If you find yourself bored on a weekday afternoon check out the below site and view some of the great trees of NY: "Along with its millions of people, New York City is home to millions of trees, but only a few can claim to be the Great Trees of New York. Back in 1985, NYC Parks embarked on the first Great Tree Search of New York City, inviting citizens across the five boroughs to nominate trees of unusual size, interesting or rare species, unusual form, and/or historical significance. The selected trees became heritage trees to be celebrated and preserved for generations. As time passed, the Great Trees aged, and now only 65 of the original 120 trees remain. The ecol…

Pulled this from LinkedIn because it caught me off guard. Home owner said its “A Canary Island pine that was planted between Dominant Douglas fir. The fir’s were destroyed in a fire and the pine survived with damage”. Photo by Dan Wyatt. I still think it looks like one of those fake cell tower trees.

Found this randomly on reddit the other day. Someone in Florida found a palm tree growing through an oak tree. Both appear to be doing okay but wow!

Montrose, TX wants to widen their sidewalks but the way to do it involves removing 60+ oaks. Trees all too often come in last place when cities are looking to improve infrastructure. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/local/2023/09/21/463288/residents-near-montrose-have-started-a-petition-to-save-dozens-of-near-century-old-oak-trees/

Myself and another PlanIT Geo colleague were at the Fort Logan National Cemetery along with 200+ arborists, green industry professionals, and other volunteers to help prune, remove, inventory, and manage the trees at the cemetery. We were also able to plant 30+ trees! Saluting Branches does this every year nationwide so if you are at all interested in volunteering next year just head to https://www.salutingbranches.org/ to find out where your closest site is!

Watch Summer, Jeff, Luke, Krista and others as they demonstrate their skills and tell their personal stories sharing their passion for trees and what they do as arborists. This award-winning short-length documentary was filmed at the 2022 International Tree Climbing Championship held in Copenhagen, Denmark. Professional tree climbers from all over the world share their inspirational, sometimes mystical, connection with trees. Whether you are an arborist or not, we hope you will enjoy learning about arboriculture as an important career path in caring for this crucial asset in urban spaces—trees.

A bummer to see that a lot of pines were removed in front of the Bellagio so that they would not be in the way of spectators for the November F1 race in Vegas. https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/motor-sports/formula-1/trees-near-bellagio-fountains-being-removed-for-las-vegas-grand-prix-2900721/amp/

I'm sure many people have thoughts on Cottonwood trees like I do but there are many times that I cannot help but be in awe of their size. This 150 Fremont Cottonwood was once listed as the largest in the state of Utah and photographer/ tree explorer Brian Kelley was lucky enough to grab some photos of it in its declining health. Unfortunately has since been removed but we are lucky to have an archive of photos to see how grand it once was. https://www.gatheringgrowth.org/trees-of-significance/qsbvjckbuolh0ri3rna7z56r3umc8n

Pollarding

A few of us were chatting about the good bad and ugly about pollarding. I find it’s a good technique for the right situation, but few have been trained and experienced to execute the method well. Since I will soon be living in Europe where this technique is far more common, I’m posting a picture of the same pollarded Sycamore tree in my village from 120 years ago and present.

What is your favorite big leaf? If you've never seen a Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) it is one the biggest deciduous tree leaves I've ever seen.
