    Poor Planning

    I saw this on the news this evening. Tree Removals Its sad to hear that all street trees in the downtown area, I think it was 12 blocks, has to be removed. I understand having to fix planning problems from the past, but to plant trees in the same areas creating the same problem the next...

    help w DED

    There is a chance to save the uninfected trees, and possibly the slightly infected tree. You can prune out the flaging branches and check for streaking in the sapwood. If the streaking has stopped before reaching a major branch or stem there is a chance to save the tree, along with a fungicide...

    That would be fun to watch! There is an eagles nest right off the highway I take to work, it is a highlight of my day to see the eagles working and sitting in their nest twice a day.

    Pests vs Fert

    If you were treating a tree for pest management (mites, leaf miners, or whatever) would you recommend fertilizing the tree too? If the tree is stressed from insect damage, some fert could give it a needed boost. Or would you think... Fertilizing the tree would give it lush green foliage which...

    ISA Municipal Arborist Exam

Before I took the exam I was told that the study guide was not real helpful, so I didn't spend a whole lot of time laboring over the study guide. Ifocused my time on the prep questions at the end of...

    Price Gouging. Where to draw the line?

    [/ QUOTE ] How can you on a small scale out bid a larger company? If you account for everything - insurance, labor, vehicles, advertising, repairs, etc... you cannot do it. Where you can make it happen is by fudging those factors. Working as an owner operator and not making an owners salary but...
