wow that was cool. tough climb. another is a Boise 'De Arc, or referred to as a 'Boat Arc' tree. the inside is a tangled, thorny, twisted mess, and the wood is incredibly hard on the chains and your body trying to chip it. interestingly though, it's really easy to split and makes really good firewood.
There were a couple of trees like these in my old neighborhood. Had to wonder who planted them. Certainly not the homeowner. You do see the darnedest things. Don't know that I'd like to ride that tree to the ground. Thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately the way you get skilled as an arborist over time is by having things go wrong. You correct the method and develop useful skills that prevent the mistake from being repeated. So many successful habits are learned from screwing up!
Gaspar Calderon boy, my chippers are really getting old. I have 4. Newest one is 2002! Have an old Asplund (chuck and duck), that I bought new in 1989. My first chipper was from 1955!
I thought they only get up to 5 ft wide? And the roots arent invasive for the foundation. I'm so lost. Gardener planted a total of 15 3-ft Italian Cypress trees about 2 ft apart.
So they kept a tree that will most certainly cause foundation problems because the neighbors like the shade and blocking.Are you kidding me?If it were my house ,either the neighbors could pay for foundation damage or they could k.m.a. and the tree is gone.
like a rock I agree but I also understand the idea of not pissing off your neighbors when you first move in. I’m sure the neighbor will understand when they see it.
@@arboristBlairGlenn You can say that again . Come to think of it , another guy did it with 4 or 5 mesquite trees. Who even goes out and buys mesquite trees in South Texas ?
Is it ok to remove deadwood from a red oak in the summer? With the research I have done, there have been lots of conflicting opinions. I would appreciate your input. Thanks
I think that we are all familiar with the saying that everything is bigger in Texas. Well, we are gonna have to add 1 more State to that saying...LOL..!!
I’ve always wondered what an old Italian Cypress that hasn’t been pruned would look like.
These trees often get similar shaper here in Norway, although slightly slimer.

Michigan Mister it was tangled and sharp. Just hauling brush drew blood.
Your content is my favorite thing about RUclips. Keep up the great work!
Justin DeRosa high praise indeed. Thank you

Do a video on your chippers, I’m interested in your equipment

cypress are recognisable by their branching structure.
And so much more

Ricky R the tight growing space and crowded rooting will likely keep them smaller but this video shows what they can become.
@@arboristBlairGlenn got it. Sincerely appreciate your reply..
interesting job
James Evans interesting tree.

Interesting day when you've got to bring wire cutters to trim a tree.....😁
Thanks for the video. 👍
Duncan Mac didn’t show where the chainsaw found the wire.
@@arboristBlairGlenn Oh crud, you did find it with the saw....I hope no damage was done....
Duncan Mac nothing that 15 minutes with a file can’t fix😊
Somebody planted three of these in a row , under the power lines , on the road to my house . 15 acres , and nothing else on it .
Chuck Balyeat Need to look up when planting

Incredible tree.
Daniel Birkholz I could spend another full day with all the small dead stuff in this tree

Evan Hooten deadwood can be removed at any time of the year
Thank you, sir
Hey you got a shout out on Fine Woodworking live.
Josh Osborn awesome!!
how deep can you plant this type of tree so it will not fall over ?
Not past the root flair. Soil and trunks don’t mix
where little electric saws r good" i reckon
