I buy mine from a local company, that buys them from s and s activeware. If I didnt have to where the hi vis yellow at work I would buy a different color because its damn near impossible for me to keep them looking decent for any amount of time. So if you can get away with a different color I...
I think someone suggested them on here awhile back but I really like the badger tech t's, I have a bunch of the safety yellow ones, long and short sleeve. I thought they were a pretty good deal price-wise. They are a bit on the light side so I usually where a merino wool, or poly pro shirt...
Granted Im a bit north of you, but we started planting Carpinus caroliniana, and betulus a few years ago in our parkways. So far they have performed very well. We have a few that were planted by residents probably 30 years ago or so that are really good looking trees, one of them gets abused...

Not to derail too much, but If you have planted any larger then 1.5" caliper bare root stock, how has your success been. I have been thinking about this as a cost reducing option for some street trees. I want to say Cornell did a good bit of research with a town in New York where they planted a...
As the only arborist in a city street department It is a daily battle to get proper tree care practices accepted at times. Add in residents that think a lions tailed tree is what they are supposed to look like it just makes matters worse at times. I will say though, the last time we pruned this...
Its coming down first thing in the am, ill be doing it in the bucket. I threw it out there because I was second guessing a bit, I kinda have to be part salesmen with the supervisor when making recommendations so its nice to have an informed opinion.
