    Silver Maple Root Situation

    It really sounds like you need a consultant to do this work. This is not something taught when you become an ISA CA or at college.

    Don't even bother with the education, people like in your ad are not listening.

    Be careful around trees, let alone-- in em'

    The Bride is alive and relatively well. It might be her mother though. I wish there was a photo of the base. One arborist interviewed on TV said that the tree might have fallen because of the drought!

    Experience doing tree work in Hong Kong (Job Currently Available)

    Okay, I am familiar with some but not all. I could be convinced to come if not climbing is involved.

    Experience doing tree work in Hong Kong (Job Currently Available)

    What are the high density trees? Surely not Ficus macrophylla and Ceiba spp. Perhaps the Auracarias and Camphors?

    Experience doing tree work in Hong Kong (Job Currently Available)

    That is a really good offer, if you can stand the heat and humidity. Frank Rinn, Chris Luley, and Russ Carlson have all been at the conferences this year. What sonic tomography unit and resistograph?

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    Certainly RCA and ASCA are a more exclusive group. There are BCMAs that have failed the RCA process three times!

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    I think if you look at RCA the numbers are far lower. ASCA has about 600 members, current new RCA number in high 500's now but many have retired and perhaps 300(?) active.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    I get the impression that the accreditation is not highly regarded and few are taking the exam. Even with the easing of the marks and questions it is going nowhere. If the numbers do not pick up soon I think we will see the BCMA dropped from ISA.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    Well 51% indicates that most are going to pass.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    Nobody here (well one person) knows what education I have. The test is about MONEY, it has nothing to do with trees.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    reduced to ???? maybe 4 or 5% reduction in the pass percentage and easier questions. Likely the the test is 50% as hard if that makes any sense.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    Well a 100% increase in pass. The people who failed are correct that some of the wording was poor but I am willing to bet that they did not deserve to pass. As I have said repeatedly the test can be passed by a high school student; it is not hard.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    SO I heard today (from a reliable source) that the pass rate for the BCMA test is now 51%, up from 25% prior to the temporary cessation earlier this year and late last.

    Simplest way to qualify for the BCMA exam?

    Oh I cannot help myself, there is no way a person gains a liberal education in a matter of weeks. One of the traditional reasons to attend higher levels of education is to learn how to filter information, but more importantly to have a wide range of exposure to materials, people, ideas etc. and...

    Trees from a distance

    They have a very distinctive look to them, large flat spays and rather thick looking branches.
