    Customer service nightmare

    I'd drop a hundo to my attorney to send it, and make two in the same space of time. Core competencies.....Say it with me... Core Competencies.

    Customer service nightmare

    By the way, slander is an injurious falshood transmitted orally. Libel is an injurious falsehood transmitted any other way, so if someone leaves a false review with no facts to back it up, it’s libel. If you search online, you’ll find that businesses have successfully sued for libelous online...

    Pruning a Codominant Leader

    Bear in mind that none of the foliage or branches seen in the photos will remain on the tree for long. In the end, it will all be trunk. Clip things short for now to suppress them from getting leggy, but keep the foliage to provide photosynthates to fund vertical growth, and trunk taper...

    Customer service nightmare

    At this point, you’ve been letting him dictate the narrative, and as long as he feels like he’s in the drivers seat of the conversation he’s not going to let you go. It’s time to get your attorney to draft a short and sweet letter to the effect that you did not do the work in question, have...

    Lost one of my favorite trees tonight

    Literally, an “Edge Tree”. Looks like unmitigated wind loads on the back, and on the front, well that first step is a doozy!

    A malfunctioning diaphram is serious business Tom. You could get pregnant. That aside, best wishes for an expedient surgery and a quick and complete recovery!

    Electrocution in Minnesota

    I was presenting a review of Z133 for my work team this past week, and noted that the Arboricultural Safety Standard was put into place after a worker for a private tree care company was electrocuted on a residential job. The worker’s mother initiated a letter writing campaign, which resulted...

    Climber killed by bees

    Nor do I wish to digress. I think that one of the best ways to avoid negative interactions with potentially dangerous organisms, is to try to understand their modus operandi and how they respond to various stimuli. I wouldn’t presume to tell the family of the victim anything other than of my...

    Climber killed by bees

    It's not how aggressive they are. Bees are never aggressive. Their defensive nature can be misinterpreted as aggression, when in reality, they have misidentified an unwitting intruder as a threat. Whether the bees are of European or Africanized descent, they will both keep a specific...

    Tree Trimmer Found Guilty of Murder

    I worked in Oroville yesterday. I made this a tailboard topic with my team last week under the aegis of situational awareness.

    The "right" way to prune

    That, and we still don’t have a wayback machine to go back and swap out a shade tree for a species with a smaller growth habit. I get called to prune 100x more than I get called to plant.

    He misidentified a tree once, just to see how it felt.

    The "right" way to prune

    After you've read Gilman's book, go to the local brush yard and get some limb ends. Take a post hole digger and set them in the ground, and then prune them with a handsaw. Gilman did the same thing with his hurricane machine to see what wind loads do to trees pruned to different...

    The "right" way to prune

    Think and consider 4 times before you make a cut on anything living and consider the impact to the tree of the loss of that portion of foliage and structure. If you're going to thin, start from the outside to reduce loading and the resulting bending moment. Interior foliage place a very...

    Any effective treatments for EAB in a very large, 'somewhat' healthy PA green ash?

    Unfortunately plant health care is about 99% more effective when applied to prevention as opposed to cure, but trying to convince plant owners to invest in care to keep their plants from becoming diseased is one of the toughest sells in this industry. We tend to be called when the Titanic is...
