I love the fact that this isn't just another tree trimming channel, and that there's so much intellectual dialogue about arboriculture and things like organic landscaping. Two thumbs up!
Exactly, there's a million videos all over on the craziest zip line or rigging set up but I don't think anyone else shows the proper ways to actually take care of a tree.
@@alexmatthews2332 Yup…to watch most RUclips videos, you’d think arboriculture only consisted of big, dramatic takedowns…but, so often it involves little, fiddly pruning of ornamental trees, awkward brush drags through narrow paths between house and garage, thoughtful assessments of risk/reward of whether to remove/prune/leave alone, and endless hours of cleanup!
My cat needs that fungi book. She, too, is very interested in fungi. As i was rolling my trash can to the road this morning, she was on total of the wood chip pile eating all the mushroom heads off. I've seen her do that in the garden several times as well, so I guess it won't hurt her.
I saw A Natural History of Trees by Peattie on your shelf. I have the central and eastern version and it is one of my favorites and the stories are entertaining. Thank you for sharing 🙌
Blair, no matter what I'm doing or what job I've had whether I'm actually learning or not if I feel like I'm not learning I get disinterested. Fortunately, tree work because every tree is different there is always something to learn. Aron
my most favourite tree book is Meetings with remarkable trees by Thomas Pakenham. Don't forget to vote for European tree of the year at the woodland trust
European tree of the year? Seen some amazing avenues of tree in England. Lime, maples and Elms I believe. Cedar of Lebanon at some estate (castles) that were ancient. How can one choose?
@@arboristBlairGlenn it's not so much about tree species but about a particular tree. Every country in Europe chosen a tree and then there is a European wide chance of winning . It does get areas and places noticed and some of the trees are truelly remarkable
I have two dwarf cherry trees. One is a single stem and the other is shooting up new trees. I was thinking of digging some up as root stock and then grafting on a branch. But then I guess that would become a problem tree as well. So pear tree and cherry tree resources is something I should look for. That space does look awesome as a learning area.😊🙏🇨🇦
Thanks for posting some of your fav books. PLEASE do a video on Mike Majors! I have been trying to find out more about him for 20 years! THANKS in advance.

Thanks. I can show tree after tree removal too but what does that teach? Exciting yes but I’m trying hard to be the online mentor.

PS, we LOVE your longer stories. They're always a fun listen. The longer the better.
Careful, I can be long winded🙄
I keep learning, one way is watching the young Blair Glenn. In another 4 months I will be 75. ;-)
@@jenkinseric2 ahh, you’re still a young man!
Nice that you keep your dear friends memory alive. It's so refreshing to hear. Love your stories.

4:21 let's stop shortly and give respect to that CRT Sylvania TV with VHS and DVD player integrated :D
Old school technology
Book are great
What are your favorites Joe?

Mike moved to Alaska but got in trouble there. Heard from his friend Ken that he was back in Calif but not doing well. Sad
Here is Mike when he worked for me. This short should have gone viral.

Here is another bit of Mike Majors. Go to 1:50 where he starts.

Had to go way back for this one. Mika at his best!
Most COMPLICATED JOB EVER!

@@arboristBlairGlenn Thank you Blair!
Not a mention of author Michael A. Dirr? Thanks for the tips!
So many books, so little time
If you’re looking for some new reading material, I recommend Bringing Nature Home and Nature’s Best Hope by Doug Tallamy.
Doug Tallamy, our pope. Blair's a bishop! Or is it Cardinal? Bad Catholic here!
@@kooale Yep, the clergymen of horticulture/arboriculture!
Will look for it
@@arboristBlairGlenn Not sure if you could tell, but those are two separate books: 'Bringing Nature Home' & 'Nature's Best Hope'.
I'm currently reading the wild trees from richard preston about climbing old growth redwoods
@@peelnation good book
@@arboristBlairGlenn waiting on yours
@@peelnation I’m about a third of the way done. My outline just keeps growing
@@arboristBlairGlenn looking forward to it. I'm four years in & appreciate any wisdom
I think that Patrick Masterson has renamed this RUclips channel "TreeMuggs"
I don’t understand that term. Mug?
