    Stan's weird tree finds

    No hairs on the twigs ... just lenticels ... This is a planted street tree, non-native in the area.

    Stan's weird tree finds

    TONS of Horse Chestnuts around here. I can't differentiate the sativa from dentata. I haven't spent enough time looking at chestnuts, clearly.

    Stan's weird tree finds

    I really deeply wish it was a chinese chinkapin (Castaneda Henryi) I’m interested to see if anyone offers up any alternative IDs, otherwise I’ll check it out when I get home later

    Stan's weird tree finds

    I come across new to me trees often and have a lot of fun ID'ing them. I'll post the ones I find here once in a while. Maybe I'll get the ID right, maybe some of you will correct me. I'm in Vancouver, BC. The trees I'm finding are atypical here, and consequently to me. They might be native to...

    I've become obsessed with rigging rings, are they not the best thing since sliced bread?

    yo this dude is measuring out his chunks (2:10). Does anyone know what that's about? is he rigging sections for milling down the road or is it purely to know the anticipated weights?

    Spiral pruning?

    Also (typing on a phone, not inclined to type essays) if you think of the tree as one large polygon, it’s surface area is equivalent to the outside 2D area of the shape. Once you start thinning it out and opening up gaps in the canopy, you suddenly add lots of internal surface area where the...

    Spiral pruning?

    It’s a very common thing in the PNW ... people think spiral pruning larger conifers makes them better able to handle wind loads Based on the research I’ve seen, it’s been totally disproven. It messes with the internal dampening that the tree has built in, where individual branches hit other...

    Life at Bartlett, employee perspectives

    I've worked there and I've worked with a number of ex-Bartlett employees in other companies. From my experience, they're usually above the local standard for arboricultural knowledge. I think the opportunity to learn and advance is quite limited unless they're short on climbers. Good variety of...
