    "Murdering Trees"...(Kevin Bingham)

    Rural sites are different; sure. Phasing out only works when there is something else that will Positively phase in.

    "Murdering Trees"...(Kevin Bingham)

    Don't get me wrong--if Lonicera b or Morus a. etc. have good competition, I'll kill em, aka select against them. But it makes no sense to deforest our towns if there is nothing there to take its place.

    We should admire and learn from successful adaptation, not destroy it.

    "Murdering Trees"...(Kevin Bingham)

    Some places in NM are 100% Ulmus pumila, Chinese elm. .The nativists who want to remove them have no viable plan for replacement. At the 2020 ISA conference you should be able to see how they are managed in Albuquerque with specified reduction pruning. Come on down, Dave!

    Need help with an old pine tree that possibly lift the house!

    Could be so beautiful if pruned well! Good tip re Niwaki--layer that baby up with cloud pruning and the neighbors will be sooooo jealous! Property value $$$$$$$

    Phosphorous on Axe-Wounded Oaks?

    Drenching with phosphites harms the tree? You just meant injecting, right?

    Need help with an old pine tree that possibly lift the house!

    1. Dig the dirt away from the house. 2. Cut any roots where they touch the foundation. 3. Backfill with coarse stone. 4. Mail me a check for $285. for this consultation. Why do arborists think that "prune" only means branches? We forget the bottom half of the tree is ours to manage, too.

    Dead (and Undead) Wood

    RBJ, welcome. We see infections spread from dead stubs in many species of trees and pests, so I agree about removing it before infection spreads.

    Basics of Pruning and Removal for Beginners.

    Some of their work was some help. This one established that reduction was more stabilising than thinning, which can be applied to older trees as well. Arboriculture & Urban Forestry 2015. 41(1): 3–10 Structural Pruning Effects on Stem and Trunk Strain in Wind Edward F. Gilman, Jason W...

    Basics of Pruning and Removal for Beginners.

    I don't get the point of rolling pruning and removal together. Like surgery and undertaking; not a logical mix. Yes we gotta start somewhere with pruning, and anatomy and physiology is the place--along with learning to establish the objective. A focus on mechanics is the wrong place to start...

    Fear cost me a job with a company today

    To feel at home in treetops, get up there and swing around a little! And drink in the views. Gut = 3rd chakra. I like to tune into #4-8 more. Biome is fine thanks; so that area does not need much attention. **But there's nothing to argue here--the terms are undefinable. **

    Fear cost me a job with a company today

    Study of energy centers is ancient--not "new age". Embrace of mechanistic reasoning to biological science sounds newagey to me. Your gut never lies--really? O that's right; all it can do is digest, or puke. LOL! But there's nothing to argue here--the terms are undefinable.

    What we do is quite special. Perspective is everything.

    Nobody owned a shovel and a hand saw to prune the roots? wtf. High drama on the removal, but easier than preservation.

    Brain is more powerful; and accurate! Gut instinct aka fear, greed...anti-science, btw. ;) Chakras are associated with major glands--tons of science, since Paracelsus! 7th chakra - pineal gland, look it up! joezilla, I never went to sleep, but was reborn in the top of the tree. OP needs to...

    This part i like. I sit at the base of the tree and lean back and feel the sapstream merge with my spinal fluid.
