Trees don't heal they compartmentalize. A smart arborist learns what the tree needs from intimacy in the branches not strictly a book.

I recently mentioned you and this video in one of mine(“The rest of a tree falls up” ) I’m a volunteer ATC sawyer dealing with blowdowns across trails and this technique is extremely useful.. I call it the square cut. Thank you!

Instead is it possible the canopy simply got hung up with the other trees next to it, as it started to fall. All that tension had too much time on its hands and barber chaired. As the barber chair breaks off and falls you can see the movement of the other canopies next to it. Great video, thanks.
@murphy4trees6 күн бұрын
only when the chair falls do you see the other tree moves.. no evidence that the tree was touching any other trees before that. I don't know where the original video is, and can't find it with a youtube search. If you ever watch the final art of the original video where he goes back to drop the rest of the stick, you can see him pushing on it by and the hinge won't break until he cuts all the way through it because it's hung up on the kerf... That's the best I can explain it here... if that's not enough, just trust me. I know what I'm talking about... thanks

How to Snap a rope
@murphy4trees15 күн бұрын
you think so???? me too.. that's why I had two ropes in the tree... 3/4" double braid and 1/2" true blue.... combined tensile strength is 20,000 lbs... skid loader weighs 9,000.. on grass max pulling force probably no more than 6 or 7,000.. notice that I didn't just gas it.. I backed off the accelerator for a moment as the ropes got tight, giving the hinge a coupole seconds to rupture... that was smooth and all in the script son... note: I just remembered that the sound didn't come through on this video so it's hard to tell that I backed off the accelerator from just the video.... I'll try to reload with sound

@murphy4trees23 күн бұрын
time will tell... I drive by on a fairly regular basis and the tree looks great from the drive-by.. I might do a follow up video in another couple years... You sound concerned that the rip will prevent compartmentalization... my response would be "so what?" A little decay in the limb isn't going to be a problem for 15 years or more if at all. There is only the weight of the re-grown limb to support beyond the decay. That's not nearly as much of a concern as if the decay gets into the main stem with all the weight of the top of the tree to bear. The teaching organizations have often discouraged reduction pruning because the limb doesn't have the same ability to compartmentalize as the main stem. That's how out of touch they are. The tree has its own intelligence. It doesn't compartmentalize the limbs so well, because it doesn't need to. So the only other choice would be to remove the stub. Do you think the tree would be better off without the stub?

Great job with you and the young man. You had pretty good communication, you seem similarly made. Only slightly cautionary thought is you both lean towards getting a little ahead of yourselves. You, Dan, though with all your experience, slow it down more readily. That's what you're doing though, showing this young man some 'tricks of the trade'. I really liked the way you explained the cut then actually got in there and rolled the saw over, WITH HIM, so he got the actual feel of it, instead of you just taking the saw over, or repeating words when the action was so much more meaningful. Now I've used too many words! Love your prayer. Wish you'd spoken it slower so semi hard of hearing me could understand more of it.

@bl9531Ай бұрын
Dumb question from Inexperienced home owner .. is the caution displayed by a high back cut and a wide hinge .. and I assume those conservative cuts necessitated 😊the rope being pulled by a skid steer to fell the tree
@murphy4treesАй бұрын
give yourself a little credit... yes.. the size of that hinge was the result of caution... I don't often have to sneak trees through the canopy of adjacent trees, but this one was going to be a hassle to rig out otherwise. I didn't want to lose the tree to the right if it got held up by the big tulip. That would have put the tree into the neighbor's propertry and they were kind of fueding... And I almost always use a loader to pull trees. And with such a fat hinge there was no other way to get it moving...
