    Beech bark disease?

    I deadwooded a f Grandifolia (murican beech) yesterday and was surprised by the amount of deadwood (picture of quantity below). There were many (15) tips in the upper canopy where bark was missing and dieback occurred. A few 4” leaders were dead as well. I took out part of a living lead as it...

    Suspended by a thread

    I’m sick of the military surplus suspenders on my Treemotion (actually been sick of them since installation). Upgrade needed! Probably going with Monkey Beaver but wanted to know what you guys like. I have a biner and throw bag positioned like a grenade and I also hook my SAKA bungee end to...

    334T Husky

    I picked one up at a local tool consignment shop for $175 a couple days ago. Looks like it was used once and put on a shelf. Ran it on one job so far and I like it. Has anyone done a muffler mod on one of these?

    What’s this ?

    I see these planted in a variety of landscapes. Very unique looking.

    ID apps

    What apps do you like for tree/plant ID? Plantin advertises that can ID a tree from 10’ of trunk which I find hard to believe but it may be true.

    395XP no more

    A friend at a local dealer said Husky is currently (and permanently) no longer manufacturing the 395 series. I knew it was coming but it still sucks. A shame.

    A botanist’s home

    A friend purchased a new home and the previous owner is a botanist. This specimen caught my eye. Any ideas? Most of the plantings are small exotic bushes and flowers. There are also 2 pear trees (maybe Bradford but look like a slightly different variety) which I’m hoping the botanist did NOT plant!

    Please help. I don’t recognize this one

    These 2 were planted purposefully less than 30 years ago in Maryland. Both have a swollen trunk flare (possible characteristic of species?) One is in decline.

    Falling out of your saddle

    In my short climbing career, I’ve never heard of anyone spilling out of their saddle. It makes me wonder if it is a reasonable possibility? I’ve been upside down once during a short swing back towards a trunk. It didn’t take but a few seconds to become upright again. It never felt like I wasn’t...

    Beech tree health?

    My personal backyard wooded area beech (Fagus Grandifolia) is sparsely populated with beech nuts at this time. A couple others around it are densely packed. It is mature and approximately 4’ dia. and 120’ H. The other ones with more nuts I’ve observed are considerably smaller. We don’t have...

    Jed Walters passing

    Some of you may know of Jed from the Guilty of Treeson videos on YouTube. He’s affectionately referred to as “Inbred Jed” I found out this morning that he was killed felling a big leaf maple and a limb broke out. This is all the info I can gather at this point. One of his coworkers and...

    What’s this?!

    I saw this fungus in a mature red oak I was inspecting. I believe it’s coral spot nectria canker. Located in Maryland. It’s only in several locations and they are all dead branches. These branches are in areas which don’t receive as much light so I’m not sure if the fungus killed the branch...

    Leaners

    I heard on a Facebook page that when falling a heavy head leaner: -Face cut as deep as possible -Make your back cut directly level with the bottom of your conventional fave cut This is supposed to prevent chairing. What do you say? I bore cut and sometimes wrap a chain for belt and...

    Wind resistant trimming

    What are/ is the acceptable method of trimming to thin out a conifer species for wind resistance? A neighbor said the has a line of spruce trees that could kill the house and other targets. A terrible storm recently broke a 40’ top out of one of them and now he wants to do some type of...

    Chaps or chainsaw pants?

    It seems like most folks prefer the pants in lieu of the chaps. I understand the benefits of always having your protection and not “forgetting” to properly suit up. I enjoy the chaps because I can take them off. I don’t climb with chaps but always use them on the ground. I love being able to...

    What to do ?

    I often come across this situation. Should the smaller 2 specimens be removed due to competition and possible strangulation?

    Helicopter removal

    Hopefully the link will work. It was amazing to see a black hawk being used in lieu of a crane. Kowhai Treecare is the channel name on YouTube. It’s their latest video.

    Night climb

    I did a little 30’ rope walk followed by 30’ limb climb, lanyard in and sit before descent kinda climb by the pale moonlight last night. No flashlight or anything. It was a lot of fun and maybe a little more of a challenge. Rope was already set during the day of course. Can’t work a bag at 70’...
