Large Tree Pruning

Certified arborists with the Urban Tree Alliance climb and prune a large hackberry tree to remove hazardous deadwood, provide clearance over a garage, and assess the structure of the tree.

11 years ago you created this channel, you'd be over a few million subscribers if you'd of kept making videos. Thanks for your knowledge!!!

[@armondjackson7225]

I gotta remember those fancy terms I could probably charge more for my trimming lol. Good job guys 🤙🏽

[@ropeburnorg]

That foldy foot move on the rope while he climbs up is awesome!

[@ohiodeerhunter21]

The first pruning cut you made came out really nice and clean.

[@grahamrothwell8236]

Thanks for this information. Just starting to prune a large tree at the back of the house and found you advice helpful. Using rope to tie the branches prior to them being cut make the job easier and safer. Only removing small thinnesh branches but they are heavy and the rope ensure no sudden movement when cut. All keep well.

Awesome Job, Awesome Learning Thank You for Your Video ! Great Video !

[@nyacoustics8373]

high skill level to do all if this.

[@TallestOne]

[@ed0985587]

Looks like a fun job. Fly around like peter pan all day long..

[@fancentral4662]

This was good. Thanks for posting

[@cmarbormaster]

Good job guys.

[@ttfitzgerald]

Great video.

[@anands5661]

how on Earth did the guy climb up the rope with his hands and feet like that?

[@barrytanenbaum4157]

You have a backbone made out of steel! Be safe! :)

[@TheFairday]

Very informative, but I would like to have seen the finished project. I am trying to explain to a friend that proper pruning does not mean to leave a leafless stub when finished. He needs to see the beautiful, still-natural-looking pruned tree.

[@sunnysacto]

Trees hate looking like a witches broom that have many weak branches

[@billrobbins5874]

Agree 👍

[@cindyperez5142]

Pole Chain Saw

[@GregariousAntithesis]

Don't understand why you don't use chain saws.

[@calebwillhelm2635]

Good pruning saw and skill isn't much slower

[@Duda4real]

wait a second... Did anybody see them wreck that fence?

[@GODBLESSAMERICAONE]

Would love to know; What brand and size pruning saw and holster (sheath) you use?.. Thank you, great video, work safe... God Bless...

[@markc3197]

You know they make this thing called a sawzall

[@Whisper0ak]

...and it's really heavy

[@CallOfApache]

Easy money

[@zapblam]

What did the homeowner decide with the included bark situation?

[@CONCERTMANchicago]

Subordinating or heading back limb would slow down its girth rate, allowing for more optimal growth rate ratio of attachment system. Thus no longer Including "Included" bark in growth process. If this was codominent stem union, then forget what I said. American Hackberry are like Red Oak family, live 120-160 years. Hack related to Elm, and resembles Ash.

[@Neznisgip]

Question : I have a large Tulip Popular that has the same issues as this tree. The leaves that stem from the union are turning yellow. While the other leaves are healthy and green. My concern is that it will kill the entire tree if this large portion is removed. Typically, what is the largest diameter limb that can be removed without killing the tree? I like the option of using a cable, but im afraid it's too large. The tree is about 15 feet from the house, and overhangs the roof.

[@kevinvanbrunt7498]

Not sure if you got an answer to this question yet. If there is no active failure, visual separation, then the yellowing of the leaves are probably not due to the union. Check the base of the tree and see if there are any girdling roots, roots that grow in a circular motion and make contact with the trunk. These can restrict water and nutrient flow to that section of tree. If you could take out the whole leader would depend on the tree age/maturity, size of the leader, and overall amount of foliage that would be removed along with it. Sounds like a cable and bolt along with some weight reduction (out at the tips of the defected limb, not on the interior of it) could save/preserve it. Of course this is just my thoughts without actually seeing the tree. Hope this helps

1:59-4:08 how to rope off a branch and not destroy people or property below!

[@tom8181]

He called the tree bitch actors @ 11 sec in put on closed captions to read it

[@junker4232]

***** LMFAO!!!

[@craigd8922]

Please show us what equipment to use like the ropes and pulleys to use to perform this kind of work. Is DIY's such as me do not know what equipment to use and when to use it. Thk.

[@jeremiahsandler]

this type of tree climbing is not for DIYers.

[@craigd8922]

K

[@treeman2182]

Craig D definitely call a licensed, Insured, certified arborist to preform tree pruning and removal.

[@SlightlyWetFart]

How do you get the rope that high in the tree to begin with?

[@Whisper0ak]

Watch at 0:30 They start with a small string with a weight on the end and they throw the weight by hand up into the tree around a strong limb. Then they can use the string to pull their rope up and over the branch.

[@SlightlyWetFart]

@@Whisper0ak thank you :)

[@TheTreeSeer]

With bad forks there is a 3rd option--reduce!

[@PaulJohnsonBCMA]

Nice to see hand saws in the tree rather than always reaching for a chainsaw.

[@TheTreeSeer]

Paul Johnson Yes, if cut size is specced

[@richellereynolds881]

Was this video shot in the Pacific Northwest?

[@jakegilly6438]

Did u guys access the tree using SRT?

[@jesuschristfirst5775]

How do you get the rope to stay tied up in the tree and wear can you buy that at?

[@camgere]

You can buy forestry and arborist equipment online. I've been happy with the products I have bought from treestuff.com.

[@cjslandscapingllc7694]

No chainsaws ?

[@epicjourney6341]

That's what I was thinking. I love to have a little stihl 150 one those kind of pruning jobs.

[@cjslandscapingllc7694]

EpicJourney exactly ! So much easier

[@epicjourney6341]

Do you climb much?

[@cjslandscapingllc7694]

EpicJourney most of times ! I like when I’m on the ground better lol

[@Whisper0ak]

Why use one if you don't need to? Those little hand saws are much lighter, dexterous, quiet, and razor sharp. For small cuts like that it's easier than using a chainsaw. Don't take my word for it, professional arborists regularly use these in addition to their chainsaws. Look around KZbin and you will see.

[@michaeljibarra69]

Bro that's unnecessary. Stand on the garage with a pole saw and lower them if there is fear of damage

[@charlessallet1709]

michaeljibarra69 😂😂

[@boosterboypurp4684]

mmmmmm

[@aatoys001]

extreme danger- not best practice nor practical
