    Giant River Birch

    So here is a giant river birch in a small backyard in a city setting. Two large leads, co-dominant each with a significant lean, one towards the house. I believe there is a cable installed. Homeowner wants either the one lead towards the house removed or a full removal. My question is with a...

    Sweetgum Pruning

    Greetings all, Does anyone have any experience with pruning Sweetgums? I'm wondering about this species response to hard pruning... The tree in question is a large mature tree. The homeowner asked for about 40- 45% canopy reduction (mostly lower overhanging branches). Obviously I didn't...

    T540 Oil leak

    So my 540 just started leaking oil while riding around in the vehicle. While running the saw the oil is being pumped to the bar but it is also slowly leaking out the sides and bottom of the saw. I cleaned everything then realized that the Oil flow screw doesn't turn smoothly... feels kind of...

    Connecticut Tree Stand

    First glimpse I thought Hemlocks, especially around here and especially with a couple dead/dying, and some struggling. Upon closer inspection I thought maybe not Hemlock, the needles are longer. The ID I'm looking for are for the tall stand of trees. There are a couple BEAUTIFUL Hemlocks...

    Dying branch scent

    I often find myself driving around my little ol' Camry with branches in the back seat for several days before finding them a final resting place. I have noticed that soon after cutting and confining the leafed branches to such a small space a very green, chlorophyll-like scent, which is...

Looking at the photo on the article my first instinct was to...

    Preserving Fungus

    While in NYC I often find large (12-14") Ash branches having broken off an otherwise healthy looking tree. This latest one, in a rare Black Ash, I was able to inspect and the heartwood of the broken branch was thick with white rot. I work in a semi-educational setting and I wish to keep this...

    Jump cuts

    What is the best way to get the cut end of a tree to, as it lays flat, "jump forward off the stump with the most distance" while felling it? What would be the best way to get a vertical piece at height to jump away from the bole (and lay flat)? I'm guessing it may be the same method. I pose...

    Damage in Red Oak in CT, USA

    The bark has recently begun to peel away from this damage, I am trying to figure out what the cause is. It looks like mechanical damage to me... i am standing on a relatively new looking deck as I take these photos looking out into the backyard... maybe during construction the damage occurred...

    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.

    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

    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...

    Kernmaster wear

    Kernmaster 11mm. mostly DRT. 10-20 trees per day for six months. Amazed at how well the cover has held up, barely fuzzy on the working ends. I really like the qualities of the rope. However... Lately, occasionally when the rope is weighted and running through my hand I seem to feel "thin...

    dangerous critters to a home

    Up here in New England there is a nice old weeping cherry tree on a homeowners property... The base is very heavily burled and at this time the burls/base are extremely decayed, dried and have been eaten or excavated since there is a fair amount of wood dust at the base. I'm surprised the crown...

    Steel & Aluminum

    I think I have heard somewhere about not using steel and aluminum together, for instance, using aluminum carabiners on steel D-rings. Is this correct? Is this specified in the manufacturers instructions? Is this in the ANSI? Just looking for the good info. Thanks people!

    little help

    http://www.speakforthetreesoregon.org Some friends of mine that need a little support as they fight the good fight the hard way. Check out the video on the home page. I believe 'Awakenings' is the proper forum for this, please let me know if it's not (after watching the video). ~GP

    lightweights

    I don't weigh very much. I have been climbing on 11.7mm double braid with a zk1 (opened all the way up). It has worked well. I recently got some 11mm kernmaster and I find due to the increased stiffness of the rope that the system has too much friction (I can sit into the wrench with an open...
