    tipping trees

    Back when I ran my own tree company. I ran across a few trees that had been blown over a bit after a heavy rain had supersaturated the root area. My solution to this was to guy the tree, re-saturate the root area, and use the guys to straighten the tree back up, leaving the guys until the...

    more cool stuff from google

    I needed to figure out the conversion from yards to meters so I typed "yards to meters" into the google tool bar hoping to find a web page with a conversion calc on it. Lo and behold google gave me the answer before they gave me the list of web pages. If everyone already knew this and I am...

    books

    I know someone just started a thread on tree books but how about non tree books? (Yes they make those) I used to be a pretty die hard Bernard Cornwell fan, his king arthur trilogy is the best series I have ever read and he does the Sharpe series as some of you may have seen on TV. I heard a...

    A local consulting arborist in our area has come up with the idea to test the structural stability of trees. As far as I have heard, he sets a line in the tree and uses a come-along to pull the tree sideways. I suppose if the tree does not fail up to a predetermined potential max wind load...

    removal pics

    Just found these photos from a while back and thought I would post them. I pruned this oak the year before. Let the client know that there was some serious decay and that the tree posed a threat to the house, but they wanted to keep it. 1 year later, got a call to come cut it off the house...

    interesting offer?

    Okay, We are always talking about forces and numbers but we are lacking in real world information. I no longer do tree work so my opportunities are limited. Here is an opportunity to get some of these numbers on paper. My partner and I are offering our company's 2 dynamometers for loan in...
