    Spider lifts… I know

    Spider lifts… I know

    Thanks, appreciate your views. I just ordered a 92 footer. Be here (dealer) from Italy in late July. Plenty of time to kill production before winter hits. I am just constantly looking around at trees that will be so much easier with this thing, pruning huge pin oaks included. Wish I had it...

    Spider lifts… I know

    I am on the verge of buying one also. Wondered what the considerations from you or any others are as to differences between the 83hd Arbor pro and the 92'? Are there more considerations such as maneuvering or side hill/uphill/downhill movements. I bet they are a devil to upright once tipped...

    Looks like Dutch Elm Disease?

    Thanks Reach.

    Looks like Dutch Elm Disease?

    ^ One direction to explore. Either way likely a death warrant. But the exploration would warrant culturing and protecting of other valued trees asap. If Ash yellows was more thoroughly explored rather than just being assumed then EAB would not have gotten so fatally entrenched prior to being...

    Looks like Dutch Elm Disease?

    Kevin, I disagree that elm flagging is not diagnostic. A diagnostic process is the sum of all the parts prior to lab verification. Elms flagging yellow under normal growing conditions usually in late June here and nearby A. elms apparently diseased and dead and dying and galleries and wilting...

    Looks like Dutch Elm Disease?

    Good to see you to Oldoakman. I had cancer at the beginning of the year, had the prostate removed, been free for a number of checkups. Hope all is well with you and family.

    Tough decisions

    No but I have put many less artful supports in for that type of requirement.

    Looks like Dutch Elm Disease?

    B Bacterial wetwood (slime flux) in this pict. Nothing apparent to indicate DED in your pictures. Elms will flag in june or turn yellow like you mentioned in portions of the canopy or entire canopy as a symptom often. I think the only way to get a foolproof diagnosis tho is in a laboratory.

    Tough decisions

    I really like your thoughtful last sentence. I am surprised no one called the tree out on a less than optimum cut at the point of infection (which appears to be saprophitic ?). About 10 years ago I was called to this residence with this (at the cut) giant limb laying on the roof. There was a...

    Tough decisions

    Kevin, that's what I thought but can wait until it fruits in spring to summer to id it as I doubt it can be cultured for an id in this condition can it? This is early stage of infection as I looked at this tree a year ago and nothing. Everything about this tree appears as it should...except...

    Tough decisions

    Saw this fungus on a client's property last summer and from a distance I thought they had a property light installed. Some are interesting and not really hurting anything and at times symbiotic.

    Tough decisions

    They have 3 key trees in their scenic woodsy back yard...that one, this one on the deck (80' Red maple the deck was built around) and a giant compromised White ash that has seen the battle with EAB which is not gone but has subsided. Do I tell them all 3 of these trees are high risk trees in a...

    Tough decisions

    Whatever this double grapefruit size degraded basal infection on the bottom of this Pin oak I just looked at is, one thing can be fairly certain...it won't likely let this tree off easy in future years. It is difficult to prescribe needed pruning and a support system (cable) when this tree...

    Hey Look at My Crud...

    Pine sawfly larvae are creepy in that they extend in unison as well. Also creepy in that you almost have to be trained to look for them as they are so well camouflaged in color ...but given away by the movement while feeding.
