Bermy Guava is really tough wood. When I was a kid at school I took many a lash ( a$$ cutting ) by teachers with the good ole guava stick. Flexes good too so ya get a good beating. Guess it more of a whipping.

Bermy I sure do work on Seagrape. I am on holiday in New England doing some climbing and hanging out with my arborist buds. When I get back will post some pics of me working on one that is scheduled. The seagrape is a nice fruit.

That's close, what do people do sleep on top of one another? Similar in China from what I hear.

I do agree I am a solitude kind of guy, just me and the family. Don't keep too much company just a few close friends. But I do like these forums as you can learn a lot from the " experienced " folks. I actually am going and spend four weeks by a dude I befriended on the buzz, leaving next...

Thanks Mr B, that is a nice compliment, I try to do things the right way but HO's can be very frustrating. Education is the key and I am trying to do my best with the sometimes poor situations I am given. That is why I joined the treehouse and buzz so I can learn as much as I can ( I have a...

Well I always liked things the way it was when I was growing up and I am 45. It was more natural and I was kinda like a hippy growing up only more " dread mon ". Things have gotten so spoiled down here in the name of progress, many big trees are gone and the reefs in the sea are dying at a...

Well Brian the boardwalk is 5 years old about and that could be very well what happened. But all the others up and down have been thriving so I am not so sure, but this crap has been going on for years down here. Check this photo which is further down the boardwalk where they have made a...

Looking towards the sea the back tree was all the fuss. It had a heavy lean towards the boardwalk that we can't see. No equipment except a D9 could work in that dense sand. The skid steer was sinking every where. The first one was straight as a pin, but that was not the problem tree. One mistake...

Here are some of the photos removing those two very old Casaurinas. The Tree on the side of the beach and board walk had to be rigged on the first. They were completely dead, and those who think they have seen hardwood, no nothing of these trees when they are dead, believe me. I worked on the...

Now back to treework. Here are the before shots of twin casaurina removals for tomorrow, which are dead and a little too close for comfort looming by the boardwalk where there is high traffic. Will post the work being done soon stay tuned. Oh yeah those are some horrid pandanas under the tree...

Here is a picture of two flamboyants near where I live. One yellow one orange.

That's called Plumeria Rubra. We have all four varieties of Frangipani down here but we are having major problems with a giant catepillar which eats every one off the leaves off. It only attacks Frangipani.

Hey Bermie cool thread start. Yeah the Poinciana is what we call the flamboyant, guess this common name came from it's illustrious flowers in bloom ( red mostly, deep orange and yellow variety rarely ). Here is a previously topped monster by some hack that I had then had to remove.
