Tree of Heaven Goes to Heaven - Tree Removal in Capitol Hill

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- Many a song has been written about a place called heaven. One song eluded to the fact that heaven was a place on Earth. In the 90's a rock and roll band belted out lyrics referring to a door they wanted to knock on in heaven. One of the saddest origins of a song was about the songwriters son passing away and crying in heaven. Of course, there is one of the most popular heaven songs that refers to a stairway that leads to the unseen place.
When it comes to trees, however, there is only one with the word heaven in it. That tree is the Tree of Heaven or Ailanthus altissima. The name is derived from the Ambonese word ailanto, meaning "heaven-tree" or "tree reaching for the sky". It is an evasive and ruthless tree that all but destroys any other species that tries to encroach on its territory. It does this by secreting toxins into the soil to prevent other trees from growing. It is considered a noxious weed in Australia, the United States and many other countries. The tree also resprouts vigorously when cut, making its eradication difficult and time consuming. Perhaps it should have the name Tree from Hell instead.
Join Peter, Russell, Richard, Noosh and Ron as they take on this spawn of a tree. Watch Peter expertly pick upwards of 3 tons of tree at a time with the crane as Russell takes point. Richard gets some time operating the grapple as Noosh and Ron take on ground duties. You'll also hear from the owner of the house explain why the tree had to come down and why he chose Seattle Tree Care to do the work.
We hope you enjoy watching the first crane job of the new year and we look forward to showing you more videos this year as we get 2024 underway. Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!

Awesome job brother
Thanks 👍
Great job guys!💪🤙
More to come!
Nice take down. No injuries, no damage, clients happy, hazard eliminated, replacing planting to retain the canopy cover. Beautiful.👌
I love the crane on large trunks
Definitely takes a lot of the back breaking out of the job!
Love the video big hi 👋 FROM THE UK 🇬🇧
Hi from Seattle!
Having to pull permits for a tree on your own property is nuts .
It’s definitely an added challenge and expense.
Especially a "Tree of Heaven" (Ailanthus, stink tree). Very inferior species.
Aka noxious weed
We have to do it daily here in Charleston SC
Nice job!!!
Thanks man! Aren't you located up here in the PNW too? I've seen a few of your videos and if I remember correctly you work with AH? Between you, Jake, August, Randy (Ryan), STC, Westcoast Saws...I could go on...we have quite the allstar cast up here.
never seen such a large tree of heaven in the southeast US. they grow fast and stop at half that size and then just sort of slowly rot away. maybe the heat and humidity shortens their lifespan
Glad to see fantastic equipment, making the job safer, more efficient, and easier on the crew for it.
The team definitely appreciates it! Thanks for watching!
Probably the best video editing on TH-cam amongst the arborist industry
Thanks! I really appreciate that. Years of practice and having a budget helps.
Watching this thing come down is so satisfying. I'm down in the Portland area and my neighbor had one sprout up two years ago and it's already huge. It's been menacing both of our houses, but we're at a loss on getting rid of it since neither of us can afford either the permit or the work to have it done professionally. I'm hoping this ice storm claims it.
We just removed a tree from a house. The video is coming up this weekend.
I prefer climbing and rigging over crane work and bucket trucks, But completely understand how these machines make a job super easy and safe, but this was a great video and very insightful to the story of the work, Great aerial views also, well done team. God Bless your 2024.
Thanks boss! Having all the right tools for whatever comes our way is vital here in the city where things are so confined. Thanks for watching!
I love your videos. Fantastic production value, and an awesome team. STC seems like a great company to work for. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! That means a lot! STC is a great place to work and we really appreciate you watching!
When tree of Heaven is live, it is one of the most flexible trees out there. We Call them stink trees too as they really smell bad when cut green. Taken a lot of them down here in Ohio and as kids, we would climb the smaller ones and swing out and we'd take a slow ride down. They would bend to the ground then slap back up. LOL
Pohon besar dan tinggi daun nya gugur , ( pohon mati ) .
Kadang kalau menebang pohon kering begini , takut salah injak di atas pohon
Nice job in taking this one down..
Have you guys ever had a permit denied for a removal??
Yes we have been denied permits before. The city of Seattle is quite strict and generally only allows the removal of completely dead trees such as this on or ones that are damaging nearby structures(cracking a foundation etc)
@@petergruenwoldt5394That just makes tree removal much more dangerous as you're climbing a more dead tree. Also, it increases hazards to the homeowner. The city should be sued for functionally stealing the value of the property by denying permits.
In my county we need permit for every tree does not matter if the tree is on your property and dead or not. They can even not give you permission for removal of tree
It would appear they would be liable for damage caused by it then. They tried that in my town.
In the city of Seattle you are required to get a permit for exceptional trees. The regulation is in place to protect the city’s canopy levels and to a lesser degree discourage it in the city limits without the proper insurance/training/equipment.
Do you have any seattle tree care merchandise
We dont currently have merch for sale but it is something we have talked about doing.
Don't know if you realized this, but the customer said you "was wasn't as professional in terms of the communication." Might want to edit that part out. It's making you sound bad.
He says "...was, was and is professional." But thank you for bringing it up. I try my best to make sure everything is both grammatically correct and socially acceptable when I edit sometimes things slip by. Not so the case this time, thankfully.
@@SeattleTreeCareI guess I heard him incorrectly. That's a good thing!
Love watching tree cutting videos, but bored on this one real quick
Expand on that. Why?
@@SeattleTreeCare I just did, never got as far as the tree cutting, which I enjoy, I tuned out in the real early stage with all the equipment and travel.
@@le0854 Fair enough. Appreciate the feedback. Its a tough act balancing everything people want/dont want and telling the full story at the same time.
Boom. Another tree bites the dust or most likely to the slabbing mill for upselling, removed by the company that truly does NOT care. Good job Seattle Tree Doesn't Care. Only a few more big ones left in the city; what will you do when they have all been removed? DOH. Hashtag shortsighted business decisions!
Obviously you didnt watch the video. The tree was dead. Should we have just left a dead tree sitting there to fall on the house or worse, a person?
@@SeattleTreeCare You are, as always, missing the point of my comment. I can see the tree is dead but I am saying what I am saying after years of listening to your clients and other residents of Seattle who have interacted with you, tell me about the many times you and your arborists have scared homeowners into removing healthy trees that should never have been removed, through numerous unethical tactics and claims, which are either false or misleading and biased, I am telling the world (well saddoes that float around youtube) that despite the misleading name of your company, you do not care (about trees, just money). Not to mention, how many of these were strangely measured to be a fraction under the size threshold that would have meant they were protected by the City's tree codes. Large machines and large crews require large invoices, which means your recommendations should be questioned far more often than they are.
