    Chipped-up climbing gear

    okay, here's the deal, I chipped that gear, and your story is all wrong. It was in Seattle, summer of 2001. Dave and I were working for Seattle Tree service on a Saturday doing sidework (We both worked for Ballard Tree Service at the time). Anyways it was at this Condo in Greenwood. It was some...

    PA state champion trees

    Are there any other PA arborists involved in the tree measuring project? I have about 8 counties assigned for me to measure and still haven't received any measuring instructions. If anyone has these instructions, would you mind forwarding them to me? Thank you kindly.

    A friends problem...

    What would a carport entail? A couple of posts and a roof? It seems like the most noninvasive solution, and perhaps the most cost effective as well, when you consider that severing half of the rootsystem two feet from the base would probably kill the tree. This would only mean more expense down...

    A friends problem...

    That's just crazy talk. I 've never heard of that gooey sap thing and lived in Redwood country for 20 years. "cut the roots at the property line"? As well as I know, redwood roots extend WELL beyond the dripline. And destroying half of the the rootsystem would not only ruin the tree, but...

    treebuzz getting slow in the springtime

    I have two very nice oaks in Allentown in a yard on the border of a green belt. One is a white oak and the other...maybe a red oak? (sorry from the west). Anyways, it is a side job that I had for the daughter of the secretary at my work. She had a small spruce to come down and a little red...

    RECREATIONAL TREE PRESERVATION

    what if a group of arborists got together with the owners of nice large trees in need of a little hazard reduction to 1. have nice trees to climb and 2. to make things a little safer for the treeowner and their guests. It's a win-win for everybody, and if everyone treads lightly, there will be...

    groundman

    At my job we all do a lot of groundwork and everybody climbs although some more than others. The result has been 3 people with back injuries and two with hernia operations. Out of a five man crew, I am so far the only one without a time loss injury. (knock on wood) I like to wrassle brush and...

    Arbor Day

    How come nobody has posted any events happening on arbor day? I'm sure there is something going on in every one of your towns. Is anybody volunteering at schools? Is anyone getting to prune large beautiful park trees? What's the word? It's less than two weeks away....

    THE TREE HOUSE

    Re: THE TREE HOUSE/Roger well then, that IS an interesting fact, that could only have been discovered by one who has either fallen one or climbed one. I hope to one day participate in the latter. Perhaps next trip home I could get the opportunity, although 250' sure seems like a long way down...

    THE TREE HOUSE

    Re: THE TREE HOUSE/Roger Hey nice pictures, looks like a fun project. Although I couldn't help but noticing that the needles in most of those pics look more like Sequoiadendron rather than Sequoia sempervirens. I could be wrong, but is that the case, and if so, what are some better indications...
