    waiver for tree risk assessments

    Topskott, yes, it was a one off, seperate from my general liability. I will try to give you a holler soon. Streyken, indeed, I have the urban cert, not the wildlife danger tree, that made it no good for work on the Stanley Park hazard assessments this winter :( but just fine for any of the...

    waiver for tree risk assessments

    The PNW chapter course is actually the Certified tree risk assessor. Its for the urban rural interface and not the same as the wildlife danger tree cert. I think its city of richmond or vancouver that has it in the bylaw. and dont forget those business licences. I was told last week that the...

    International Tree Failure Database

    uhm, no, I meant that I have sent a report in for a tree that failed near here. The point of the database is to try to establish a body of information regarding tree failures etc. so industry people with some basic training are invited to sign up and send in reports of failures they witness...

    How to tell crabapple from cherry?

    fruit is quite different. many crabapple leaves are rounded where cherries tend to be more elongated. Dirrs Manual is a good book for sure.

    Painted Tree Trunks?

    I go with Guy's thoughts. soft soap and hydrated lime makes a whitewash. old gaffers seem to think it was a good sunburn protector (for overly pruned fruit trees etc) and an insect deterrent for climbing insects. darn hard to find soft soap these days but hey, doc farwells tree paint seems a...

    SuperThrive!

    the advertising is retarded. its a B-1 based product, I have used it on cuttings and transplants and they have come through well, and the local indoor grass growers seem to really like.

    Cypress ID

    Clearance, it might be that yellow cedar is (was) called Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ( a false cypress) although the name chage to Xanthocyperus is proposed but I dont think finalized. and western red cedar is actually a Thuja plicata. True Cedar, Cedrus doesnt occur in BC naturally as far as I know.
