Let's see here... Guys that steal equipment is the worst I've seen, most common is guys that just drag their feet, or hardly move at all, I think Butch coined the term "Pile Polishers" some time ago. Also common is guys that claim to be way more experienced than they are, they talk the talk...

We have both Monkey Puzzle and Cunninghamia Lanceolata here, both nasty! Monkey Puzzle is a protected species in our city, I've never done a removal on one. But Cunninghamia... man those are just mean. Very sharp needles, wood extremely brittle, especially when it gets really cold, push on a...

CV, Really nice job on the Live Oak! in the before pics you can hardly see any growth, that's a LOT of dead wood you removed! Looks great! I love prune jobs like that. :thumbup:

Butch, what species of tree is that? I can't quite tell from here. You should put those pics in the rotator, they're awesome!

No worries, this is a busy place! It's great! :hello1:

Hi Butch! I think we met in the New members thread a few weeks ago, but my Names Dan :-) I checked out the thread you suggested and made a few changes to my profile. One thing I can't seem to find out about, (done a fair bit of searching), is if this disease is likely to recur after having the...

The growths are not hard like wood, they are very soft and flexible to the touch. But at the same time I cannot say for sure if they are or are not fruiting bodies. I haven't seen anything like it on this species before. I'm in South Surrey B.C. about 10 minutes from the Washington State border.

Hey everyone! This is my first thread here! I have a nice Juniper Shrub I transplanted about two summers ago from a friends yard. A little history first, When I dug it up, I used a small gardening trowel, and a twig to clear away soil so as to be as careful to not to do any unintended damage...

Hi SouthSoundTree! My names Dan, pleased to meet you!

Cool! We have similar millipedes here, the ones I'm thinking of have the opposite color pattern, and are a little longer, as I recall. they like to live in moist dark places I've noticed, under rocks, logs, etc. This guys apparently in the Harpaphe genus...

Thanks! CursedVoyce, Where do we meet? hehe. :-) Hi Butch! good to finally meet you! thanks for the friendly welcome!

Hi Nick! Pleased to meet you!

Hey everyone, my names Daniel. I love Trees and climbing. I've learned a lot lurking around here! Thought it'd be a good time to join and give back what I can :-)
