I asked about what services tree companies or workers offered, or did not offer. After reams of talk about climbing in trees, it was interesting to see that the thread went silent as soon as the question arose about what other arboriculture services are involved.
It can be useful for others to know what we offer or don't offer. Not just the "what" part, but the "why" part.
In my case, one thing I dropped entirely was my pesticide applications and pesticide consultant's license. Ocassionally, I'll review with a college class or something, but in Oregon, pesticide application specialists have started to emerge, focusing on that niche more and more. I find it very convenient to let them handle that niche.
Here's a definition of Arboriculture...
Here were a few questions from the other thread...
Do you climb?
Do you include ground level pruning and shrubs?
Do you study the environment: both lawn, small plants and soil?
Do you apply pesticides?
Do you select and plant trees?
Do you consult for trees?
Do you consult for trees in the full landscape?
How limited is your service based on the description above for aboriculture?
With Vines, Shrubs - do you understand the arboriculture needs for them?
Which part do you like working with best?

Here's a definition of Arboriculture...
Arboriculture is the selection, planting, care, and removal of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants and the study of how they grow and respond to cultural practices and the environment.
