Thanks man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JD Yes. The drought is the driving force behind this issue. Mulch would be a big help, but I couldn't see a good way to mulch this tree, being such a narrow strip of a parkway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. There have been neighborhood meetings and all sorts of fun things going on here. Some people hired a different company to inject imidicloprid and 3 trees had trunk sprays with dinotefuron (which I don't think is even meant for bark beetles). I've injected tree-age and the neighbors love...

If you look close at the tree, they really are two different trees. The wood grain is completely separated. I've convinced myself that the sidewalk side is in no way supporting the street side of the tree. I have a feeling if we fast forward 2-3 years, there will be NO tree left on the...

I don't know why the link is doing that?

Howdy folks. Time for an update! So this tree was injected with some insecticides in Oct 2015. It was injected after a few years of insane drought. Then in the past year and a half the drought continued, though we did finally have an average rain season this year. This street is lined...

FWIW, I found the TRAQ course to be totally worth it. I hope you do, too! Also, we had some huge winds come through last week. The tree hasn't fallen....yet

"Only ten years?" By that time the property will change hands 2 or three times and new owners can make the final say if they want it gone. If the client wants to keep it, why not? love nick

So?

The half we left was well OVER 75% alive. More than that even. Oh well, the deed is done. We have already collected the few hundred dollars that we did the work for, rather than the few thousand that Jomoco would've milked her for if he removed the tree.

Since we think most of the roots on the yard side are gone, we were planning on doing it out on the street. Do we need a permit for that?

Oh that's the part I woulda messed up. Okay so I dip the brush into the tar, then into the slaughtered animal THEN onto the pruning cuts. Got it.

Only if you use tar sealant on all the pruning cuts

It's going down this week. Thursday or Friday- can't remember. I'm going to have the guys cut off the obvious dead. Anything half alive will be retained, as per clients request. We'll be injecting the right half of the tree with 10mL/inch Tree-age (we dilute with water to improve movement in...

Shouldn't we just cut all the trees down on the whole street since all of them surely have some bark beetles in them?

Yep- but as of about 8 years ago or so, the city said made it the home owners responsibility The beetle holes are heaviest on the weakest trees, and weakest parts of the trees. You can see them in the left side of the tree, but almost none on the right side. Regarding if the tree fails...

No. But you're so annoying that no mater what you say, it makes me have to fight it tooth and nail. love nick

Merle I think what you're taking about is how most of us see it. But in your analogy, "the leg bone is connected to the knee bone" and so on. But in this situation, I don't think the two sides are connected that well, if at all. love nick

They're all gonna die eventually. We should cut them all down now. love nick

I'm not using an insecticide spray. Go start another thread about spraying or injecting trees so I can go muck it up. You're annoying like a little kid that was never taught good manners. love nick
