Ohio Woodland Job Corps. March 1st application. Start date June 21st. End December 17th. Training in all areas to tree care and forestry. Will get ODA pesticide lisence plus lots more. I think it's S/E ohio though. You could just live there and come back a pro.

Another vote for removal.

I'm not sure if this has been said, but that wasp is VERY difficult to control. BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HORNED OAK GALL WASP ON PIN OAK by Eilason and Potter published March 2001 in the Journal of Arboriculture is a good reference. Your looks like it might be gouty gall, but same...

You might want to consider an old whisper chipper. They go for around 3-5K. That might be too pricey, but a chipper rental is not too cheap either.

I know what the mechanics say about fuel shelf life, but I'm using fuel from early December right now that sat outside and it's just fine. These small engines are not that picky. I've found that a chainsaw will last many, many years with almost no concern toward maintenance. Old fuel...

Call local tree services and let them know you want to pick up wood from the job site. Chances are they'll be glad to let you have it for free. A little here and a little there and it'll add up. My rule is anyone who wants wood has to pick it up before were done with the job, so as to avoid a...

Unfortunately, Cottonwood is pretty far down the list of desirable wood. 100 tears ago, when most boxes were wood, it was used widely as a material for that. I guess if when you figure how heavy all the stuff you put in the box might be, it makes sense to use a light weight wood for the box...

Good job!:cheers:

I removed two branches on a sugar maple yesterday that were alive and vigorous and there was absolutely no living connective tissue to the trunk. It defies all that I know concerning cambium function. The tree was likely hit by lightning and all of the bark blew off one side. It is beginning...

I'm going to be starting a small application division within my company. I have recently become certified by the state and have sold a handful of applications. I'm looking to buy a 200 gallon skid sprayer. I have a lescvo dealer nearby and can purchase a rig through them for about $4,100.00...

My thing is that I need a longer bar mostly. The 455 has an 18" bar and it's good for a light ground saw or larger climbing applications. But I find myself monkeying around for too long cutting up big trunks and flushing off stumps. I pass on some jobs just cause I don't have enough saw for...

Hey folks, I'm going to buy a Stihl ms 200 t, and a "big saw" for larger job site tasks. My questions are: What is the best price for the 200t? Where can I order it? One local dealer says $579.00 but another guy says he will price match even online order. So I need that price. I'm...

Stay at your job and do weekend work. Spend every dollar you earn from weekend work on new equipment. In the meantime study marketing and business on the web at night. In a year you will be better equipped for the challenge. My gut feeling is that we are really going to be fighting over every...

Tom, your writing style is lazy, not cool. FYI, you may not be perceived like you think.

Thanks Urban Forester. I have two manuals to study from. One is the manual that you indicated with the questions at the back of the book form the EPA called "applying pesticides correctly", the other is "ornamental pest control" which has an exhaustive list of plant diseases and their control...

I'm sitting for the Ohio Dept. Applicator test soon and in the process of studying the core material. I am not taking the serviceperson exam, but the one that enables me to buy, store and apply chemicals in Ohio. I am a certified arborist with about 10 years in the field, so I've picked up...

Look forward to seeing the pics

A couple of times a year a customer will write a check out to Masterarbor instead of my company name.
