    Hows this for a nicely pruned tree?

    [ QUOTE ] Freddy was telling my how those trees fall apart after they get hammered like in the photo. Limbs start to break as they have been supported by the huge number of crossers that seem to form naturally in that species. jp [/ QUOTE ] That is my theory why Cypress trees are short...

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Manzanita? [/ QUOTE ] That is correct (Arctosytaphylos manzanita). The photo doesn't do the tree's bark justice. It's a beautiful smooth deep red-burgundy color and the limbs and stems twist forming a natural sculpture. This shrub-tree stands at 6 ft.(8 ft. wide) and...

    The Bry-Dan Saddle

    Here is an old pic... using the bry-dan some 12 years ago. I still have it, (my second one), but it just sits idle on the middle shelf of my truck.

    Common trees that you AirSpade

    This gives a bit of perspective of how well the callus is forming at the chisel margin

    Common trees that you AirSpade

    I will post a few shots. This is a large Live Oak in Menlo Park. We did this about 2 years ago, and it had very active Armillaria. You can see the nice callus rolls forming on both sides.

    Hows this for a nicely pruned tree?

    Not sure about you guys, but I think they missed a couple of spots... looks a bit thick in a few sections.. Man, can ya just leave a few leaves on the tree? Leaves do serve a purpose... don't they?
