You Oak or Euc?

[formationrx]

I'm an oak man with euc tendencies. I am new here and would like to find out what kinda group we have on this site. Are you guys pure one way or the other or a mix?

 

[ForTheArborist]

All Eucs. I don't see any oak where I'm at. Some day though.....

Corymiba man now:msp_sneaky:

Corymbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corymbia is a genus of about 113 species of tree that were classified as Eucalyptus species until the mid-1990s. It includes the bloodwoods, ghost gums and spotted gums.

Don't see many oaks here in aust. So euc it is

cracking up

Maybe I should explain... jeez this is making me feel old.
Euc men are high climbers that prefer big wood. They knock out huge removals, and do not care if things look pretty. They are highly skilled and love to cheat the reaper. Euc men enjoy the challenge of the most dangerous work and the biggest saws. They are fearless and are very innovative riggers.
Oak men are in it for making trees beautiful and healthy. They sculpt, study, and prune away. They like ornamentals, allied fruits, and other shade trees. They use snips, handsaws, pole saws, pole clips, and only use a chainsaw for removing large limbs or shaping. They thrive on making the tree absolutely perfect in their own style.
Most tree guys I have known have been a mix of both oak and euc--but never equally... they prefer one but have qualities of the other. Totally euc or totally oak is rare. I hope this is clear enough...

This whole question and explanation has fruity California undertones to it and it creeped me out a little. But welcome to the site.

Ok then, given that I'd say hmmm twas more Eucy than Oaky but I'm mellowing wise like a wine in Oak barrel with my growin age. I'd say ya over thinkin the trade a wee bit not to many existentialist tree philosophers hangin on a 660mag but lets see eh. :msp_rolleyes:

 

[Blakesmaster]

I'd heard the phrase when Mapleman was around. Assume it's a California thing. I don't think there's many places on Earth that have both Oaks and Euks. But to answer the question I'm a bit of both, but I'd much rather a hairy removal to a ornamental prune most days of the week.

 

[tree md]

Big hairy prunes make my sticker peck out...

I can get jiggy with the gomtaro and handsnips.. or the husky's. Of course, I am "The One".

 

[Nailsbeats]

It's a different mindset for each one. I do each equally as well and just consider myself a treeman.

I'm a tree Guy myself. So, you work on the breasts? Do you have any stories? Start a new thread. I won't mind.

Who are you to talk?
You are neither euc man or oak man, doubt you are a man. You should stay out of post's that real tree guy's are in.
