Thanks mate

Pretty good, Working entirely to much and not fishing or hunting nearly enough. The tree work is a fairly new entity in my business, so I am hammering all the videos and articles about the art as possible...so much to learn and FYI i never leave the ground...just harrass the guy in the tree about whats taking so long....

Thanks

Hello!

First of all, I´m sorry, cause my english isn´t very good, I understand what read, but is very difficult express myself...

Thank you, this web is very interesting and it is what i was looking for.

I just have a few years of experience, and traing to learn all I can, is hard and difficult cause I work for myself. The situation here is complicated to grow up in this field and expensive, but I thing if someone loves what he do, have to fight hard and tath`s what Im doing now.

Thank you again

Machold

Goin' gud, mate. Happy to be here.

It's going fine. It is taking me a bit of time to figure out where the various forums or threads are; I don't see a "Table of Contents" but I'll figure it out. I'm mostly just wanting to learn about trees for my yard, a small front and back yard in an old suburban subdivision near Los Angeles. I want to break up my small lawn by planting two trees in it, but I don't know what kind. Lots of folks here plant palm trees, but I want something more like a crepe myrtle or jacaranda. I want to upload a pic of my yard so you can see what I need.

I haven't yet figured out where the menu of threads is, so I'm still a bit lost. And to post a picture from my hard drive, "insert image" asks for a URL, so that won't work. I guess I'll just have to spend some time figuring this thing out, but I've been really busy lately. A big nursery under the Edison electric high tension towers by the 605 freeway just east of L.A. is having a big sale, so we went and bought some stuff even though it's pretty much guesswork at this point. We bought a small, 15 gallon crape myrtle but we're not even sure if it goes in the front yard or back yard yet. I want two trees in my small front lawn but my wife thinks just one would be better. We already have one old tree in the sidewalk easement that the county owns. I want to show you all a picture. Anyway we can get a 24 inch box tipu for $140 USD so we are probably going to go with that for the front yard. Is there a thread for homeowners landscaping their yards?

Make sure you have plenty of room for the aggressive roots on Tipu, and room for a large canopy. I really would not recommend a Tipu unless it is in a large area.

Things are great. Lately I have gotten the "green bug." Since recently purchasing my first house, ive been planting flowers, tomatoes, peppers, strawberry's, cantolope, and a Apple Pear tree that my mom grew for me off of her tree ( she grabed a branch that was growing at the base of the trunk bent it into a pot and it rooted itself, i planted it about 1 month after she cut it off the tree, and its doing great now.) And the latest is a magnolia tree i planted yesterday.

Its nice having a little garden. I have also been experimenting with renewable energy, solar panels, lots of fun. I seem to be spending a lot of time researching eco friendly projects. ( recycled materials and such) I especially get into it when i have 2 cups of black coffee in the morning like today...

Anyways thanks for all the great information, I only hope to learn as much as possible about trees, hey it might turn into a career of some sort one day.

calm down isues.

second-gen_monkey

if you look at the bar below the ads you will see pictures of folders with headers such as "Tree World > All About Trees > Non Tree Related chat > pharbo how's it going?"

if you click "tree World" it will take you to the main forum. theat is pretty much the table of contents.

i'd immagine the area you want to be in is "ask an arborist"

Eric, I've known I would meet you all my life, i've studied trees all my life, the shape of them and the growth of them and the artistic use of them. I am in tune with trees,. I live in a very dry place where a tree can make or break a place. I also have my own 7 yr old son, no lack of trees also , how bout u ? Cath.

I like the MS 361. Nice and light, but still has a fair bit of grunt.

Cathmantoo

Yep. can2.

Cathmantoo

Not so well. I planted many oaks around my fence line. I live in 12 acres. I had placed a plastic around the 2" trunks to protect them from the deer craking them with their antlers but all of a sudden they started dying. I checked and it seems that the plastic has caused some rot?decay? wounds? in the trunks that are now infested with something, as I see tiny holes. I want to save them, what can I do to help them heal and remove pests? Not only did I invest a lot of money but care deeply about their survival. It seems that I ignorantly hurt them with the plastic as we suffered here a drought and intense high temperatures this summer! Any help is appreciated and thank you for having this kind of chat rooms for people like me that don't know a thing about trees and their sicknesses.

Hi, Eric Let me guess, you post one welcome thread, then when someone new arrives you edit the original post with the new name and you look like a fortune teller right?
As for me I'm doing fine, I'm a welder by trade and I do cut all my own firewood, so am always on the lookout for safe ways of handling trees in tight or at least less than perfect conditions. With the price of everything going sky high, I usually buy most of my saws and tools at flea markets. My pet project at the moment is a Homelite 5-20 gear drive saw.
This looks like a real cool site. I've already gotten a couple of good ideas from it.

No fortune telling here, just destiny.

I hope that last post wasn't directed at me. If it was I can assure you I just found this site by accident about two days ago while I was researching chainsaw parts. I certainly had no intention of offending anyone, and if I did please accept my apologies.
