Here ya go Nick

Looked to me on topic ;)

I inspect and assess the trees I have installed systems in every 2-3 years with few exception. I doubt I will ever have a problem, but one never knows. Look at Deva and the swing he recently went through... or may still be.. I look at it as extending the inevitable and inform the HO as such...

On trees like this I am often asked "what would you do?" I always answer "If you go look at my house, there is not a tree or branch over it or leaning toward it that can reach it. But I am a tree guy". ;)

In CA, probably so. Seems you are responsible even if.... Client has been advised that this is not a fix, but damage mitigation. In other words, advised it will eventually fail. The cabling is more about minimising and mitigation of damage to the structures and targets under the tree. HO is...

Ohhhhhhhhh... the mistletoe... :lol:

:lol: I'm a gonna sick Guy on you MB .. :lol:

Mistletoe alllllllll gonnnnnnnnnne ;) Only a couple of clumps. I am going to try and edit a picture or two to show where the break is. I wish I had a camera up there with me. About a year of compartmentalisation showing along the edges.

That side is not cracked John, Nor was it. It is what the previous HO wanted almost 3 years ago before he sold it to pacify his insurance Co. The side that cracked recent was on the pump shed side of the tree. Something we will be addressing next week.

SO a little update.. Bump Back when we first assessed the tree, we actually found it rather sound in root and huge in rind on the compartmentalisation of the wound on the side where the fungus started showing up. We reduced and cabled the section over the shop roof and it held real well over the...

I should be able to go bore it here soon... HO is still deciding if he wants to pay for a RCX. Looks like he is just probably just going to let me reduce it, cable it and he will do some fertilizing etc. See if it will buy some time for the tree and mitigate hose damage. Eventually removing the...

When I bore it, a lot of damage could be revealed. I already apprised the HO of this. If the heart wood is more sound, I am reading that fertilizing the roots and keeping them healthier could help keep the infection slowed down? Help establish more root vigor to help the tree? As far as...

Dang .. that is hard! I guess medicinal treatments are common among these fungus. I read the same thing about this one.

I need to go back and do an RCX yet, I did not have a lot of time tonight as I told the customer I had soccer tonight... We are going to touch base again tomorrow to set up more time to look at the tree further. The area that looks hollow where they took two limbs off in the past at the main...

The more I read up on this fungus... Laetiporus sulphureus ? Perhaps? The more I feel like I should push more for removal. I more or less laid it out straight to him that this is not a good sign.

Prospective new client had me look at his blue oak this evening. Large leader over the roof of a rental. The tree really is an eye catcher and quite large. It suffered from a fire maybe 15 years ago and is cat faced on the side away from the structure. Good compartmentalization of older wounds...
