    Fear cost me a job with a company today

    Good advice on spending more time in big trees, and getting to know them. I can't relate to the fear taking over; I just breathe deep and think it through. Gut and instinct are lower chakra energy and often a bad influence. imo Yoga and meditation are key balancing practices for me, that...

    Pruning Queen Palms

    You're right; that's a lot of work, so getting close sounds better.

    Pruning Queen Palms

    I hear ya; polesaw does not work well on pod stalks, so a pole pruner is needed for those.

    Thanks Mark for posting that here! We do need to pay more attention to roots.

    Good luck with that...he's heard those same concerns from me for 10+ years. Similar to his bit here; lots of good philosophy, but how does it translate into action? Contrast that with the detail and specifics in the excellent first section, by the aptly named Mr. de Groot...

    ID oak wilt?

    Looks like a scavenger--but what is that white disc leaning on the trunk?

    What treatments are being trialed? Can they really be replicated? I agree with the philosophy, but how/does it inform practice?

    Earth first, roots first.. Good message, but as usual TEP is maddeningly short on specifics.

    Hurricane Watch: Florence

    Dodged a bullet; missed out on excitement so heading to coast after water recedes. Several communities there have had specified crown reductions; the hypothesis is, they will do better!

    Hurricane Watch: Florence

    I AM home, and it's coming right at me! Then it turns toward Charleston; who knows. Very easy to sell reduction pruning right now!

    Sudden limb drop questions:

    All that dead wood--on the tension side?-- might be from sun damage or preevious injury. Therefore, it's technically not SLD. And I would question the not-overextended observation--that one looks mighty long, and heavy on the end.

    Air launchers, and pneumatic line lifting devices

    After spending 30 minutes setting a line this morning with a bigshot, this is interesting. Sadly I cannot launch an 8 oz ball 80' high, which used to be easy.

    TC, i read "Rod went a foot down inside open cavity at union." and I should have sussed out that you meant "Rot..." but I was a bit careless there... As I was with Marasmius; my main point being that fungi should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

    Reduce to mitigate lean. Flare should be cleared and inspected. A streak of dysfunctional wood below an amputation cut like that is fairly normal. Tree is showing response. btw this could have been avoided if someone looked at the standard. Every brace rod shall be backed up by a cable...
