Expedition Old Growth facilitated a climb at the Trees of Mystery's brotherhood tree. About 10 feet diameter at 110 ft.

Exploring. A certain tree is not shown, but behind those trunks stands one of the world's largest Port Orford cedar. It was an unexpected find. This photo is taken across a tiny valley from one side to the other.

Electric Hand Pruners ... expensive, but worth it !!
mdvaden replied to mdvaden's topic in General chat
This house was the straw that broke the camel's back for my hand and deciding to get these pruners. I will use them most for small trees like fruit trees, but I suspect I may be repeating this vine on a yearly basis. There is 370 feet length of this Wisteria and stout Port Orford cedar arbor

Electric Hand Pruners ... expensive, but worth it !!

You are exactly correct. The danger was apparent from day one using these. Someone should not make a cut if looking another direction or can't see their hands. With a hand pruner, someone can basically get way with cutting using Felco 2 pruners looking backward at a class of gardeners learning, for example. Although that's not best. But with electric pruners, it would be crazy to look back at a group while cutting during a training session. -
Is that 50 years old? Or could it be even older? Fun video to watch regardless.

Last autumn I bought some Zenport electric hand pruners for occasional fruit tree work. But it started with a mega wisteria arbor around a house that took days and days. My dominant or right hand feels the best it has in a few years, and I only need to use the pruners every few weeks or so. I also bought left handed Felco hand pruners to wear with right handed ones, plus a Felco mini lopper to use in conjunction. The brand I chose for the electric pruners was the Zenport ... VIDEO > >

I also enjoy pausing to look at the old stumps. This one is near Avenue of the Giants. Even the stump has a fragment of living cambium remaining.

Is that because pulleys store heat from friction whereas a ring let's mild warm disperse along rope?

This was a pleasant spot to relax a few hundred feet off one of the trails.

It rained a lot this week ...
-
Given time, it should be possible. New Zealand planted a small forest and many of the redwoods there are growing excellent. UK's climate seems well suited to coast redwood.

Heading back in the next week or two. This valley looked very nice on a rainy autumn day.

During a rain storm the light is wonderful in the redwoods ...

The redwood forest was glorious last week with fog, rain and bright autumn leaves in the under story.
-
The forest floor has become much more colorful this month after old needles shed and rain saturated for extra color. This is a favorite resting spot along a Boyscout Tree trail.

Been enjoying road shots lately.

Poison-oak in the redwoods showing its autumn colors
-
Avenue of the Giants last week. The vines on the trunks are poison-oak, which also turn red in autumn.
-
Autumn in redwoods. There's fog in this week's forecast ... time for another drive to the redwood coast. Thinking Thursday and Friday, and maybe Saturday too.

Another water reflection photo from Redwood National Park area. It was the last hour of daylight and Chris wanted to try out his new camera. This seemed like a good place to let him practice. About 1/2 hr. later is was too dark for photos. the green and yellow left is bigleaf maple and the red and orange is vine maple. Those are common in these redwood parks.
