Hello my fellow human beings and welcome to my channel. My name is Fermin, also known as Fer or Fir, see the connection? The main objective for this channel is to bring entertaining videos related to arboriculture to fellow arborists and people that want to know more about the industry or are searching for a career in the arboricultural world. My goal is to bring joy and possibly attract people to this awesome industry. I invite you to come on a journey of excitement for the care of trees.
A little bit about myself.
I am a second generation arborist and grew up in Michigan, mainly doing crane removals. After being a crane operator and learning how to climb, I wondered if there was more information of a better approach on tree preservation (don't get me wrong, my family loves trees but their experience as far as preservation were limited). I decided to work for others and learn different perspectives and now I live and work in the beautiful Emerald City (Seattle).

Reduction pruning or topping? Pruning a couple big Douglas Fir's
zhlédnutí 43Před 2 měsíci
What's up my tree people! In this video I am pruning a couple Douglas Fir's. One in particular has a very heavy lean towards a neighbors house and our main objective is to prune for end weight to prevent failure on this particular tree. Some reduction was needed to accomplish this goal which leaves us with the question, is it reduction or topping?

Pruning Mature Cherry Tree (certified arborist)
zhlédnutí 168Před 4 měsíci
My tree people. I am pruning a very old cherry tree for end weight reduction. This tree is at a stage of its life where there is very little vigorous growth. During this video I explain some unconventional cuts that are only ideal in this specific situation and I briefly speak about the theory of retrenchment.
Tree climbing. Redwood tree inspection

Winter fruit tree pruning: Renovation pruning on old apple tree.
zhlédnutí 107Před 4 měsíci
what's up my people! In this video I return to a cluster of stub cuts. I have been pruning this apple tree for the last 2 years and on this 3rd year we can start to see a glance at the future structure. Since I started this project our main focus has been to improve aesthetics. Fruit production (if present) would be a plus but not necessary.
Fruit trees. Renovation pruning (winter pruning)
zhlédnutí 81Před 4 měsíci
What's up my people! In this video I am pruning a mature cherry tree. This tree was previously toped which created a massive responsive growth (sucker explosion). I am pruning to improve future structure while retaining size. Joint me to get an insight on pruning fruit trees by a certified arborist.

Hey bro! Nice climbing / rigging. I like how conscious you are with leaving habitat in the canopy.
Thanks bro! We try our best to leave as much habitat as possible. cheers!
Hey Geeza! Great video. Peace!!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe thanks bro! Have a nice week! ✌🏽
@@ferminsuarez1131 I like your rig / tag line setup geeza.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe it’s more efficient the way you rig bro. I gotta get that ring.
Beautiful work as always, and it's my pleasure and honor to work with you every day!
@@coryharris5428 Thanks bro, pleasure is mine.
There are two saplings twisting together in my neighbor's yard and I can't wait to see what they look like in 30 years. Unfortunately, they're Norway Maples...
@@justinwest4923 Nice ! Do you think they would be eventually graft? 🤔 It would be cool if they do, although I haven’t seen a successful graft on a Northway Maple. Thanks for the comment!
@@ferminsuarez1131 I don't think they're known for grafting.
@@justinwest4923 That’s what I thought, we don’t work as much on mature species so I would definitely keep that on my mental notes. Thank you!
Excellent
Thanks homie!
Excellent homie! Beautiful video and fantastic work as always. 👍🤙👊
Thanks for the comment homie!!! 🤘🏽
Great work bro! Lovely old tree & well done on the restoration prune / reduction. I like the Stars War text and speed line was mint.
Thanks bro! I really appreciate the feedback. The star wars text was totally helpful to save time on editing haha, glad you liked it. We do as much as we can to save our mature trees and it’s actually against the law in the city of Seattle to remove a mature tree without a permit.
Tricky climb! I like the way you were zip lining down small bundles. Haha, cool ending!
Very tricky in deed! Glad you enjoyed the video bro! Cheers!
Nice work bro, I enjoy your handsaw workmanship. Keep it up!
Thanks brother!
Excellent work brother! No surprise there. Beautiful
Thanks bro !
That’s a crazy Katsura!!!
Yup! Definitely at its mature height.
Excellent!
Thanks brother
Awesome video bro! Stunning Maple tree. Great climbing! Hand saw work & tip pruning is the best, it can be super taxing on the body sometimes or even mentally draining trying to best distribute your time in the crown as you know, I like the point you mentioned, do you climb out or grab the pole saw and be more efficient. Keep up the good work!
Yes in deed brother! It’s taxing but it’s extremely rewarding! We are lucky to be in this amazing profession! Cheers! Climb safe bro!
So good! I enjoy installing dynamic cables. I will hopefully do a dynamic cable video sometime. Peace!!!!
Yes please! People need more information about dynamic bracing. Cheers bro!
Love your work! The tree art is great.
Thanks bro!
This scenery always making me miss Seattle.
I am always trying trying to show the beauty of our city. Cheers!!
Lovely work my man! Good terminology and camera work.
Thanks brother, glad you enjoyed it!
Love this one. It might be my favorite. Beautifully done.
Awesome! thanks brother!!!!
Technical & tricky crown reduction. The end result looks good bro! I was reading in the Australian ArborAge magazine recently...if you do selective branch removal to reduce the crown height by 5% it can reduce the loading in the root zone approx 40 - 45 % in bigger Eucalyptus species. I am not sure how the consulting arborist quantified the measurement, but interesting.
That’s amazing! it’s crazy how removing a little leverage makes a huge impact. Thanks for sharing I am definitely keeping that in my notes. Cheers brother!!!
Awesome! Well done homie! Sounds like you need a new handsaw blade. Lol. JK
Thanks homie!!!! I need one in deed. Good thing fanno blades are inexpensive lol.
Excellence
Thanks bro!!
Great work!
Thanks bro!!!
Nice climbing!
Thanks !!!
Hey bro! Nice video, I like your textbook arborist work and creative approach. I run a tree surgery business in Australia and sub contract climb. Cheers!
What’s up bro! Thanks for the feedback! That’s awesome, there are some gigantic trees in Australia. Stay safe brother! Cheers
@@ferminsuarez1131 No worries bro! Keep up the good tree care.
Not to argue, but I wouldn't even call most of those little branches that you're leaving, suckers. They don't look epicormic at all to me. I would just call them laterals.
That’s a great point. I tried to simplify everything but you are absolutely right. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate your feedback!
Nice preservation of the tree! Love the content Fir!!
Thank you!!! I really appreciate the feedback!!
I just discovered your channel and I'm really digging your videos so far. I'm just learning about this stuff, so I really appreciate the way you explain things. Good luck with the channel! Hope it blows up!
I really appreciate the feedback! Glad to hear this because that is my intention. I really want to show people how fun and interesting arboriculture could be. Thanks!!!
Beautiful
Thank you brother!
These videos are good. Thanks for the footage
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback.
Nice!🍻
thank you!
Nicely done. A saws all works well for that job too.
Thank you !!
❤ Beautiful. Well done as always my friend
Thank you !!!!
I love your energy 💗
Thank you!!!!!
Do you use a silky saw?
I love silky saw's but I am using a fanno. Mainly because they are inexpensive and sharp enough for the pruning cuts needed. ( However I do own a more precise silky for ornamental's)
The people demand more sexy tree content! More vids!
More videos are on their way! Stay tuned 😊
Great job demonstrating end weight reduction on the tops while keeping a full canopy, most people would just remove the tops. Very professional.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. 👍🏽
Beautiful work, and excellent video homie! As always!
Thank you brother!!!!
I didn’t know you were an artist! Those drawings are so good
Thank you!! My first option was to copy some images from the web or a book but I couldn’t find anything so I had to improvise.
Tree work!!
Absolutely!
This is sweet! Good work dude! I want to see more tree species.
You got it!
