Its usually rather easy, for single trunk trees. You folks refer to meters or cm, etc., whereas we often inches or feet and DBH is 4.5 ft. above grade. But it's 4.5 feet above average grade --- the middle between the high side and low side of the trunk if there is a slope. And that's typically one of few complicated things if it happens. A diameter tape is not essential. Almost any tape that has inches, feet, centimeters, etc., will work. This tree below has like a 2m difference between the trunks high side and low side.

Damnation Creek trail ... two hikers with their dog, pause to watch the last few minutes of sunset light through the coast redwoods.

Don't beat your head against the wall trying too hard for search results. The way it works is complicated and it changes monthly as search engines change. Even professional website people can't live up to promises after a point in time. That's because its getting saturated. When the first 3 companies in a niche get sites, its easy for all three to be on page one. Eventually 100 companies have sites. If all 100 hired the best expert, that guru couldn't get them all on page 1 or 2 if their life depended on it. It would be impossible. Too many people threw the old ways of getting business into the trash and went for just internet. Now they will realized that old school methods remain just as important.

After 3 years using the city of Portland at night for monitor background, I switched to this image yesterday. Bull Creek Flats in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Knowing what a deciduous plant looks like with leaves is useless for 6 months during the year if someone does not know what it looks like bare. Part of the strategy with poison-oak out this way is knowing what the other stuff is that looses leaves and how those look different. M D Vaden poison-oak link >Poison-oak, Poison oak. Poison Oak Photos. Images. Urushiol. Rash Information It grows over 120 feet tall out here, stems over 4 inches in diameter. Also as shrubs or ground cover barely 3 inches tall.

Review of a old favorite in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park ...

Another arborist pruned our tree. Got out the camera for a while.

A few more.

There were two men in the tree actually, and two on the ground.

I do scores of pruning, but not climbing or rigging, so I asked another arborist to take care of our honey locust tree. Southern Oregon Tree Care, Medford, Oregon. Here's a few photos. I think his side profile reminds me of the actor Tom Cruise ...lol

Most often a trade / TFP shoot, time for photos. Or if I suspect I may sell prints from the shoot, possibly paid, or split the difference. Like the photo on the photo book cover a number of posts earlier, I pretty much knew in advance that I was going to sell that photo like on the book cover. But I've done scores of trade shoots where the women, or some guys, get the photos for their own use too.

Same young woman ... just posted this one to her mom's facebook tonight ... Jedediah Smith redwood park.

Not the same. The previous photo a couple posts ago and from past months was Kiera of Crescent city. The last red dress woman is the girlfriend of a friend Chad in Grants Pass, Oregon. We went exploring together and later that day took some photos for her ... she is part native American (Blackfoot). Even more recently, I took some portraits of Kiera's younger sister in the forest and at Crescent City. She may become my new forest model now that Kiera moved to San Diego.

Someone could try a "mohawk" hair cut on that for a while, then easily crewcut it off and return to the same hairstyle again.

Felt like sharing this photo again. It seems very peaceful and relaxing. We sold our home and have an offer on a house 280 miles south in southern Oregon. That will put me just two or three cups of coffee's drive from the redwoods after we move this June 10th. But buying, selling and moving is hectic. So photos like this one are especially enjoyable at present.

Not sure if the UK, etc.. has a champion big tree registry. But the USA has one as well as for each state. I checked some numbers last week, and realized that coast redwood surpassed General Sherman giant sequoia's 1321 points by no less than 40 points. Its actually a wider margin but I just want to leave it at 40 for now.

I would put less value on them than a new one. If they made it for a year and you gave me the choice between a nursery-grown specimen and one of those, I would certainly pick the nursery-grown. After two years of growth, I think the value would become near equal. At least for the one on the left side because its form is reasonable.

The big difference in skilled pruning is not how much is removed, but the management of "leadership" in a tree and the rate of removals. Here is the full text from a page written a few years ago. The source page is: Text source > Pruning Skills and Management. Feel free to chime in on the angle of pruning and leadership management in trees and shrubs.

Boy Scout Tree coast redwood, the namesake tree of the Boy Scout Tree trail in Jedediah Smith park.

The log hasn't been wedged there long. A few weeks ago I was determined to scoot up that log, stand on it and lean into the other redwood for a photo using a remote trigger. But it was a bit steeper than I recalled so I skipped that idea.
-
I post so many in the coast redwood thread, I will see what others come up with. Although I might look through folders for another of a different species.

Any photo that refreshes the memory is a good photo. At first I wondered if your visit predated the fallen log, then noticed it behind your shoulder, resting into the other trunks on the right.
