Howdy folks. Not sure which tree I'm looking at here but it sure as Hell is not the Chinese elm that it is listed under in the spreadsheet I just looked at.
I'm sure this has come up before but I'm not gonna search for it...let me live.
Is there a replacement for the Zubat pole other than ordering each individual part? Thought Notch had one but not having any luck and Sherrill/Treestuff just sent me the blown up diagram with all the part numbers...
I can enter messages here on my laptop but there is no longer a box for me to type anything in on the my phone. I can upload pics and whatnot (I think...) but no text. This is a PIA as I hate this damn computer on my lap.
Is this on my end/phone issue or what's the deal?
It's a Galaxy S9...

Here's a spot to post stuff and nerd-out for a minute. Folks seem to post similar articles here and there so perhaps this will help keep the topics in one spot.

Thought I'd start a thread for us to post crud you find out and about just to share or to have identified.
Oyster mushrooms I believe, Pleurotus osteatus.
Here's a new for those just starting out. Post picks and videos of intro basics such as notches, back cuts, removal vs reduction cut, structural pruning, raising, etc. Keep it simple folks.
I dont have time...anyone recognize these?
One is fresher than the other. Near a big pin oak with root damage from trenching and a major section of trunk decay from a major branch removal above it.
I remember an old professor talking about trees at Monticello and Mt Vernon that were being cloned so that they may one day be available commercially.
Are any of you aware of these or perhaps any other cultivars with unique or cool histories?
Could just be burls but two big locusts here have these huge masses and some of them are oozing.
Seen this?
Herbicide exposure has been heavy over the years. Both from lawncare equipment applications but also near base of the tree (rather than a mulch bed around it). Both have been over lifted...
Here's a link to Camp Canopy for kids:

Here's some info on Chapter scholarships available with deadlines and whatnot. Never hurts to fill some out, paid a lot of college expenses with scholarships cuz most folks don't even try to apply for them. Worth a shot...
For any of you in the area...
If you're near Reynoldsburg and have chips to drop, the city (and myself) would GREATLY appreciate you doing so at one of our parks of public green spaces to be used for mulch.
Trying to get the city back on TC USA and starting an urban forestry program. Also...
9-10' Diameter sycamore near a creek. 100' + tall and 125' + wide.
My gold coffee mug is on a root flare for scale.
You can see it has been spray painted and kids nail boards in it to climb up a bit.
Here's the view from the creek. You can see how high the water can get here. More paint...
