Id go for it... The guy isnt a mental case, hes just not smart..... lol. Anyone who trys taking down a tree with a pair of latex gloves has common sense problems, this being california too, go figure. The speaking tree bit is probably just the tree rubbing his house. And I think by "moving" he...

I butchered your quote a lil... Amen to all three... While I have agreed the whole time here that having a government intervention is an appalling idea, there must be a way to stop the hacks without intervening further into our rights. Why cant we just take a few ANSI regs, test over...

I know im just beggin for a butt chewing here, but ive said this many times to many "leaders" of organizations. The ISA and the TCIA are money grubbers... I have tried to get their help in organizing seminars and supplying literature for the same, and have gotten nothing. Dont even get me...

wow. just wow.

a picture and the region of origin would help. my father made some ash cabinets a couple years ago and had the same problem. yours could just be one local bug that got into it, or it could be a whole colony like he had. he ripped it all out and started over, if you have more than just a...

If a feller is good enough he should be able to put the tree in the best position to not disturb the remaining trees. We just took 46 dead pines out of a row of 200, and only damaged one 2 inch live limb in the process. You can even drop trees on young limber trees, and have them recover...

ropensaddlenwraptor LMFAO!

We all agree that topping is wrong, and yes there are exceptions (utility, storm damage and pollarding to name a few). But the subject of legislation seems to be split down the middle. Even the people saying they are against legislation agree that something needs to be done.... But What? How...

the last three posts here have been good ones. i personally am very much against being regulated and told what to do. i am just as likely to not do what im told just to feel like im not the governments gimp... however... there are certain laws and regulations i agree with... let me try this...

My company DOES NOT top trees. If we cant get a customer to understand we walk away. Not only is it a crime against nature, but it is professional suicide. If I got caught topping a tree, it would ruin my golf course and parks works. I feel bad about taking down live trees let alone...

I have tried everything i can think of to help eradicate this man-made blight. Ive organized training seminars, stop to talk to every crew i see, and educate every homeowner who answers the door. Its not working... There are 250 tree companies and "individuals" operating in the Wichita...

think of all the times youve dropped a limb and it drove into the ground. now think of your tarp being under it... good tips for cleanup on here already, ill add that kicking the majority of limbs into a pile before picking them up is a great way to save your back.

I think Ive been having a similar problem. Atleast 50% of my time in the tree involves pulling 300 pounds of gorilla and equipment upwards.... Six months ago I had this pain in my left shoulder, which totally freaked me out, so i went and had my heart checked out to make sure it was exploding or...

a soil sample would help. why not plant a great selection? collect and plant as many acorns as you can, compared to transplanting, its very affordable and you get more trees...you could transplant a 4 or 5 footer in the middle to be a landmark. i know it doesnt sound right but...

we just got a 5/8ths. i like to compare it to a cross between steel cable and a bungee cord! we use a large portawrap and blocks and i can tell you you will need one less wrap or turn on the portawrap. awesome stuff.

Im putting together a field day in wichita ks in early october. this is only my 3rd day on the project, but ive got 5 speakers, 150 attendees, and 10 sponsers, so it should turn out pretty good. what im looking for right now is someone to speak on aerial or ground ops... living and working...

seeds wanted hey guys. thought this would be a good place to ask, im looking for any and all evergreen seeds, particuraly from you PNW folks. we got a new property not to long ago and im working on filling it up lol. i dont need a semi load just a couple of envelopes. im in a 6b hardy, but im...

kinda hard to tell from the picture, but i would guess at a defeciency in the new soil. there does appear to be some spotting on the leaves but i cant make it out. how often ARE you watering it? youll get more of a response tonight. most of these guys are out working...

Now THAT made me laugh! I got one of those mental pictures lol. Your dead wrong on that one buddy. only through actual working experience do you learn something for sure. certification just means that youve read your books. We have several "certified arborists" running around spiking up...

KAA Field Day June 11th (Happy birthday to me!). Look on the site for specifics, but I think its in colton(sp) by lawrence. Ill be the one in the safety green shirt lmao.
