For too many people, “arborist” means a guy with a truck full of tools and shiny climbing gear, who does macho takedowns of big trees. There is SO much more to being an arborist…. Thanks for showing folks all the other aspects of our profession Blair!
There are several great youtube arborists teaching everything about equipment, chainsaw- and climbing techniques, but you're one of the few who actually teach about the trees and how to diagnose/care for them. Thank you!
I have been doing tree work forever, just a tad younger than you but every video I find nuggets of your wisdom and knowledge that aid in my ongoing education. Thank you so much for providing what is a unique quality to the utube tree work Video universe. Thoughtful analysis of tree problems that climbing arborist encounter, homeowners should be aware of and that we all learn from.
Siberian Elms are my 3rd most hated tree behind English Buckthorn (the stabber) and Russian Olive(the limb snapper). Every Siberian elm I’ve come across had significant die back and send out shoots at every opportunity, like they want to be a bush. Hope to see DED resistant American Elms take their place moving forward. I’ve seen an American Elm with a fully loaded crown of a triple trunk regrowth get loaded with 2’ of heavy wet snow and turn into an 60’ diameter igloo with branches touching the ground the entire perimeter, not a single branch gave.
Yeah, those are three ugly trim job trees for sure. Black locust has thorns and Date palms are nasty. I’m not partial to olives either. Lot of hard trees to work on.
As someone thankful to learn from these videos, I have a suggestion. You sometimes make observations and then move on to another tree without a concluding thought or suggestion as to what should be done. In this video, you mentioned high voltage wires, but then leave it to the viewer to imagine how this would impact your bid. Would you walk away? Add money to the bid for hazard work? Call in a crane? A more firm suggestion would help unofficial mentees like me.
Worked for guy was retired from power line clearing..he had city contract.and those elms where everywhere along with nasty silver maples wich i cant stand .alot people dont know but those trees were the replacement for ash tree being takeing out from borer.beatle s and diseases..what a ignorant idea ..the only trees that ended up being anygood were the hard 🍁 maples..few cheerys andof course oaks basswoods.and such..but in city in Illinois Wisconsin area ,midwest its seeious problem..both elms ..and silver maple..down here since ive moved by smokies..national park..there over 27 oaks..but in citys areas its the same issue along with alot of non - indigenous trees.. and wild cherrys.scarlet pear bradford pear and a 100 others
Anybody know how a tree stump keeps it's leaves green after it's been ringed all the way around over an 1" deep? I had some trees taken down but had them leave one tree stump left about 20 ft tall in order to grow a vine on it. But it put out an umbrella of branches and leaves at the top. So I took a chainsaw to it at about 5ft high and cut close to two inches into the stump all the way around. That was a couple of weeks ago and the leaves are still green and looking lively. What's going on there? It's been in the 90s here and I would've thought that it couldn't get any water to the top anymore ...
In later 80 s and 90 s ..a mentor was mandatory..as in life it should be ..anyway...its why the word of GOD .teaches becoming babes ,to learn from schoolmaster...Jesus christ

Well said

I agree, there is also a humble reverence of the trees arborist Blair Glenn brings
Thank you
👍🏻👍🏻
I work in the tree industry and I see the same thing. Arborists just want to do removals and they aren’t even good at tree care

Thanks Jon. Very kind words
Love that you included your little fail at the end, happens to the best of us hehe
The failures are sometimes the best lessons
that last tree looks one of those examples where some body just topped all the limbs years ago. and now its just forever a mess after.
Get Jorge a new blade!! 😂
Thanks Blair. These videos I enjoy the most.
That was a new blade. Big awkward cut
appreciate the guidance and wisdom!
👍🏻👍🏻
I haven't seen squirrel-damaged branches before. I didn't realize my dog might be benefitting my trees too.
Certain species are more prone to damage
Thanks Blair, you have definitely become a mentor for me. I really appreciate you🙏🏾
My pleasure Ben. You in the business?
Thank you, your videos are so incredibly helpful!
Glad I can help Callie
Thank you!
👍🏻✌🏼

Still thinking about IF I want to do it. So, no conclusion yet.
Good video.
Thanks, stick with me grasshopper👍🏻
Thanks for your video. wondering the thrown launcher , is it bought or done by yourself? thanks
Interesting Glad the dead limb missed you 🤪🤪👍👍
I cut it as my last cut and I thought Jorje pulled it down. I was picking up the check and CRASH! Embarrassing for sure.
@@arboristBlairGlenn Phew 😮💨
I have learned a lot from watching your videos.
👍🏻👍🏻
i am sure it is hard to find young people that actually want to work no less to learn how to do something.
Very true. Sad
I come here for the mentorship
You have been a contributor for a long time. Thank you

There is a reason the Bible is called “The Good Book”.

Or some cruel dog owner..be my guess. They used wire around tree..probly why so many wraps
I found other trees with the same so I went to fencing as my guess
