    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    I should add, I reduced that left side about 10-15ft four years ago. While climbing I was wondering if I should have been putting a bracing rod in.

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    Reducing the left side lateral leader to drastically reduce weight on the union and slow down diameter growth. I think they’re about 30 feet long from the union. I know it’s hard to tell from the pictures, but I just wonder if a rod would be beneficial in this situation. A cable would be at a...

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    Thoughts on installing a bracing rod with no cable in this sweetgum? I’m thinking HEAVY reduction on the left lateral leader and one rod above the union?

    Visiting The Redwoods (Crescent City?)

    Mostly just visiting the parks/trees & ocean and a walkable town to stay in would be nice.

    Visiting The Redwoods (Crescent City?)

    If anyone lives out near the redwoods or is familiar with the area, is Crescent City a good place to stay in a lodge/hotel as a base to see the best parks for a family vacation? Or where else would be a good option? Thanks for any advice!

    Landscape design programs?

    I know this isn’t the typical tree service related question, but does anyone have recommendations for simple landscape design software or apps? I see there are some free apps available. It’d be cool to be able to use an aerial photo that can be edited. I’m looking to label what trees are...

    ISA Webpage

    It used to be when doing the online CEU quizzes, it was recorded instantaneously and quite gratifying on winter days if I remember correctly. Now I have to email them and ask what’s going on weeks after completion asking if it will be recorded. Also, they don’t have the CEU’s accurate for the...

    Echo dcs 3500t

    I haven’t had any problems with the Makita batteries…..yet. I have eight of them and I rotate them which I think helps.

    Echo dcs 3500t

    I’ve noticed that too. But I still love the little saw. My Makita’s are unaffected by the cold.

    Echo dcs 3500t

    Anybody use the new echo top handle yet? DCS 3500 T Looks like its their battery powered removal saw where the 2500T is more for pruning. Just over 1 pound heavier than the 2500T. Looks interesting. https://www.echotools.com/en_us/products/chain-saws/top-handle-chain-saw/dcs-3500t

    ISA Webpage

    If they can’t even create a functional webpage for their members and Cert holders that are paying a pretty penny, what else are they doing with all the money we send them thats dysfunctional?

    Calling 811 - learned something this week

    Yeah, I’m super impressed with Columbia gas. I smelled a gas leak on my exterior gas meter and they came out immediately and told me exactly where the gas leak was. They couldn’t fix it because it was beyond their responsibility so I had to have a plumber come out, but while they were there...

    ISA Webpage

    Has anyone else had problems with the ISA webpage recently? I’ve been trying to knock out a bunch of CEU quizzes and the webpage is a dysfunctional inaccurate mess. It seems like ever since they moved headquarters to Georgia the customer/member service has been hit or miss at best. Sometimes I...

    Calling 811 - learned something this week

    Exact same thing happened to me planting this fall. I think these utility companies are using random cheap contractors or something because it’s become pathetic. Columbia gas on the other hand I’ve had good luck with and I think they still pay their employees well because the ones I’ve...

    To cable or not to cable?

    The two main stems are pretty equally loaded. The one stem is leaning over the house, but I think I could take quite a bit of weight off with reducing lateral branches.

    To cable or not to cable?

    Would you recommend cabling this river birch or just prune only? If you would recommend cabling, what system would you install/cable(s) arrangement with the 4 stems? I’m going to propose pruning for weight reduction and the usual deadwood/thinning/elevating. I will say I do not see river birch...

    Kioritz Soil Injectors

    Cool, thanks! I’ll look into this. I was going to send my old injector to Save Georgia’s Hemlocks but the lady that I was in contact with passed away. She said if I mailed it to her, she would rebuild it for $200. I’ll have to look into if they still do this. I know some arborists in North...

    Kioritz Soil Injectors

    This is about as close as you’ll be able to find based on my research if you’re not able to find an old original kioritz. I’ve been using the EZ ject soil injector for years for treatments like you’re talking about, HWA etc. It’s more finicky than the old kiortz though. Just have to learn how...
