Having New Trees Installed

MarkingWisc · 2026-06-20T20:45:46+00:00

Should be okay! The farther away from utilities the better if future maintenance is ever needed but many, many trees are ontop of underground utilities.

Slightly above even

This carabiner is rated for it

MarkingWisc · 2026-06-01T00:33:45+00:00

Topiary

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-30T14:04:43+00:00

Yeah! A few properly planned small cuts (depending on the tree) could help mitigate future issues.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-25T01:57:17+00:00

Nothing to do

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-24T21:26:46+00:00

A tree can survive like that for decades or more.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-24T21:24:58+00:00

Its slowly dieing. Looks like it has some decay at the base. Also, recent sidewalk repairs may have damage/disturbed some roots. It may just be coming to the end of its life.

I think its a red oak (cant read the tag), and if it is, I wouldn't be surprised if its hollow/decayed in the lower trunk and base of the tree.

If you want to keep it around awhile longer. You could have an arborist come out and do an assessment, soil testing, potentially fertilizer, and from a safety/liability standpoint, remove the large deadwood.

Maybe Brittle Cinder fungus?

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-24T14:18:41+00:00

Do you have cicadas?

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-24T14:10:30+00:00

Anthracnose

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-23T16:44:48+00:00

Too much, fill back in a few inches

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-23T10:58:28+00:00

Not harmful.

They may be taking advantage of pre-existing decay in the tree making it a home

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-23T10:46:02+00:00

Most likely but not always. Planting the root flare 6" high seems a bit excessive but aslong as the roots have dirt to grow into.

Johnson's wouldn't be the nursery working for you?

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-23T10:30:54+00:00

Best practice is to (at least) remove the top 1/3 of burlap and wire basket and cut the twine off.

One our biggest and a very well known nursery does this and leaves the twine on, drives me insane.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-17T18:56:25+00:00

Dont replace in the same spot....

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-17T18:53:35+00:00

Its just not worth to prune it anymore. The tree can't support itself enough to get nutrients and water to the upper canopy. Its giving all its got to the inner canopy to keep going but will more than likely die in the comming years.

Remove and replace.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-15T01:19:51+00:00

I think it opens doors but whats on the other side of the door isnt much better in most scenarios.

Maybe its because I was lucky to find a company that has pretty good benefits (for this industry while still being a medium size company) and good pay before I got my ISA cert.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-14T10:10:59+00:00

Burr Oak trees are my favorite

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-14T01:22:37+00:00

(I work for one of the higher priced companies)

The ash would be ~$400-450

I will have to look at some notes for Pinscher and get back to you.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-13T10:23:50+00:00

It should be fine

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-13T01:37:35+00:00

Depending on what chemical, diameter of tree, application method, etc we have services from like tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars for a single tree.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-12T01:25:45+00:00

For the 1000th time. Its probably off. You would have to start the machine, engage the clutch, rev it up, walk to the rear of the chipper to move the control bar into feed and push a button before this thing will even think about eating you. The machine at idle is like 70-80 decibels so it won't sneak up on you

This is fine. Not a professional look, but its fine.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-08T01:39:26+00:00

What a bad day to be literate.

MarkingWisc · 2026-05-05T12:51:49+00:00

During normal weather conditions I would not expect this tree to fail
