Climber or Arborist?

Arborist

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

An arborist is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the management and maintenance of amenity trees. Work can include tree surgery and also care of shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. An arborist is distinct from a forester, or from a logger. Those professions may have much in common, but the scope of work is different. Arborists frequently focus on health and safety of individual trees, or wooded landscapes, rather than managing forests or harvesting wood.

I think to many people kidd them selves that they are cutting the tree for the TREE'S benefit, very,very, rarely true, IMO.

 

Trees got on very well before I ever started hacking them.

 

don,t get me started again :001_tongue:

I like to think I prune trees correctly in a way that benefits the tree. Infact I'd go as far as to say I can't think of one job i've done that hasn't had correct pruning cuts. The tree compartments the wound off much quicker resulting in less chance of pathogen entry, basic stuff really.

 

 

Tell you what Dean, I'll get a surgeon to remove one of your arms, but don't worry he will do it properly, so you don't get infected, it'll be fine!!

 

Yes of cause we need to know tree biology and correct pruning cuts, I would hope all on here are aware of that, but don't pretend that removing a Branch , twig, or limb, is in the interest of the tree, in the vast majority of cases it is NOT!!
