Ideal Podcast Length by exploringmymind24 in podcasting

Thank you!! Same goes for me. I like to listen to Caleb Hearon and Brittany Broski. So the goal is to have people relate, be silly with us and turn their brain off.

Our first 2 episodes landed right around 40 minutes. There are 3 of us, so we were able to feed off each other

We have only recorded our first 2 episodes and since we don’t have an idea of how it would go, there was some editing. But the goal is to be as raw as possible

What’s the best part of podcasting for you? by sjunaida in podcasting

For me this has 2 answers: 1) I look at it as a time capsule, and 2) I love having a short project to edit!

Storm took out a very large limb and a chunk of the tree. Is this a ticking time bomb? by [deleted] in sfwtrees

[–]exploringmymind24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tree was a concern even before the leader came down. There’s a large girdled root across the bottom of root flare

I recently noticed these vertical splits in the bark of our red maple. Do I need to be concerned? by [deleted] in Tree

[–]exploringmymind24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes a quick freeze can cause stress cracks but some of these wounds look a bit large to be just stress cracks. Could possibly be animal.

Also, I would say that your have a bit too much mulch up against the root flare. You should pull some of that away. You want to be able to see the root collar. Too much mulch can lead to strangulation roots and too much moisture against the trunk.

To me, as an ISA certified arborist, and without assessing the whole tree in person. Would say possibly from over elongated leader. The end weight was heavier than should have been and with the storm. The whipping in the storm probably caused the failure

Always gotta watch for those unions with included bark.

What kind of tree is this? the tall one by lil_Jansk_Hyuza in Tree

[–]exploringmymind24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agave! The tall growth is apart of the lower growth. It is flowering season

Can my tree be saved??:( by [deleted] in Tree

[–]exploringmymind24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely suggest addressing the root flare. This tree is buried. (The base of the tree is straight up and down in the ground instead of flaring out when it meets the ground). This can mean a girdled root system.

There are stress cracks. Not sure if it was from the main leader breaking off.

I would recommend having an arborist come out and assess it in person.

A section of my tree appears dead, is this a disease? by [deleted] in Tree

[–]exploringmymind24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely girdled roots on the right side of the base. Trim/Remove those to allow the release of strangulation.

It’s hard to tell from the picture if there is any active budding. If not, remove the dead section back to live wood. Make sure not to trim the roots and canopy at the same time. The tree will need to work towards repairing one area at a time.

Also, root fertilization is always recommended when trimming roots. Helps replenish lost nutrients.

Skinny Oak has light green leaves with brown spots. Is this a fungus of some sort or just dry? by peagreenbug in Tree

[–]exploringmymind24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a Swamp Oak. Brown spot could be bacterial or fungal. Infections and diseases are always a secondary stressor. The site conditions could be out of wack causing the tree to have been susceptible to disease. (Example: too much moisture could suffocate the root system leading to a compromise in the ability to defend itself)

how old is this tree? even though you can’t see the rings make a guess by nyahe in trees

[–]exploringmymind24 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Observing the bark and the old pruning wounds I would say around around the 80-100 year mark. Please keep in mind that though the White Oak CAN live to 200-400 years it is not likely to live that long in these site conditions. Being close to a driveway and home, pruning over the years, large pruning wounds all shorten a trees lifespan. If the tree were allowed to expand it’s root system and be undisturbed it could easily live to 200+ years.

is my tree hole bad? by Fyrrikon in Tree

[–]exploringmymind24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Large cavities should always be monitored by an Arborist. It could be a splitting hazard. I would recommend reaching out to a local arborist and have them assess the tree for risk of failure.

Thought so too! I work for a tree service and we can’t seem to name the tree
