Is there any certified arborists that can tender tips on maintaing trees? I'm a big tree lover and love watching tree trimmers trim trees. How do you guys climb big palm trees? Any tips on pruning? I prune my trees; however, would like some further info.
Answers: As Cat said heading to the library is a good route. You can also check out sherrilltree.com, tcia.org, and isa.org for more information. Sherrill's catalog, which you can request for free I believe, has lots of informational illustration and mini-articles in it that describe a range of facets of climbing and pruning. You could also check around your nouns and see if there are any recreational tree climbing groups. I'm sure they'd love to own another member and they'd be capable of teach you some things in the region of climbing. It's a great time.
Hard to give direction on pruning in this brand of forum. There a lot to swot up. My best advice would be to walk to the library, and grab several books on tree pruning, and peruse them. You'll swot up a lot.
