Notes from a treedweller: February 2009

Notes from a treedweller. An Austin arborist's view of trees. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Now, I do not expect shopping centers to hire the best arborists in town to maintain their trees. I wish they would, but I know they are going to look for a low bid and focus more on clearances and safety than on proper tree care. But this project hits a new low for the worst in tree care. I do not believe there is a single industry standard that was not violated on this project. Flush cuts were the norm. Unfortunat...

Notes from a treedweller: August 2011

http://notesfromatreedweller.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Notes from a treedweller. An Austin arborist's view of trees. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. People often ask to have the "suckers" removed from trees. The problem starts with the name itself. Looks good to some, but weakens trees. Everyone has a different opinion about how far this should go, of course, but the basic idea is the same. At its worst, this practice is sometimes called "lion-tailing" or "poodle-dogging" because of the puff of green leaves at the end of long, bare poles. Cut one, get several.

Notes from a treedweller. An Austin arborist's view of trees. Tuesday, August 4, 2009. A few of my friends. I've been on another long hiatus. My original idea for this blog was to record the often random thoughts that go through my head all day while I climb trees. Somehow, it morphed into a tree advice and education column. As much of my time is already spent in these pursuits, I kind of got burned out on blogging. I was climbing a live oak, and what had appear. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). International...

Notes from a treedweller. An Austin arborist's view of trees. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Well, here I am in NYC. Last night I checked the bar for imsdave, but never recognized him, so dinner was with some non-puzzling friends who came up from DC. Afterward, I went to the wine-and-cheese thing, but I suck at that stuff and really didn't enjoy myself. That's okay. It was good to catch up with old friends, too. Now it's time for lunch and regrouping. More later. February 20, 2010 at 12:09 PM. ISA Certifie...

Notes from a treedweller. An Austin arborist's view of trees. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. After one of the hottest, driest summers Austin has ever seen, we finally got some rain last month. Not just a quick shower that disappears in minutes, but days of slow, steady soaking. For fans of crape myrtles ( Lagerstroemia indica. It was a sweet reward. Crape myrtles are native to Asia, but they do well almost everywhere. They are tough, reliable trees. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Tree Care Industry Association.
