    Paclo Observation

    No. Just smaller and darker green. Strange that sometimes it seems to help with iron chlorosis and other times I don’t notice any difference in leaf color. For this tree, it helped.

    Paclo Observation

    Same tree pics taken today. Still holding green leaves. Two river birch in the neighboring property almost completely bare. Just interesting noting what paclo actually does. Re-applied paclo last spring 2024 (three years after the first application)

    Growth regulator pricing

    An ex big box green manager told me they charged $15-$25 / DBH Inch I have generally been much cheaper unless it’s an individual tree and I have to make the trip worth while. But I do need to start raising my prices significantly! If I’m doing multiple other services on the same property like...

    Boots and boot care?

    I bought a pair of Lowa Camino boots and have been super impressed with them. I was worried they would be too bulky for climbing/pruning but they work great and are comfortable. I think I’ve been wearing boots without proper support for too many decades after spending a few months in these. I...

    Fire damaged trees-advice

    No, I haven’t been out to the site yet. I can’t see the barn from the Google Street view either. I’m assuming oaks, maples, and possibly white pine.

    Fire damaged trees-advice

    At the end of this week, I’ll be going out to do an evaluation of trees that sustained fire damage from a barn fire. Evidently the insurance company requires a written report from an ISA certified arborist before they will move forward with any insurance policies. I’m just looking for advice...

    Root barrier for sidewalks/street trees

    They didn’t involve me with the decision to remove the trees. I did mention just leveling the panels but no go. They are removing the trees that have heaved up the panels 2 inches and up.

    Root barrier for sidewalks/street trees

    Continuous 7 foot wide. In the picture attached, you can see what the red maples have done to the sidewalk. I’m not sure what cultivar of red maple they are, I think red sunset? But this is worst red maple cultivar for sure. Even autumn blaze, which is grafted onto silver maple root stock...

    Root barrier for sidewalks/street trees

    Looks like biobarrier claims it lasts for 15 years and does not impact tree health. https://www.landscapediscount.com/biobarrier-BIO24x100-p/213016.htm

    Root barrier for sidewalks/street trees

    I bet this fabric is less expensive than the panels and much easier to install, but I wonder if there’s negative impacts on the health of the trees? And how long the herbicide would remain active?

    Root barrier for sidewalks/street trees

    I’m working as a consultant for a city and they are removing red maples that have horrible dysfunctional roots and were buried too deep. They are heaving up the sidewalks. They’re not cracking the sidewalks, but they’re heaving up the panels where the expansion cuts are made. It’s a 7 foot tree...

    Root barrier for sidewalks/street trees

    Anyone have experience installing root barrier panels along sidewalks to help prevent damage from street trees? If so what product did you use and what are your thoughts? Seems like there could be less expensive options out there that may not be specifically for this application but functions...

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    I could never get the ear muffs on the kask plasma to get a good seal. I tried several different ear muff brands, including kask. Not good when at that time was running an 18 inch chipper everyday.

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    Ha! Used to do that in wrestling practice. I wouldn’t even attempt it these days.

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    Thats a good idea!

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    I have all three of those helmets and with the ear muffs and visor, the Strato is the lightest. I’ll have to double check that though.
