The Gift of Trees

Until recently, I didn't pay attention to the amazing diversity of trees around my area. I'm glad I finally started appreciating their uniqueness.

What is going on with my tree???

I received a free tree from The Arbor Day Foundation, I've been watering it everyday because of the heat and they said it doesn't need any soil or anything, just plant it in the ground. What can I do?

Appreciation post for my parents’ massive copper beech

I’ve loved this tree since I was a kid. Still one of the most impressive trees I’ve ever seen. The trunk is about 5 feet in diameter and the breadth of its leaves takes up nearly the whole yard

Choosing the best new harness

I’m tired of my saddle being pulled down by my saw, the hard release of waist straps, and that it’s not comfortable after a few hours. I’m looking at the Tree motion pro, the Sequoia, Koala. But are. Your thoughts?

Irish tree torture?

These trees are on the University of Galway campus. They absolutely can’t move a millimeter. I’m not a tree expert at all, but from the tree subreddits, I didn’t think this was best practice. I was really surprised to see every young tree on campus supported like this.

Just starting out

Hey guys! So I had my first week last week working as a arborist trainee and this is some hard work. I graduated from school with a forestry degree and want to get ISA certified , and end goal get into sales. I was just wondering if it is so normal to feel genuinely so stupid at the beginning, I feel so helpless and ask so many questions. I was just wondering if that’s normal? I just want to be an arborist at some point but man it’s so hard and there is so much information. I’m willing to work but was just wondering about other peoples experiences.

Trees died

Planted at the end of May in Alberta Canada and all them died. Cedar trees purchased from Home Depot. Should I try to replace them with new cedar trees?

The murder of a tree

I have had a tremendous love of trees for 63 years now. Seeing this magnificent old beauty be butchered is hurting my soul.
It probably won’t survive such an assault.

Bark trouble?

This sugar maple has smallish strips of bark peeling off it. It's an old tree and hasn't done this before, at least for the five years that I've owned it. Any help?

Black locust removal—connected root systems?

About 10 years ago we had to take down a large black locust.

Well since then it sprouted up a whole bunch of new trees as far as 30 feet away from the original! We have 7 trees now and Some of them are already 40 feet tall.

We like most of them but one blew down in a storm and we might want to remove another that’s a little close to the house.

We’ve been seeing lots of new saplings around the new stump and dutifully cutting them down. But now we’re curious about whether chemical treatment is possible at the stump of the tree that blew down, or for any individual tree without harming all the other healthy locusts. .

I figure I may as well belatedly attack the new stump with a chainsaw but don’t know if it’s okay to use epsom salts or something stronger while I’m at it.
