    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    Well that's too bad for the tree then. Lots of pruning options--you could maintain it as a mushroom!--but the kind of structure you want forces the decision. Can you buy trees with good roots?

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    OK I see the aesthetic objective now. What a strong species...And planting associates like Vitex is a fine arboricultural complementary service. :)

    Pushing Pruning Limitations

    Nice closure, but it has a ways to go, with or without the darn squirrels. Why is the target height of the crown so high? Gonna harvest the log later on?

    Hazard tree pruning/guying.

    Literally.

    Hey Look at My Crud...

    My input is to scrape away the dead stuff so you can monitor woundwood growth. And not to worry unless woundwood is colonized.

    Topping trees

    Really sad that removal is recommended over restoration, or some compromise with re-topping. We get these absolute dogmatic notions of right v wrong in trees, but it's all relative.

    Tripod/orchard ladder...10’ or 12’?

    I would not want my 12' to be 2' shorter. My 4' x 4 gorilla ladder folds up nice to fit in the truck.

    Big old dude!

    Don't crawl in without protection; bring your smocking gun fully loaded!

    Can someone identify this vine for me?

    Yes it's great on fences and unimportant trees, but it is a twining vine and will strangle trees over time. Good tip on the raking; step 1 in management. Step 2 is pulling out the roots.

    Training Callus with Mesh

    This time of year in Ohio I'd hesitate. Early spring better. I'll be up in March. One task on the program is to carve out more bark inclusions at the research site. I look at SGR's that are too big to remove as bark inclusion issues.

    Training Callus with Mesh

    Removing the bark that is in contact might free up growth. Something to try in the spring maybe.

    Training Callus with Mesh

    If it's on the mesh, the growth will not curl inward. Yes there is bridging and grafting involved. I'm trying to practice grafting; would like to try that sometime.

    Post Florence Damage

    If the trunk is not cracked and the soil is not heaved up, where is the hazard? That could straighten itself. If you do whack it, all the adjacent trees will be higher risk. NO need to clearcut the planet after a storm.

    I don't think there is such a duty.

    Training Callus with Mesh

    Yes I like the plastic stuff; easier to cut too. But 'eventually' might be centuries in the historic garden I saw them in. And I doubt metal mesh would screw up a chainsaw too bad.

    So with the lost crown spread points, is it still champ?

    Training Callus with Mesh

    Pet mesh looks too flexible; thicker gauge is available. Yes, concealing cavities from view can save trees from fear. Arborists gotta be psychologists too.

    What this?

    Good answer to a questionable question.
