I to have removed trees because the money was more wisely spent on the removal and replanting, in the long term. Only to find that the decay was not as progressed as thought. Might have been able to keep some trees around for a few more years. Most people are not interested in intense...

Majority of storm damage we see is rotten at the ground, split leader and high wind with rain fracture. Cambridge Ontario, rarely sees wind gusts in excess of 90 to 100 km. This tree is on the east side of the house and below the high wind tree line tops. No twisters or micro tornados, if we...

I completely agree with you! On all accounts. Plus what serves the tree best. Oh I don't think you are a jerk. I sense you really care about the situation and I greatly appreciate everyones thoughtfullness and input into the our act of saving what is obvious to everyone, a challenging tree. I...

I climbed all over the tree to prune it and make sure it is safe. What it looks like and what it is are two different things. I wish you all can experience the tree the way I did, it will definetely change your mind about the removal. Sunscald is not an issue when exposure to the sun was...

Only the large cavities where covered to keep Racoons and squirrel out. There are a few holes for birds and bats left open. Habitat is encouraged, so I saved a tree and provided habitat to micro n macro flora/fauna and micro biota plus maintained carbon, plus shading and coolinng etc etc you all...

If it looks to thinned out, you would see bright white little pruning spots all over the tree. Southern Ontario Silvers growth habit is alot like this aside from the odd branching/ multi-leader thing happening.

The tree is vigorous and there was no fuzzy to begin with.

I think if you ask the tree the same question, what might be the response? Ask the owners about hope. That is not what was sold. What was is with the commitment to continued maintenance and inspection most any tree can live forever. How does that 3 000 yr old tree survive on rock escarpment with...

Don't worry it will grow. I pruned maximum 30% Tip/crown reduction, so primarily in the tips with a little crown clean. Silvers are thin trees to begin with. Sunscald is not an issue when the tree is pruned leafless. You can see in the buds and increments of growth that this tree won't slow...

It can help to reduce sprouts or encourage a latent bud to differentiate to a sprout. It will concentrate hormones as they are being translocated from the bud opening. Hormone is primaraily to inhibit the growth of laterals that could compete with the leader and also to stimulate root growth...

This mature tree has survived alot. The new owners got 3 recommendations to ctg. I suggested crown reduction. Tree is healthy, just some big hollows and cavities and after installing a rope and weighting/swaying/shaking it, all looked and felt safe. Once in the tree and wiggling around in it to...
