    Bamboo Management

    Just bought a house and we have a hedge of bamboo. As much as I’d like to kill it I think I’ll try managing it as it is good privacy. Aside from digging up the rhizomes has anyone found an herbicide that works well but not so systemic that it will kill the whole grove? I was thinking Cheeta pro...

    Who dis?

    Wandering through Brooklyn seeing a man about some Paw Paw’s I came across this pretty damn nice oak tree in a park. I’m thinking Turkey Oak, Quercus cerris. What do you all think?

    Business Model for Single Operator (PHC Heavy)

    curious if anyone has a business model I have had on my mind for some time. I like the company I work for A LOT, especially having the colleagues I do.

    Grafting

    I’ve always wanted to get more into grafting. I have dabbled with it with minimal success. I have read a lot of “The Grafters Notebook” and reference it often when my mind wanders. I just partially girdled a non productive espalier apple in my backyard to try out bridge grafting. And I’m...

    Been running into a fair amount of presumed Nectria canker lately. I’m curious to see what some of you all have found as far as treatment goes if anything. My current recs are just soil care and cultural.

    Hose replacement

    Anyone have any better ways of replacing hoses? Mainly just unraveling the hose from how they came delivered. I was thinking about building a spool with a bucket.

    Hand saw for ornamental pruning

    What’s everyone’s preference for ornamental pruning? I have the Silky arborist but it’s a little too wide in a lot of scenarios. I’m liking how the silky Tsurugi looks

    Stump Grinder Trailer Set Ups

    I’ve been talking about an idea at work for a little while now and would like to present some images to compile the idea; if any are available. We have a Rayco RG100 with the trailer designed for it. The issue is guards getting trashed being thrown in and out of trucks, and the inefficiency of...

    Arb pro neo vs clip n step vs evo2

    About to grab some new boot goofin. Have a choice between these three. Really curious about the neos but I know the other two are tried and true. What say you buzzers? Mostly pruning, but would be used on ground as well. I do have a second set to avoid using them when I am doing only ground work...

    Help me understand why one would use cobra cables.

    I see some people seem to swear by them, and others go as far as to write off traditional cables that require drilling through the stem. I get the invasive aspect of a drilled cable, but realistically that’s a minor wound; and if the tree warrants a cable the benefits out weight the minor...

    Macro vs micro injections for EAB

    Looking to see if anyone has any links to a study or noticed themselves the difference between a micro vs macro injection of mectinite for EAB in particular. All my EAB applications have been with the micro jet air and it’s great because it’s quick and compact. I’ve done mectinite applications...

    Back cut first

    I’ve seen a few guys (insta hero’s) put in their back cuts, wedge it and then face cut last. Is there any practicality to this?

    What do you guys think?

    I have a small collection of bonsai in training. One of which is a Kousa dogwood from what was a 8’ tree that is having issues. The burned tips and the shoots that were hardening off have gone limp and wilting. I’m kind of stumped on what it is. I have two possible culprits that match up time...
