    Hollow veteran Linden (400yr+) - recommendations?

    I was along the same lines but I’d look at needed pruning, weight reduction, etc If needed before supporting and then loosen her belt off. As for the pressure I’d bast that tensioner bolt with penetrating oil for a week before I wanted to bring out a wrench. If it unthreaded that would be safer...

    Starting out

    I started into trees in 2005 and have done a pretty good mix of types of tree work. I’ve worked for 3 different companies over my time as an arb but last week the boss talked to me and let me know that things are shutting down. I’ve got a few jobs lined up and a couple clients that want to...

    A write up I did about tree health and fertilization
