    Stupid stitches-Cut resistant gloves?

    I was really looking forward to getting this job done and I started with a black walnut tree that had some pretty good size branches hanging over the house they wanted removed. I decided to take my pole saw up which I really didn’t need. As I was wrestling some of the cut branches to toss down...

    Work shirts with business logo?

    I’ve had the opportunity to change the name and logo of my business three times since I’ve moved to different states. I started off with “tree service” to “tree specialists” to finally deciding I needed to incorporate the word “Arborists” into the name. Been happy with that decision.

    Work shirts with business logo?

    I’m looking into getting new work T-shirts and long sleeve shirts to have the business logo put on. Has anyone found work shirts they really like? I’ve always used the under Armour material shirts made by brands like Russell, but I’m curious what others use.

    Street tree selections?

    I’ve seen the interiors of unpruned ones and it is a hairball mess. They would definitely need routine pruning to keep the interior branching spaced out.

    Street tree selections?

    Interesting you mention that. Over the past several months I’ve noticed columnar oaks planted various places that look to be doing good and wonder why they rarely get brought up in these discussions. Below are links to 2 that come up from a quick search. 45’ x 15’ fits nicely for many urban...

    Street tree selections?

    I will have to look in to sourwood more. My experience with them is just in the forest. Seems like a tree that likes some acidity? I always associate them along side sassafras and in my mind visualize pileated woodpecker holes on the trunks lol.

    Street tree selections?

    Alkaline When I lived in Northeast Tennessee, dogwood & redbuds etc were much easier to grow. As well as rhodos, azalea, pieris, hemlock……

    Street tree selections?

    Agree. European hornbeam is a different animal and doesn’t seem to mind full sun. But Reflective heat can = problems like you mention.

    Street tree selections?

    I’ve concluded a lot of those small-medium size cool natives need protection from the west and lots of soil conditioning. At least where I live now. Some older parts of town like German Village seem to have nice deep rich soils that I don’t have the pleasure to work with very often.

    Street tree selections?

    A tree that reaches at least 40x20’ I suppose. When I research the different Ginkgo cultivars, they usually suggest the Princeton sentry as the ideal street tree but I have concerns it will just be an upright stick compared to autumn gold or magyar. From what I gather, ginkgo are not known for...

    Street tree selections?

    I’m working on a spring street tree planting project in a 6.5 foot tree lawn. I definitely want to avoid trees that are known for sidewalk damage, but also want real shade trees. Any thoughts on the best ginkgo cultivar for a street tree situation? Here’s what is currently available at my local...

    Critique my "treehabilitation"

    Can’t even tell they were butchered in the past! Looks good! Those hybrid elms can take routine aggressive pruning. Hard to get central leaders on them though just because of their natural growth habits. If the branch unions are strong, I’ve learned to accept codominants and if a branch union...

    Bracing Equipment?

    I ended up getting this standard Makita, which should be an upgrade from what I was using previously. Most of the trees I’m bracing are under 20” DBH and I have access to a gas drill if needed...

    Echo DCS-2500T Clearance at HD

    That’s an amazing deal! Its a great pruning saw. But I was doing some pruning a couple weeks ago when the temperature was in the teens and the battery acted a little funky until it got warmed up. That’s my only complaint so far.
