@Brocky, yes he did have the ladder tied on to the tree. You would not want to hurt that expensive piece of equipment if things got harry.

So I just pulled up to do a consultation and across the street is this professional arborist. I really envy you guys in states with regulatory boards.
He is "pruning" with a machete. These are the guys people want me to price match against.
That poor tree. Absolutely no tip work.

You know, this is kind of alarming, I almost exclusively use Rock Exotica hardwear and have never had any issues. However this is not the first time I have heard of QC issues with Notch branded gear. Another member was commenting on gate issues on some 'bieners.
While I do like having an...
@oldoakman, I have to agree, I don't think anything will ever replace my hitch climber. For DdRT that is.
But back to the main point, that video is alarming.

I was given a Rook about a year ago. Used it as a lanyard adjuster for the whole time, no real complaints. I do love the little rubber grommets that hug your biener.
To be honest with you tho I don't think it will ever replace my hitch climber pullie. I am a huge fan of midline attach-ability...
So what the hell is happening out there?? Just woke up to the craziest news of the year. 50+ fatalities and over 400 injured.
My heart goes out to each and everyone of them and their family's. And I hope no one from this family was effected.
What is this world coming to?

I just applied my fertilization to this cedar elm, and something surprising happened. The tree took up the IV bottle faster then I thought possible, Like the product was spraying out of the arborplugs or something. I checked everything and there was no product spillage.
It is still before 9 am...
@Oroboros, I use superthrive in my soil treatments all the time, I love the stuff. My problem here is, other then the root flair, I really have no access to the soil this trees roots should be occupying.

So I will be doing a Nutriroot injection on the cedar elm tomorrow to attempt to save this tree.
I am still trying to figure out the best method for pricing on the arborjet treatments. This job does not have to be super high profit due to the fact that I am always working for this client, but...
@colb, Are you suggesting something similar to a cobra installation? This is the clients prized tree so we want to do anything we can to save it.

From what I understand cambistat and shortstop are growth hormone regulators that virtually stopped apical growth in the canopy and promote fine feeder root growth. I have got the arborjet product you mentioned and thought it would be a good idea to make that attempt as well.

When it comes to plumbing and roots, as we all know, people preserve their flush toilets before their oak/elm/ maple.
My question is this; When root damage is unavoidable, how do we support the tree until a new root system is established?
My situation.
I have a long term client that had...
