So, I bought my home about three years ago. Suddenly, my two young cherry trees (guessing 4-5 years old) took a steep decline this summer. In looking for signs of pests or disease or animal damage i come across something I missed- the flare. I did a lot of research on their care in the beginning but missed this part. My cherry trees have NO flare! I thought it was my fault they were sick because I dug a shallow berth and gave a deep soak this summer. We’re in the high desert of Arizona. I wanted the roots to be able to expand. Anyway, I carefully removed soil away from the trunk until I found the first so called ‘root’. I believe this is the flare? It was approx 4-5 inches under the top soil. What do I do now?? It’s sad because I’m trying to recall the last time I saw the proper flare of any tree. It’s been over thirty years! It annoys me to realize these contractors and most businesses do not know their profession anymore. Disgusting breach of trust. Having a business or running a nursery automatically insinuates you know what to do. It is expected. Basically a breach of trust. I do not want to hire someone to trim my tree or do construction who lies about their workmanship. Like the expensive heated driveway and long established tree that is dying. Both are shamefully a waste at the fault of the so called professionals. When I bought this house, a 30 yr old pepper tree was overgrown. I made an appointment, then researched it. We had a nice discussion about the trees needs because I had an idea out the topic. He and his crew did a fine job. But now, knowing more, I’m wondering…why the missing root flare was not brought up? Also, He didn’t warn me of the twelve+ inch rocks placed around the entire trunk base along with the (five inch deep)palm sized rock which extends six feet beyond the boulders.🤔 I moved the large ones a long time ago and have been suspicious of the others. Now I am sure it is not good especially with that thick black plastic liner under my top soil and all that rock. The land needs nutrients to bring out foliage which produces our weather and brings water and life! I hate when I see trees being cut down. I will always point out that life is being killed. I appreciate you and your video. I don’t own an arbor business, but I own several trees and bushes the bees rely upon every summer. I hope to God these cherry trees don’t die. Should I remove the dirt around my pepper tree too? I’m trying to rid the yard of those rocks and plastic layer. I want a garden for myself and my chickens. I have a black thumb, slightly lazy but I care enough to try. This is the reason I am worried because I have killed all my plants I’ve ever tried to own. 🫣Now I have trees…😬

What handsaw brand & leg holster do you use? It looks very handy.

Water sprouts are like hydra, cut one off, two more take it's place😅

I have 3 trees which have outgrown their practical usage losing light to the home. C-anopy reduction , dead branch, elevation, not screening the order schedule. invaluable video, many thanks

A new device for safe application of glyphosate to woody weeds is being trialled at a number of small sites in Victoria, Australia. Instead if spraying, the device scrapes the stem of the weed and applies a small amount of glyphosate to the exposed cambium layer. This short video shows the device in operation. It’s not expensive and is easy to make from readily available materials. ruclips.net/video/ZeWEb1tFp04/видео.html

What pole saw are you using and where can I get it? Also like how you can go from rough to smooth tooth blade

Would also like to know how to keep the basal growth from returning?

Very instructive. Also great camera work. In many of these instructional videos the camera person follows the guy doing the cutting but doesn't show what is being done to the tree! Nicely done!

Liked the video, well explained. Thank you for posting

Fascinating to watch the whole process. Very educational.

Very informative, thank you

What do you do with the excess soil, rocks and wraps that may still be on the root ball, or other material from excavating, decompaction and aeriation? Is there a dumpyard for that stuff?

I work for Chalet in the Plant Health Care department and see this problem throughout the area. Sometimes it does start from the installation and other times they just keep adding mulch or compost. Good video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼

Very good

What's the objective behind the idea called arborism?

This is embarrassing to watch.

Around here we call them Suckers. Basil grows in the garden.

I found this very soothing and zen-like to watch (ironic, since the process is a bit barbaric lol).

Excellent video BIG HI 👋 FROM THE UK 🇬🇧

you should learn how to pronounce Arboriculture before you go on lecturing about it

terrible choice of trees to prune for demonstration purpose. That was your first mistake.. ONE OF MANY.. you said "epicormic shoots rob nutrients from the tree" ya right.. show some science to back that up... this is a perfect example of human centric thinking. Do you really think you know what's better for the tree than it does itself? Complete ignorance.. And did you ever bother to think why all those shoots popped up in the first place.... here's a little hint... over pruning... which is what you just did... You totally gutted that tree and it's only going to fill back in with more and more sprouts.. all those sprouts are going to look terrible. This is a perfect example of how not to prune a tree.. You and the guy who previously over-pruned this tree have created a long-term maintenance issue. Your focus on collar cuts also shows a lack of understanding. Deadwood won't rip into the trunk. Collar cuts are unnecessary on most of that small stuff, Leaving stubs on small cuts won't hurt the tree, and can actually be beneficial in fruit trees that get a heavy pruning. You basically just sat in the middle of the tree and massacred the interior growth... the only place I saw any crown reduction was in the title.. and low limbs do more than provide screening for the house and street. They serve an important purpose for the tree, but your human-centric viewpoint doesn't get it. Anyone watching should know that what you see in this video is not proper pruning. Gutting a tree like that is frowned upon. This is exactly the type of over-pruning that should be avoided.

The "Nice, white, live tissue" drinking game would be deadly.

At 34:35, I realize your proposed safe method is the same method I did a couple years ago where I did it without knowing the implications of sloppy cutting methods such as an insufficient undercut. I had an overhead rope clipped into my upoer ds, a lanyard around the branch clipped to lower ds. I still got pulled into and pinned against an approx. 10" oak branch. I tried to cut my wire core lanyard unsuccessfully to free myself, and then, because the branch tips were close to the ground, I had my ground guy lift up on the tips, which freed me. I've learned to always try to do a better undercut and sometimes 1 or more additional kerf /safety cuts when I have to cut a branch I'm on.

Small crispy dead wood generally doesn't tear and can be taken in one piece if you cut fast enough.

Wow there was a nice tree under all those sprouts. That thing was in dire need of pruning.

I missed what kind of tree that was. Looks almost like a live oak but your in Illinois so I doubt it.

chainsaw!

Looks great after pruning. Very informative video.

craftsman at work , really enjoyable my friend , got a lot of useful info from this so thankyou very much 👍👍👍👍

Thanks!

Is that Phill?????

This is the most satisfying thing to watch

i cant this guy seriously. Anyone who wears a mask while talking into a microphone is cooko.

❤🌳

Yes yes yes, thank you 😊 🙏 I bought a 30 gallon shantung maple and had the nursery plant it (I was scared to screw something up) but they didn't pull any dirt away from the flare. I recently did that and found 3 roots that were digging into the tree already and it's only about 3 inches around. Got those cut off and put the mulch and dirt back carefully to avoid covering the flare. I hope it helps my little tree in the long run. I do think it's suffering from a bit of late frost, but the roots would have most assuredly caused an issue in a few years. Thanks for the video!

Thanks

Awesome 🪵🪓🌳🪵🌲🪵🌳🪓🪓🪓🪓

Very well put together!! Great 👍🏻 information also.

Was a nice tree in there after all! 🌳👍

Found this wonderful video because I was looking for a picture of Rooti for a discussion of adventitious roots. It is going at the top of my "to share" list! I know this is for industry workers and arborists. I am trying to develop recommendations for homeowners and what, if anything they can to fix minor root problems themselves, if not too complex or long term. Also, what can they do to get their landscapers to start reversing this process. Is there any situation where it can be done gradually? People love their landscaping crews and don't like to criticize or tell them what to do. I am trying to get my city to tell homeowners to stop overmulching Right of Way trees. Thanks Daniel! You are always an inspiration to me.
