Pin oak that I dead wooded and did a slight limb lift and tip pruning a few weeks ago

 

[FireFighterZero]

Looks sharp!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Pretty tree

 

[treebilly]

That was on my job. I told my real job groundie that I trimmed a beautiful specimen of a pin oak and he told me there was no such thing.

 

[Stumper]

Most beautiful horizontal trunked specimen I have ever seen.

Yeah I'll figure out how to post pics right someday. I just figured out how to post a pic at all earlier today

Nice job, mine is 23 this year and he's wrong. Can't get a good picture of it there's too many bloody trees.

Is it safe?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Rock it, Max!

 

[Maximalist]

Is it safe?

I to offer the customer to cut this tree (oak). The answer was negative. It seems to me the oak is now like a palm tree ...))

Is it safe?

Absolutely.

 

[treelooker]

For how long?

O and what was the objective? Visibility?

 

[squisher]

Who knows. Bizarro lift.

 

[Mick!]

Dead wood by the looks of it.

 

[Maximalist]

Is it safe?

Absolutely.

You sure about that? I personally always doubt. I often see this is -

 

[Tucker943]

Well lets turn the question back to you. Why do you create trees that you feel are unsafe?

 

[Tucker943]

I figured it was safe for quite a long time. Eventually those big wounds could turn to crap. My answer to the question was immediate safety. Long term? Doubt it.

Vertical Mulching.. This walnut has some serious compaction issues, water issues and had vines in it. Roots were severed on one side (where most the dead was) for a new septic line. We removed all the dead wood over the structures and any smaller limbs that were crossed over others. Broken limbs that were a possible threat. Removed as little of living tissue as possible.
Drilled a shat load of 2" holes... Bucket after bucket of composted soil with worm castings. Some Super thrive and Fish Emulsion...
Then wood chips.
See how it does over the next couple years.
Seth & Lilly were really proud to help try and save a tree.

Cool!



It looked like a giant tortoise in the back ground.
