How exactly do you train you saplings to become resistant to global warming challenge open-grown trees around cities. How do you define open grown once in a city. If you’re doing this root zone consideration must...

    Curious to know what preparation do I need so my trees will flourish this Spring

    Check out the soil, girdling roots, aeration, weeding, mulching, structure pruning.... there’s 1 million things to check and these items listed won’t give you an educated knowledge. So still contact a competent arborist

    Cabling for failure rather than prevention?

    What have seen this on special occasions. It was shown in the Sherrill magazine for years right between the static steel cable and the dynamic cobra cable it was called TreeSaver (I think) I’ve done this twice both with signed letters informing ricks, issues etc. But not with tree saver. 1 was...

    balance points for basic rigging

    I get the point here but, if this limb is tip tied, it would be on the tree at lets say the 3:00 position as grown. Then once cut the but would have to swing ccw from 9:00 to 12:00 and back. The physics behind that are astronomical! Not to forget once tip tied and cut the butt(heavy) would...

    balance points for basic rigging

    Can you post a link to show an example? ‘Simple Rigging’ IMO —>The most straightforward rigging plan (usually) with the least amount of set up and gear required to achieve a safe scope of rigging work needed. That being said, I’ve tip tied pieces to flop into other more awkward rigging points...

    Floating Rigging Point?

    This works to but then you need to run 2 portis Another option is to snub off one end run the line across to a block or ring to a tree on the other side and down to a porti. Then one sling to tip tie and attach midline, cut it off and the weight should pull the centre down in the middle. Can...

    Multi-Stemmed Red Maples ... Safe to prune smaller stem?

    Floating Rigging Point?

    One thing to watch with a rigging skyhook setup in a row of pines is they’re often very straight rows so more or less tip tie to rope crane things out very smooth and great but make sure you can get that top off to the side of you so they don’t have to lower it through you that sucks.

    3:1 bend ratio acceptable?

    For years I’ve done hundreds of trees and for branches tops etc that a guy with gloves or half a wrap can hold I carry a 1” loop sling and a steel biner and a 1/2” rigging line. I’m well below my swl and my bend ratio was 1:1 it was smooth, consistent from a worker point of view it was out of...

    'SWL/WLL'.....am starting to think this isn't a proper approach to rigging-lines (v. "where's the bounce?" :) )

    Have to watch thick cover doesn’t milk too much and it can make feeling cores harder
