    Reduction Pruning on Large Trees

    Great video and following discussion. Best message I emphasize here is giving attention to what the tree is doing. Those little shoots. Clear sign from the tree of how it wants to repair. I've been looking at pruning with a fresh eye in regards to this choice: leaving stubs to provide the...

    been using these Fiskar pruners a bunch lately. The pair I have doesn't telescope but covers a lot of ground in little crowded trees.

    Reduction Pruning on Large Trees

    In Modern Arboriculture there is a lot of focus on the proper pruning cut made at the trunk of the tree. All the talk about cutting beyond the branch collar etc. The colloquial way I learned did not emphasize reduction cuts. Usually if a limb was troublesome that whole thing was going to...

    owner operator lifestyle

    What I've noticed lately is that I feel like an old steam engine. I've been leaning on carpentry a lot over the past year, and I open my job site, look at this empty space where I need to get a bunch of pine standing up in the form of some shed or fence. I look. It takes me longer than ever...

    Reduction Pruning on Large Trees

    Great discussion. I am doing a lot of pruning on an Island where high winds are a constant feature. This has me looking a lot at the far-reaching long limbs. I am reducing them to limit bending and torsion. Checking out some trees that Daniel has been pruning with these reduction cuts...

    Do you even tie a bowline?

    My Dad was just trying to do this the other day. He had it down by muscle memory in high school (worked at a marina) and likely for years after that, but this is the 2nd time he's been trying to show me and can't get it back. It's one of those things you can't think about. It's just in the...

    Merry Christmas, Good Yule, Bless Solstice.

    And if that's all a bunch of hooey to you I remain wishing you a blessed time on this day. Another day of Life on Earth. (turn your demons to mulch. don't pretend. don't avoid. shine light in the dark and fight fire with fire, within. The Creator loves us to be Jolly, yet it's only a clear...

    Merry Christmas, Good Yule, Bless Solstice.

    Wishing you all a blessed Christmas time. I have a nice fire going, inviting ancestors to join us here for family dinner, decorating the tree, being near to one another. Even while consumerism sucked much life out of this holiday (the death toll of American culture, when Christmas became "how...

    Co-Dom Removal risk vs. reward question

    Thanks for the replies. It's good to hear observations of how these heading cuts respond over time. This tree was as you describe, @Stumpsprouts and @Njdelaney , loads of weak shallow unions with broad reach. The trunk itself stayed, I did remove the largest horizontal branch leaving a...

    Invasive Species Removal?

    I hope we see more coordination between tree industry and lumber industry. It requires a tight link, but I know we've all had moments see a massive tree full of lumber getting pulverized into chips, thinking... Wha??? The occasional massive old farm tree etc can include 1000s of dollars of...

    Co-Dom Removal risk vs. reward question

    This original post includes a question I am figuring out tonight; I am working on a co-dom Mulberry. It's got a deck built around it, growing way over a fence, a guesthouse, basically the entire drip line is over hazards. One of the leads has signs of decay or rot, like a fuzz coming out of...

    Invasive Species Removal?

    Sounds like great work. In "Tree Pruning", Shigo used this quote from "The Little Prince": "And the fox said to the little prince: 'Men have forgotten this truth. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.'" While he implied this for street trees, I...
