Should I start a business????

[jefflovstrom]

I haven't been following this whole thing too closely, and have only been able to see a couple of the vids, but I think jeffers said troll, and I gotta agree. Nobody could be that annoying and not be a troll.. just sayin.

... and nobody could be that bad with tree ID after 40 years. Annoying.

And count how many times he uses the word 'instuctional' when posting vids.

I saw the pine (spruce) vid, and he was either faking getting all worked up towards the top ("jeepers, this is high -even for me"! ..c'mon!) or he looked like a two year climber.. or maybe he was suffering from some sort of chemical imbalance.

From Wikipedia:

An arborist, or (less commonly) arboriculturalist, is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants.

If you fit in that description than you are an arborist whether you are cerified or not. I had planned to get my certification a couple of years back but have real problems with some of the ISA's newer policies and requirements. I do however prune according to their guidelines. What I don't need is to be told how to be ethical. I find that insulting.

well damn!!!!! that means I really am an arborist....lol...

Well maybe but to be sure define: apical dominance, What role does it play in your trimming?

Ok how does soil compaction effect macropores and micropores and what is its result in phc?

 

[ropensaddle]

How does included bark create weak attachment?


What is the common result of lions tail and how can you restore a tree that has been lions tailed?

 

[ropensaddle]

What does a lenticel do?

guard cell , pyrachma cell ?

 

[ropensaddle]

What is codit and how does it come into play in phc?

Good for you. You should just do it!

I'm gonna try and see if it isn't too late to sign up for the CT arborists test, that's in january tomorrow. I'm pretty certain I'll fail the first time, but at least get the feel for it I figure.

You were quite sure that the tree was being mishandled because nobody comes down a tree after setting their TIP, I'd say that was faulty reasoning and the proof of it was in the photographs I provided of it's take down.

You don't have to wonder who I am, come and meet me in Mt. Lebanon. I only offered you a job as a groundie because that's the position I put anyone in on their first day. Since you seem very experienced I may hire you for a day (or half a day) as climber. I have three trees to take down, you could pick one.

What would you charge for a six hour day in Mt. lebanon? I plan to start the job on Tuesday, with Wednesday or Thursday as needed.

Ohh....Double A! 1st off, I dont think my opinion was faulty reasoning!!! 2nd...before I help/work with anyone I want to know them, 3rd...although you might think what you offered is good...I will pass!! If I go to Mt.lebanon/Upper St. Clair It`ll be for my team & I to provide service to our customers!!!

As I have already said I have more than enough work for the next couple weeks! BUT NOW TO WHO YOU ARE????? I am thinking I probably know you? or those who work with you? you never did answer my question about if you worked for 1919? BTW. My name is Doug Long!! see no secrets.....your turn.

Ropes,

you will do fine on the test!! you will miss some if not many questions cuz thats how its designed, I always thought rewording definitions/twisting things was a type of "test trickery" But it makes you think!!!

You will do good!!

LXT.............

Lol hey just saying ya want to be average arborist which is all I am you gotta know all that and more! You want to be top shelf get ready for study round the clock imo.

I will going from memory give an example of ropes answer to first question and then the real arborists can pick me apart lol. Apical dominance is the ability of apical bud to regulate plant growth by regulating auxin therefore slowing differentiation at zone of elongation (meristem)

I use this trait in my pruning to manipulate growth and invigorate areas lacking sufficient green woody tissue with minimal pruning.
