    OK to remove BIG limb from pin oak?

    I don’t mean to sound harsh @Winchman. If anything it’s a “know your worth” kind of deal and to avoid being taken advantage of. I appreciate that you look for input here and I’ll always gladly put in my .02, which is probably not even worth that much.

    OK to remove BIG limb from pin oak?

    Removal of pine will also expose the oak while it’s been acclimated to its current condition for decades. More likely to see failure in my opinion with the new exposure, though maybe nominal on its own.

    OK to remove BIG limb from pin oak?

    Don’t remove the large limb and don’t remove the pine. The limb isn’t causing any leans or problems. Removal will just be a large wound that will probably never compartmentalize over and an entry for decay fungi. Rent a lift and do some smaller pruning cuts at the tips to reduce weight on the...

    Gas blowers banned in Ann Arbor Mi

    Your laws are a lot more lax than the ones we ended up with in a lot of towns on Long Island. No 4 year grace period, none that I’m aware of loopholes and an endless supply of Karen’s. But god forbid you increase costs to offset the new equipment purchases or extra time needed for clean ups.

    Yea same here to be honest. They’re super finicky here on Long Island, but I’m willing to give it a shot.

    Grafting

    Sweet! Ordered up some Apricot rootstock and waiting on the scions to be available from a place in the same state as me to ensure I have hardy varieties.

    Grafting

    I’ve always wanted to get more into grafting. I have dabbled with it with minimal success. I have read a lot of “The Grafters Notebook” and reference it often when my mind wanders. I just partially girdled a non productive espalier apple in my backyard to try out bridge grafting. And I’m...

    Habits for Longevity in Arboriculture & Life

    Big one for me was reasonable hours and Mon-fri. This will still vary, and depend on the work. But my day to day is Mon-fri and an 8-9hr day. Really cut down from 7 days and 12 hour days most of the year. Of course it helps to be employed year round and no longer have the anxiety of light to no...

    Nectria Canker

    Been running into a fair amount of presumed Nectria canker lately. I’m curious to see what some of you all have found as far as treatment goes if anything. My current recs are just soil care and cultural.
