  3. I have a sad birch tree. Anybody in #seattle recommend a particular #arborist?

  4. Anyone know anything about trees? This old apple tree in my garden which produces hundreds of not-great-tasting apples every year looks like it’s in a bit of a state. I had to cut back a weird horizontal branch that had been partially cut before, and there’s a ton of rot.

    It’s not in danger of hitting any buildings if it ever does fall, although could maybe take out a distracted child or two if I’m lucky.

    Anything I can do to save it?

  10. Needing to fell a tree in my garden last year and having had much lower level scares atop step ladders, reaching with chainsaw in one hand. I figured I'd do some research at the university of YouTube.

    With 30+ hours of #arborist videos under my belt I successfully took down a 35m pine using negative rigging, some cheap Chinese static rope, a slightly too small climbing harness and a battery powered chainsaw from Aldi.

    I should have stopped there.

    But the algorithm!

    YouTube knew my new obsession and fed me more.

    I learned about moving or doubled rope technique (MRS/DRT/DdRT) and single or static rope technique (SRS/SRT) along with knots and hitches then gear.

    I have too many hobbies so have spend wisely. Top brands are usually expensive, after all they have to recover the cost of advertising that makes you think they're the best so I bought Xinda and Cliwiz gear from China and now have more or less everything I need to enjoy some great recreational tree climbing, starting low and slow at first of course.

    At 66 and still fairly fit, why shouldn't I?

  15. #rope #splice #arborist

    I was using some Samson Treemaster the other day to yard some logs. I knotted the rope to make an attachment, and couldn't get the knots out. Treemaster doesn't like giving up knots once it's loaded. It's a nasty gnarly line. Difficult to deal with in every respect, but it wears like iron.

    I cut the knots out, and spliced eyes into the ends. I *can not* splice Treemaster worth a damn. Ugly splices, but they should hold, and the eyes will be useful.

  20. Saw the #ThickTrunkTuesdays, #ThickTrunkTuesday, #TreeTrunkTuesdays & #TreeTrunkTuesday tag in my feed and found the exact right moment to post this photo (which is somehow 20 years old) of young Jack with my arborist turned accountant father standing on a redwood stump when we lived in California. And the next job he had after this took us from California to Michigan was a nonprofit nursery devoted to repopulating the earth with redwoods!

  23. #trees #arborist

    I'm beat. I spent the day removing a couple tulip poplars, and have to go back tomorrow to finish. Wood is getting left on site, and everything that fits in my 6" chipper is being chipped, and blown into a wooded area. My friend usually does the climbing, and I do the groundwork and ropes.

    We started treework at the same time, and he's turned into a fantastic climber. He far surpasses me. I'm proud of him :^)

  28. Gardener hivemind: Re: Fruit trees

    I planted two 2-year-old Bartlett pear trees a year ago to revive our orchard. One didn’t survive - our tree guy says it was probably root-bound in the pot from the grower. The other was gorgeous and healthy, leafed out and growing until a porcupine stripped it naked overnight this August. It broke my heart because it had one wee pear on it! Branches were broken from the beast crawling all over it, all the leaves stripped off, and nothing green left.

    Question: Is there anything I can do to help it recover? I am watering it every two weeks as the summer has been brutally dry, and I give it liquid seaweed/fish fertilizer once a month. It’s mulched with shredded bark mulch, but clear right beside the trunk.

    The porcupine also stripped a 40-year-old Bosc pear tree, and two hardy cherry trees. It reminds me of what is happening to the good things in the world that people spent decades building, only to be hollowed out almost overnight by careless, selfish people…

    Anyway…trees. Any advice is helpful.
