    Disposable Gloves

    I guess my question after reading all of this would be what affordable and disposable gloves would provide the most chemical resistance when working with pesticides like treating for EAB etc ??? Are there gloves that are specifically made for pesticides that are superior to the gloves like the...

    Disposable Gloves

    What kind of disposable gloves is everybody using? I picked these up at Costco and I’m wondering if they are sufficient? I usually get the grease monkey gloves from the auto store.

    Pulling leaning trees back over

    Sounds like Indian Lake got the worst of it for sure! We were in the basement when they were saying it was coming directly for us, but it missed us by about a half a mile.

    Pulling leaning trees back over

    Saturated clay soil and evergreens do not seem to go well together! Driving around the neighborhood where these trees are, this client was really lucky. There were trees down everywhere piled over like matchsticks. Some trees speared into two-story roofs. I would prefer to just try to crank on...

    Pulling leaning trees back over

    I think it will be necessary. Not really sure yet. The client is out of town so we will discuss options when he gets back.

    Pulling leaning trees back over

    How would you go about pulling these two back over to straighten them? We had a tornado rip through the area. There’s a big pin oak I could anchor too. I thought about seeing if I could just crank it over with a come along, but I don’t know if that will be enough. I could put a pulley on the...

    Squirrel Debarker

    Should be able to recover. Most of it was not deep enough to do any serious damage.

    I want to experiment with these junior Giants. Similarly there’s a dwarf river birch called Little King that would be so much more suitable when people plant them on the corner of the house. I saw a mature one in Tiffin, Ohio and it was perfect. Guess I’m getting off-topic…..

    Thuja plicata? I see the nurseries are starting to carry the straight species alongside the green giants. They are my favorite evergreen screening tree to plant now that the spruce have become questionable. But yes the deer love to destroy them with their antlers! That and they really enjoy...

    They are native to Ohio as well as eastern hemlock. But neither are found naturally in my area. pH is too high for hemlocks here, although they tolerate it and usually look scraggly. And you’re right, the deer would munch the northern white cedar into lollipops. I plant them quite a bit in...

    Pretty much the only evergreen option would be eastern red cedar if that were the case.

    Tree appraisal help

    Last I knew the son from Wade & Gatton is still planting. He planted some massive Norway spruce at a condo complex that is a client a couple years ago. Things may have changed since then?

    Tree appraisal help

    The client told the landscaper to cut the trees down, and he did not specify where the property boundaries were. It’s a weird triangle shaped property line and the client is taking all the responsibility.

    Tree appraisal help

    Those are stump diameters. I don’t think I have a conversion chart to DBH. Does anyone have the trunk formula that could be shared and is easy to understand? I remember learning it when I took the municipal exam I think but this is not something I practice. The trees were in the right away on a...

    Cobra cable hub and spoke arrangement kosher?

    I think drilling the small holes that’s required to install a steel system is much less damage compared to the inevitable girdling of a dynamic system. I was under the impression when cobra and other dynamic options first came out that the growth loops were there to grow with the tree as the...

    I just looked at a property where the landscaper cut down six fir trees that were on the neighbors property. The fir trees were in rough shape, but they were alive. Diameters 20” 27” 21” 13” 27” 11” 24” Anyone have advice on what method/formula would be best to use to come up with an...

    That Milwaukee blower definitely has more power than the 18 V Makita blower!
