  • Been at this for 51 years now. I’m getting old and I really want to give back before I’m gone. Check out my channel. Go back and see the old jobs. Learn from what I have done. Share with other folks who love trees and really want to learn!

    You are a mentor to me Mr. Glenn. I’ve been watching you for years and have been learning a lot. I apply your knowledge to my own trees and have seen the results over the years.
    Thank You!!!! I appreciate you!
    Take care.

    That thumbnail is of a floor marquetry piece I did for my last office in Saratoga. I used the grain direction of the wood to detail the objects. 9 different woods cut to a quarter inch thickness and glued to plywood. Used a router to make the oval in the floor after tracing this piece.

    Tress are precious to the beauty of our lands and give so much for life! Most people take them for granted and don’t appreciate their timeless beauty!
    Everyone should take a trip to the great Redwood forest.
    Trees are a gift of life from god.

    Ever since I've gotten into tree care, I noticed all the stuff my grandfather did wrong to our trees over the years. So now I've been trying to educate him on why it's wrong. Such as leaving 1-2ft stubs on limbs he removed.

    I've been a subscriber for a few years , always like the thought process and methodology of what you do , different species in the main to where I live but many things translate across . I came across a new to me tree on my property recently even though it had been there for a while but rather hidden , it's called properly a Aphananthe Philippinensis aka axe handle tree , so called because it's prized as a tool handle timber . Not too big yet but if it fruits I'll try to propagate some more , quite a nice looking tree .

      Trees are different but similar all over the world. There is a basic understanding that is pretty universal (or should I say “this worldly”.

    Tree topping is my biggest problem when I go out bidding. People have had their trees topped before and so many want to do it again or for those who haven’t want to do it even after I explain why not to do it.

    • @tmmtmm
      @tmmtmm 19 днів тому

      Once it's topped the damage has already been done I guess 🤷‍♂. At least they don't want it cut down after it's been topped - better a topped tree than no tree.
