Oaks and Sycamores are the only species up here that get this big now (or that you could find this big). This appears to be a Black Oak. I’m going to grab some acorns and see what I can grow from them. Have fun in that alba and grab some photos!

For sure! I'll try to get the grand kids up it too.

Maple prune ( homeowner cleanup).
Phase 1 of a new fairy garden and homes with a river and waterfalls across 3 logs, over the inset house space in our front yard.
My daughter is almost 10. She did some detail work with my GTA 26 Stihl pistol chainsaw (4" bar).

I hope the logs from that tulip tree find their way to a sawmill.

Some soulless vista “pruning” with a pretty rough drag followed by pruning some Douglas Firs back from the house and a garden. Excellent views of the Long Island sound, throgs neck bridge and Manhattan.
This was the drag just to get to the backyard border. After was a long drag to the chipper.
The Douglas Fire were the funnest prune I’ve had in awhile. Something about tipping back firs while climbing and watching those cuts drop is satisfying.

Can’t tell you how many time I traversed that bridge. Looks like it could be an annual pollard job. The trees might actually be happier that way.

Yeah they’d definitely benefit an annual or biannual pollarding. Although I’m not sure I want to be the one to do it. It’s a crazy estate but the owners clearly had not done much maintenance to any of the trees or shrubs for a very long time. We have 4 days of work at this place. Kind of sad to not be the first person to prune a few largish oaks on the property tomorrow but a chemical treatment trial I’m involved in has me elsewhere for the day.

Finally got the video my neighbor took of the oak tree falling.
I made several pulls. Each time, I'd stop until the tree settled down, then ease forward till the line went slack, then pull again.

A bit more soul in todays sampling of Beech trees for Beech Leaf Disease. I was on the ground for this project inventorying and managing the sampling.
