We have and amazing wood ash tree in our backyard that is like to keep happy and healthy. So I'd like to have an arborist come out and take a look at it and make some recommendation on how to get it trimmed and generally keep it happy.
Anyone know of a good one?

Perfect timing, I'm in need of one as well.

Are you needing to take a tree down or just have it trimmed up?

I'm still looking for trees if someone is taking them down. Interested mainly in the trunks but depending on the side could also be interested in some limbs. For wood turning.

You paying? ;)

I've got a massive horse chestnut tree infecting my yard with it's filth. It's probably nearing 3 foot in diameter at the base

Neither, really. Got a young-ish 8-year old maple that seems to have an iron deficiency (but only on half the tree) and water-in iron supplements this summer really haven't helped. Needing an arborist who can assess it and maybe give it a nutrient shot. @johngottfredson would Mike be the guy for something like that?

I just sent him my address, he replied saying his dogs escaped on Friday and they ended up finding them close to my house. Happy this thread came up as I had been telling my wife we need a professional to look at all of our trees.

Mike Lopez, Angel Tree Care is good. 801.420.6055

He was past president of the Utah chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture, a nerd cult to which I belong. One of them, anyway.

Mike just came out and applied pesticide and fertilizer to my wood ash and made some suggestions on pruning. Super knowledgeable and professional. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah he was super knowledgeable, told me every species of tree, I was right on a few:) Also agreed on a few I want to rip out as they are pointless mess makers. Going to have him prune a few that I am not comfortable doing without a manlift, not a tree climber + chainsaw = missing limbs? plus if I go at the sycamore Im taking that messy bitch out for good, if it didn't provide a ton of shade in the summer and keep the house cool it would be gone cause it also takes up the best spot for a shed.

A small crab apple tree maybe a 3" trunk. And some dwarf hornets nest hiders can't remember the real name because that is what I call them, hornets nest hiders. He called them dwarf something, they are like a juniper shrub tree, ones I ripped out last year smelled good going through the chipper but house more spiders than I care for and so many hornets nests, most inactive.
Trunk of the crab apple might turn some good small bowls, no idea when I will actually end up taking it down though.

I'm not sure where to put this, but while driving in Montana a couple of weeks ago I saw many pine trees that seemed to be changing color. They are nearly yellow. Does anyone know what they are or the story with them?

What are yellow pine trees called?

The ponderosa pine, also known as the yellow pine, is one of the most widely distributed tree species in the West, growing from southern Canada into Mexico, and from Nebraska and Oklahoma all the way to the Pacific Coast.

Beautiful! Those trees are Western Larch (Larix occidentalis). They are a deciduous conifer, meaning they have needles and pine cones, but they aren’t evergreen. They have beautiful fall color, then look like a dead-ass pine tree all winter.

Interesting, I thought they were beautiful but I didn't know such a thing existed.

Thank you for the clarification. Do they grow in East Idaho?
