    Here is a closeup of the trunk. The house is over my back left shoulder. The lake is directly in front of me ( I am facing the lake while taking the picture. ).

    This is a picture of the target area if we got a wind event off the lake which is to the left of the picture. You can see the maple in question off to the left.

    Live structural tree failure study.

    we have gotten straight line wind events that can take down mature 24" oaks by the root. A client asked me to assess this maple. I am curious how some of you might rate this tree.

    Uptake for trunk injections his year.

    Active ingredient insole-3-butyric acid. Hmm as I actually type that name I can only imagine what an acid trip that must be for a tree to lose its fruit. Acid was not a drug of my choice and if that is what it does for sex that would explain a lot of things. Lol.

    Live structural tree failure study.

    Apparently it was not a root zone failure. Sounds like it was a trunk failure at 6" above grade. It failed April 2nd during high winds and some snow we got. No snow load , or very minor if any. We had a hard northwest wind which makes sense. Prior to that storm we had several other high wind...

    Quercus Alba

    Yes, consider your position in the company and don't step outside that. The one handed saw issue is the absolute worst to start in on. I think the rule is a should which leaves it open to the saw operator. I am a company owner and if you have been one handing for 10 15 and 30 years with no cuts...
