Haha got it in one...

My favorite line when someone ask's

 

"what are we going to do today boss..."

 

'Do what we do every day pinky..try to take over the world'

[Arbocop]

"Arboricultralist" or 'GP for trees"

 

Here's a question though, Do you think there is a difference Between Tree Surgeon/Tree cutter, Arboricultralist?

 

I do, In the same way a great surgeon will have very limited knowledge about issues out side their specialism, a GP has knowledge about a broad range of matters.

 

When I taught at the london school of arb I always defined an arboricultralsit as....

 

" a person who cares for trees, and large woody shrubs from seed through senescence and death where the main aim is one of amenity."

 

Not perfect I know, but i know many grate tree surgeons who are not IMHO arboricultralists as they lack the range of skills....

 

Discuss.........

 

PS one thing is for sure most of us cant spell for toffee

I do Tree surgeon for two reasons, one the obvious most people look blankly when aborist/Arboriculturist is mention, as I'm new to the industry, and still a trainee, don't qualified or experienced enough to consider myself an arborist.

 

is there a differance ,do explain

[JimM]

Tree surgeon. Go for the common denominator that the public understands.

 

Try to explain Arborist and after a few minutes "Oh, so you're a tree surgeon then?" You can hear them saying it already.

 

Is there a difference? Of course there is. But note that I don't claim to be what I'm not, just a tree-cutter with a few years experience.

[Boy English]

Tree surgeon..

 

I remember one job I quoted where I introduced my mate who works for me as "my partner kevin"

 

didn't think of it until I got back in the truck and kev said

" think you that one up, chap thinks were married"
