Up to now, I'd known of only one company that drills the flare for data, despite the obvious health issues from wounding and spreading decay in that critical part of the tree. But when I ordered the Root Management BMP, I saw that practice featured on the cover. Shell wall thickness formulas...

Yesterday I climbed a baldcypress that is under transmission lines so it's in an ongoing court battle. The tree's response to last year's pruning puts the lie to the myth that reduction cuts to buds and small laterals aka "footing cuts" will trigger wild sprouting and rampant decay. Last June...

I've been pruning trees for 50 years, but just heard this term for the first time. Anyone know what it means?

http://us1.forward-to-friend.com/forward/show?u=5a601babc211bbbd9e8e42486&id=65a8125619 Practicing arborists will present new and exciting tree care techniques and services--come on down!

see the blog post below: Where increasing habitat for saproxylic insects is the objective, extra wounding is specified. See slides 10-11 of this excellent presentation, as presented to the European Parliament. If the overriding objectives are tree structure and health, cuts would instead be...

We keep hearing how ISA/TCIA etc. should fund advertising campaigns to get the word out about what we do. Members often seek more from their organizations, without using what's there already. Hello--they already are! Forwarding info like this...

I just got the below note and pics. What can I say? " I am glad to see there is someone out there who has a risk tolerance for trees like I do. At least we call it a risk tolerance, for lack of a better word. Anyway, it is getting harder and harder not to condemn trees in today's litigious...

Big shingle oak over house, wires and roads. What should be done?

Ran into this and wrote in: Please consider revising this. 1. the 2nd cut is way beyond the undercut, leaving a lot to chance. 2. If we are limited by our tools, we need to use other tools. There are many ways to make a clean cut to the collar.--straight-bladed saws, more cuts to...

http://www.historictreecare.com/the-kvill-oak-the-broadest-oak-trunk-in-europe/kvill-oak-report-140610-copy/ aka what I did on my vacation. No such thing as getting away from it all, when trees are everything! It's a work in progress; suggestions welcome.
