    Curious Tree

    That does look like it. This specimen is supposedly over 50 years old, it looks that well established too, with a solid trunk especially compared to the bushes most of these seem to be. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the blossoms that change color. I saw it with my own eyes over the...

    Thank you! I will revisit it soon with an eye to that.

    Serius Rope Outer Sheath Failure

    That's 2.5 wraps in my book. With such a big piece I might use that or even three depending on the wood, but again, that's with a bigger rope. I stand by my previous post but nonetheless encourage you to inspect the porty thoroughly for burrs (or nails in the stem?). No doubt you have already...

    Curious Tree

    Found in New York City this summer. Those flowers start out yellow then turn pink. I have never seen anything like it and would love any info.

    Serius Rope Outer Sheath Failure

    To me, that sounds like a big piece for a 1/2". Following the numbers and please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the WLL for rigging 15%, as opposed to the 10% for climbing. This means the WLL for the rope was 1185. You claim the piece was probably around 1325. Then of course it's dynamic...

    Husky 550 vs. Stihl 261?

    Great Info, I really appreciate it. I think the husky 562 and stihl 362 might still have a bit more weight than I was hoping to find, I was looking to shed about one or two more pounds so I may have to give this 261 c-mq a spin... i like that auto lock too. As for the ladybug, I just wanted to...

    Husky 550 vs. Stihl 261?

    I'm looking for a saw, on the lighter side, to bring aloft that can pull 20" nicely. My 372 is just a bit too much for me if I forget to eat my spinach. Thoughts or other suggestions? Thanks! ~GP

    Constant problems with 372

    I have to remember to never let my 372 run out of fuel, if I do it's whole lotta pulling to get started again. Just my experience.

    Change of Heart

    Thanks guys! I was hoping someone might have some info about big bracing, and that photo is wild, and makes quite an impression, what a great tree! The tree is actually in the family (neighbor has notified of the hazard) and I just got back from climbing it (for fun). Unfortunately it wasn't...

    Change of Heart

    I used to look at cables and braces with derision. "Just let the tree do what it will, if it is dangerous, remove it and use the opportunity to plant a new one!" The un-natural look of it, the attempt to control nature, the beauty of the tree being messed with... I have recently found an Ash...

    Disinfecting Saws...

    Nick I'm on board. And I agree that the word "most" implies that up to 49% of trees MAY be infected by a disease that is transmitted by pruning tools (and yes, that's just the ones we know of). At the same time I try to think about all the trees I have pruned, or better yet, someone else who...

    Chase the cut or go higher/lower with new face

    Awesome, thanks for sharing. I always enjoy learning from other people's mistakes much more than my own! :coffe:

    Chase the cut or go higher/lower with new face

    Looks to me like your notch wasn't level? I'm not sure if that is what you guys meant by "off to the left" but it appears that the notch was horizontally tilted to the left, towards the direction it landed.

    Experimental Pruning

    I have a fair amount of faith that the effort the tree will be expending this year and in future years after hard prunes to leaf out will cause a slowing in root growth and may achieve the goal of saving the wall. Kudos for trying. I do like the idea of root pruning and wonder how many arbos...

    Binoculars

    Yup, use them all the time with regards to looking for tree pest id. I find 10x is best for that application, I imagine 7x is fine for what you are using them for and Bushnell's are great. Auto focus uses batteries I think? I prefer manual but if you roll like that, good on you!

    Disinfecting Saws...

    I have often wondered about this topic and on occasion I give my blades an alcohol bath, but when I read this in Gilman's pg. 118 I felt a lot of relief... "Most trees that are pruned are not infected with a disease that is transmitted by pruning tools, so disinfection is not recommended." It...

    helicopter removal

    So dope! May I ask what powerhead you were using and what length blade? I am still trying to find my perfect weight to power ratio, and that looked really nice, or maybe it was just your skills that made it look so?

    That dang 2" limb

    That's the way I start every climb. There is another way? o_O
