Hi all,
I've got a friend in Ocala, FL who is looking for a reputable certified arborist to do mature live oak pruning.,I told her not to hire anyone until I put it on the buzz!

Julie, I second others' advice about checking out the NT ONYX. New Tribe contributed an ONYX and a MONKEY BEAVER to the 2016 WTCW. We were able to give direct feedback to the designer and my main advice was to make the whole geometry smaller...and I know there's always new stuff in the works...
This is an outstanding discussion.

New Tribe is debuting it now at ArborFest West in Sacramento.
