cutting deadwood from an old Beech is likely not straight forward. most often this deadwood has a long sleeve of a branch collar, growing out along the deadwood This live wood should not be cut into. So you are left with stubs in a sense. You should be sure not to leave a ring of live tissue...

Crossing branches are usually not a concern. I they are large, then it is highly likely that removing one of them is far worse than doing nothing. Reducing end weight of the two limbs (pro work for sure) may turn the rubbing point into a contact point that may even become a natural brace. A...

i would say it depends on the quality of the wall. the diameter could increase and just push the soil out. if its not a wet lay cement wall or a light landscape wall then it will lose. let them fight. if the tree wins then garden around the wall bending to hide the appearance of a tilted wall...

if they have been an arborist for longer that's better bigtime. over 10 years is good. over 20 is better. definately a certified arborist though. they should be able to identify most or all of your species unless you have a very unique collection. Better if you can make sense of what they are...

1st thing, plant a tree underneath in an orientation that mitigates good location on the property and removal of the tree in question without too much interference. 2nd thing, remove the dead portion and probably reduce (probably lighly to start)pthe live portion to help prevent failure in a...

removing deadwood to improve tree health is a bit of a misconception. removing dead is for people more than trees and is certainly necessary at times to reduce risk. some of the deadwood branch collars will likely look like big knobs, even long at times. do not cut into the green wood. it might...

is this really the client or is it the arborist asking? I assume it's the arborists pics. anyway I would say support systems (cable) in combination with reduction. several 2" to 4" cuts made at the ends. basically all extremities beyond that fracture point should be reduced to some degree. 3"...

I've cleared a few lots before (2-4 acre) and here are some tips. definitely hire an arborist with a lot of experience at least for a consultation. 1. tree protection for the remaining trees is challenging. a fence or plywood hoarding around the trees to remain is a good idea to create a tree...
