.

    The "right" way to prune

    Indiscriminate in my mind is shaping. Where you draw a line and cut with no regards for laterals or proper reduction standards as in shearing a hedge. Shaping, not a term I would use discussing tree pruning. At disneyland they shape trees like Mickey mouse, stars, balls etc.

    The "right" way to prune

    Not relevant to this conversation. The "I" in ISA does stand for international. This isnt about European ideas vs US ideas.

    The "right" way to prune

    Furthermore, my comments on bonsai were in response to the op referring to bonsai as some kind of pruning style. I was giving a defination of bonsai not making an equivalency to crown reduction.

    The "right" way to prune

    Actually I was doing the opposite, bonsai and crown reduction are not the same, that was the point. FYI, your keyboard insults do not reflect well on your opinion, please try and refrain.

    The "right" way to prune

    I need no clarifaction on what bonsai is. Your response here has nothing to do with bonsai. You are describing crown reduction not bonsai 2 different subjects, does that make sense?

    The "right" way to prune

    Battering trees with the hope they come back "lovely". I am guessing our defination of "lovely" is different.

    The "right" way to prune

    I am always baffled by the idea that bonsai is some kind of pruning style for normal trees. Bonsai is a plant in a container that is meant to limit it size by limiting its root area. Pruning on bonsai is to create the look of a full size tree in nature. There are many styles within the art of...

    The "right" way to prune

    Shortening branches or reduction can drastically effect a tree which should be done with thought and consideration. Unthoughtful tree work abounds everywhere, its called hacking.

    The "right" way to prune

    I dont like the term "shaping" which to me indicates indiscriminate rounding over to create an image of how a tree should look in someones mind. This is a term I would use in shearing hedges or bushes. I dont recall "shaping" as a pruning term in ISA standards. Crown reduction and end weight...

    Liberalism ruins everything it touches.

    This feels like progress. Not that either one has changed our opinion but rather we are understanding each other.
