Thank you

Not sure I understand the music, I was waiting for you to make love to the machine

Love you and the work you do! Thank you for the education!

Yep mulching works the best for living soil. it's so hard to get people to think differently except do it yourself and then when they ask you why everything's so wonderful at your place and you tell them why/how... they then say I can't do that where I live......... But they can if they just take the time to think about it.

Trees destroy everything around them 😅.. Specially jacarandas , that’s how I got here.. Searching for jacaranda roots 😂

I love trees, but this video is about as unfactual as they come. In one segment you say that trees don't break foundations in houses, but in the next segment you say how the roots get bigger and break sidewalks... you know, the same way they damage foundations. I just came from another video where they hydro-excavate around roots of a tree that engulfed a pipe in multiple locations and cracked it in multiple places due to the tree growing and shifting, basically everything here is BS.

This is so cool, I walk past those worms everyday

Thank you, Excellent

I work in construction and have a landscaping business. site whatever publication you want. it isn't correct info jut like the media driven jabbaroo. tree roots definitely crack house walls and pipes 100%

An answer to my question on how to till under a tree without hurting roots. Thank you!

Hey - I just noticed that this transplant was done on an LDS Temple site. Do you know which temple this was for?

I recently took an interest in trees and came across your video. Awesome content

Thank you❤

We want this tree 🌳 plant

Absolutely amazing! Never met another so detailed step by step guide, with full explanation of each step. Thank you very much

Thank you very much for plain and straightforward explanation. Here in Ontario, Canada we also have a lot of trees planted with mulch volcanoes. Unfortunately in my backyard last spring i have planted a linden and several cedars rather low, and when trying to free the root collar, it goes below the grade level, with rather heavy moist environment. I wonder, is it advisable to replant the trees in this situation? I asked a couple of experts (from tree care companies), and they recommend to "wait and see if trees would die", but i'm a little sceptical about such advice

We receive many comments about this video is not factual. For those people - and all future posts - here is the research citation: Roberts, J., Jackson, N., & Smith, M. (2013). Tree roots in the built environment. Arboricultural Association. Here is a link to the Google Scholar preview of this book: books.google.com/books?id=afiZn2h8QjEC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false In addition, it's worth noting that we have 50+ staff engaged purely in tree preservation (no removals), which means we do a lot of work in the soil and with roots. Our observations from the field align with the research. Roots generally do not cause issues with roots and pipes.

That is an excellent explanation of the DRT, I'm an older climber and the process you have with the Lanyard helps a lot, I have done this for some time but someone who is just starting and not to grips yet with the technique of DRT would definitely help them grow confidence and get in the tree, well done.

Poplar tree roots penetrate my garage wall and foundation, cracking them. The tree roots are still stuck there and i m unable yo pull them out. You are so wrong. Owner of poplar trees bougnt that little tree for $10 , grow mature to destoy my property and will cost me more than $20k to fix it

My neighbour's polar tree roots grow under the fence, lifted up the fence and pushed them into my yard. You are tree lover that why i will not hire your kind to protect my property

Does filtered water work?

Trees grow roots further around in years no matter where you plant them.

Just got a copy of this book for free at a botanical garden sale and it's absolutely the best! Not only did it give me great advice for planting my new saplings, but my whole family is so excited to start growing and giving out free native trees and shrubs. I think I know what to give as holiday gifts this year. ;) THANK YOU!

The problem with this video is no solution was presented that didn’t result in “pay us to come out”.

Tree roots do indeed break pipes and infiltrate pipes with nearly microscopic voids or minimal porosity. I’ve literally had a section of sewage piping replaced for the tree root damage to come back the next year and do the same thing.

Okay so I'm in Hawaii about to prune my puakenikeni. I've already done it wrong once. But my questions are do I wait until December to prune it? And is it best to put the branches right under the tree for them to compost naturally or move them to one of my compost piles where i put cut grass, etc., etc?

Great, but ..... wast 's the reason of the background MUSIC ?

Where do you find reliable information about seed storage and stratification requirement? I'm up in the northern hardwood forest region, so I've got some different species that you're working with, although some of the more upsetting projections of climate change have me wondering about the wisdom of assisted migration...

Thanks for these informative videos. I live in southern Vermont (zone 5) and would like to do something similar with native trees and shrub species. It sounds like you have stratification and the beginning of germination happening the first winter and then actual growth happening that first spring. Would you then be planting those seedlings out at the end of that first growing season? In my region specifically I'm worried that winter temps might be too low possibly for the stratification/germination and possibly also for the seedlings over another winter. Any clarification or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to do a lot of similar work to what you all are doing, just further North. Thanks again!

What would you recommend for a shadier yard that doesn't get six full hours of sunlight? I want something low and mowable, but fescue just doesn't grow. I used to have clover, but I suspect the pre-emergents (which I no longer allow my yard service to put down) killed it. It's a yard that gets soggy in wet conditions but you know this area -- it's drought or deluge. Right now it's just dirt and mud.

Shrub pruning large areas is like a high level mastery

Wonderful!

Hi, this is really helpful but is some wood chip not suitable?

The yucca plant or palm tree kills trees leaf & limb + adam coffman

Sorry brother. Definitely not true. Tree roots grow under, around, over pipes, foundations, gas lines, and many other structures. As that root grows in diameter, they have immense power to add pressure to a water line or concrete slab - just like lifting a sidewalk. They break walls and foundations all the time. I am an expert in this field. I have seen thousand pound sections of concrete heaved by roots and push them into the asphalt on a street many times over. Plenty of evidence to back this up. I suggest taking your video down before it gives you a bad rep. Keep on learning Bro! Cheers

I live in sunny Florida where Pine trees are in abundance. Some are older that the development where they reside. Some are thriving. Others are questionnable. One in particular is EXTREMELY tall, perhaps four stories high, and it has bark pealing off in clusters and the pine needles are falling everywhere. They are brown in color. Some limbs of this tree are now bare of leaves and needles. The tree is leaning. Can the tree be revived or should it some down?

Okkkk but I really want to plant a Rising Sun redwood (dwarf 8-12’ size) on top of a clay pipe, that is only a few years old, and looks great. Any advice on creating some kind of barrier so the roots can grow around the pipe? Someone please tell me yes it’s possible 😢 And yes this is the ONLY place I would be able to put it

Thank you for the demo! Gonna try the air pruning process this year for sure.

Awesome video. Thanks for the great info

I try to push the appearance of softer and more natural finishes rather than rigid structures in my finishes. Hand pruning is a wonderful skill that helps achieve that.

It's overly optimistic to say it won't hurt roots. Would you put your hand in front of its 1200mph blast?

This is gold. Thank you!

love this

I have a question. What if you already caused the hydra effect? Trimming only the middle stem still leaves the long leggy sides. Also what about the very long leggy branches that go down to the crown? Do you cut them at the base? If I just cut them shorter then I get the hydra… My shrubs are very overgrown (weigela, inkberry, dappled willow). I trimmed them and they over grew.

Thank you for reciprocating your amazing gifts, inspiring educational & ecological restoration work and celebrating life so generously. The stories. The healthy interrelated linked network of human & plant & tree communities. And now this beautiful new book of renewed indigenous wisdom. p.s. careful what you wish for, investors would probably require compromises in quality, attached strings, and max profits, lol, typical of the existing hegemonic paradigm we’re trying to topple

Hi, would it be possible to ask you a question about an oak tree that’s dying I have lots of tiny holes in the bark and there is a little bit of a red substance almost like red mold on the bark as well but it’s a huge oak tree one limbs died completely and another whole tree is dying. It’s back in my field, but it’s a prominent area and I don’t know if it’s possible to save it or cut it down I could send a picture. Is it possible to chat with you?

I like the hammer method. I will try this

Awesome! Conversely, can you consider making a video about saplings? They’re wonderful too, but many people see them as weeds! 😮

Thanks for the update. Will the railroad will pay attention and not use pesticides on the pocket forest?!

You have to get rid of the vines growing on trees
