Oaks and Herbicide… a Bad Combination

TCI Magazine Audio Edition ·

2025/02/01

BY SCOTT CARLSON, BCMA Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. We have all heard it. I believe it. I am an aging arborist in Iowa.

BY JEREMIAH SANDLER, BCMA I’ve had a number of consultations in Pleasant Ridge, a small community with many mature oak and early veteran trees, after a hollow tree failed onto someone’s house (nobody was injured).

How Do Trees Die?

TCI Magazine Audio Edition ·

2025/02/01

BY LINDSEY PURCELL It’s tough out there for trees, especially when they are trying to survive in the “un-natural” urban forests where we live. Trees tend to grow well on more natural, undisturbed sites like arboreal areas, but there is nothing natural about the built environment. Trees planted in suburban and urban areas require supplementary care and maintenance to keep them thriving and not just surviving. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org.

2025/02/01

BY ZACH SHIER, BCMA Soil and foliar sampling are not exactly a new science, nor are they new ideas in the world of arboriculture. However, it is my opinion that they are still underutilized or underemphasized in the field. As practicing arborists, we must use all the tools at our disposal to not only provide good service to our customers, but also to do our best to improve tree health.

Do You Know the EBITDA for Your Tree Care Company?

BY EDWARD MORROWFinancial jargon coupled with astronomical numbers. All splattered across a piece of paper or computer screen. What is this?! Your anxiety surges out of control. It’s just an income statement – profit and loss statement, or P&L for short. If we could just, maybe, alter this financial statement a tad. Just to condense it, to make it just a little more understandable. Image is everything – and all financial information can be grasped with the right financial presentation. Re...

The SRS Approach to Climbing Into Profitability

If you find yourself in a room full of elite climbers – they may be from different places and use different climbing hitches and gear – one thing is common: They usually light up when the subject swings over to SRS climbing. Stationary-rope systems increase ascension speed and facilitate more ergonomic work positioning. But is it possible to take an SRS approach to business and personal growth?

Do we have room? What are the hazards? ( How much lean does it have? Do we have the tools we need?” To determine if we can even fell the tree, we need to create a five-step felling plan. There are probably five or six ways to fell any given tree, depending on several factors. This article will explain a few of t...
