The Angry Neighbor Stump Tells the Truth
Vložit

- I’d love to tell you I told you so, but this might be your first time watching :-). In the original angry neighbor video, I made some pretty definite statements about the nature of these two stems that they were essentially separate entities. It won’t take too much reading of the thousands of comments to discover many people disagreed with what I said. Those people, I am quite sure, have never stopped to look inside a stump.  This is not the first time I’ve stopped to look inside of a stump, and it likely won’t be my last because of the practice of stopping and observing trees, and the inside of trees when I was cutting them and inside of stumps when I was grinding them. The best classroom is in the field doing the work. All we need to do is to pay attention and take notes of the details. The seemingly provocative statements that I made in the original video are proven to be true in this video. I truly had a lot of fun making this video.

Way cool.
I knew it was 2 independent trees right down to the roots.
Thank you.
One of the most gratifying reveals of my career 😂
@@GameofTrees Honestly, I don't even think the argument was about whether the tree was one or two entities; I think the neighbor was just using that as a convenient excuse to have an argument about how they can have it both ways: they avoid responsibility about the fact that their tree is posing a risk to the client, but then they expect you to assume all the liability for the problem they refused to address.
I mean, if they wanted to come at this from a position of righteousness, it should've been them calling you first to help out their neighbors, and then if they had a concern about the other tree, they could've had you take both as a package deal. Instead they acted like scumbags, and the only reason they even tried to have an argument about it is because the other tree was OBVIOUSLY a danger and they knew it had to go.
I get a real strong NIMBY factor coming from the two of them, and I suspect that while I'm sure they have no problem with halfway homes, they probably don't want one near them, and I suspect that's the tension between the two properties.
And in the background you see 2 downspouts that have drain pipes all the way to a "neighbors" fence. Letting all the rain water flood a neighbors yard and not his yard! Wow! Great neighbor!!
Very observant 😃
You have a lot of nice safety gear, especially for a small company it says a lot. I like it; from the cones on the sidewalk, whole crew has high viz, to the "Stay back" screen for stump grinding. Professional!
Thanks, we are Accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association, so we basically have what a Company over 100 employees has. Thanks!
Content like this is so much better than broadcast TV, really hope your channel grows BIG
Thank you. We post every Sunday at least
And your business
New follower here . This was very interesting to watch. Thanks for taking the time to explain and show how trees can support themselves. Great video.
You bet, thanks for being the contrast of the person that just said I talk too much during the video😂😂😂
What a great series! I love learning new things! Thank you! 😊
Thanks Danita! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awsome video and always love to learn new things. Thank you for your content and Awsome work.
Thanks
You are right about the designer - very intelligent design on the root/tree system.
For a scoop shovel, chip cleanup, I highly recommend the A.M. Leonard poly shovel. It is thick plastic, durable, lightweight - slides over grass better than metal.
Thanks for the tip, I think Eli started buying those.
Enjoyed the video. Very interesting stuff. You are so right....want to be an expert and know what you are talking about, then you have to investigate and continue to seek knowledge. I've been around a long time and yet I learn new things every day....cause I'm always seeking.
👍🏻
The angry neighbor hasn't fixed his fence that's falling in, still angry.
He's waiting for something else to happen that he can blame on someone else, to get them to pay for it, of course!
Great video! It was nice to see the final results of the mystery tree. You were right. Good day.
Thanks
nature’s is a school room that never closes, if you look you will learn something new each and every day!
the best thing with that school you take it with you for life, and you can share it with others that are willing to
learn something new each and every day. to understand pieces of what is around us, is just amazing if you
are both willing to look and understand. great video, nice to see the hidden part of the story.
👍🏻
Im glad you made an effort to make angry neighbor (AN) happy. You get an A+. AN gets an F. 1. AN shoulda taken responsibility for the tree from the getgo. Instead he left it up to the garage owner (GO) to act on the danger of the split tree looming over his garage. Im sure AN was just hoping it was gonna fall any minute so that GO’s insurance would take over. Im curious what AN told GO…”naw Im not gonna cut that tree down, Imma leave it just like that…it’ll be ok”. Im sure AN and GO arent friends to this day. I wouldnt speak to AN ever again over this. 2. AN tried to get you to sign some bogus declaration of responsibility, in case “anything in the future” happens to his tree. What a legal crock of 💩. Cheap bastich. 3. And then when game of trees (GOT) went back to view the situation, from a public sidewalk 18 months later to see if the tree shifted, AN said some pretty ugly things…because GOT had called out AN’s bull💩on youtube. And btw, AN’s hack job on the tree during those 18 months looked like 💩. AN shoulda just left the tree alone after GOT cut it, and it woulda looked ok.
So in hindsight, I wouldnt have gone back and cut AN’s tree cause he’s a DH. But I get that GOT was looking for goodwill, as well as closure, as well as the final answer if those two branches were separate entities supported by one root system, and cutting one didnt kill the other.
Good job GOT.
Thanks for all of that! 😃
Thanks for taking the time to show that you don't have to justify yourself to anyone you are the man
Nga mihi
Thanks!
The way you pronounce the word “root” makes me smile!
Thanks Monique, you are not the first to notice 😃
@@GameofTrees Guess you pronounce roof in a similar way.
It looks like a case of yin and yang.
Yeah, that was cool😃
The beauty of Mother Nature her self
Very interesting, thanks for taking the time to explain what was happening. I just recently had to takeout a Cherry Laurel tree that grew into and through some PVC sprinkler pipes and valve. I used a 4000psi pressure washer to remove the dirt. Then I was able to cut the stump apart and pull the roots up. Again thanks for the explanation.
The air spade tool is the pressure washer without the mud:) Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for coming along.
@@GameofTrees Yes and I can attest to the mud, it was everywhere.
Well, it's a done-deal now. You can shed that uneasy feeling you had and move forward with a clean conscience. I wouldn't have done it, but as I said , you're a better man than me😁
😃
This was the interesting video of this series! Really enjoyed you being right😊
😃 so did I 😃
pretty amazing stuff, thanks for sharing
Thank You for the education. I will stop and touch all the trees !
That’s great Heather. Happy learning!
Great video !
Great job and well done making the neighbor happy!
Nothing like experuenc
Thanks Linda!
At least you have more than the hairdryer this time. 😆
I think you need to have your screens more like 8 to 10 feet high to contain the debris from blasting.
I don't know what all the neighbor drama was about. This tree(both sides) needed to come out. It was dying, split, and too big to be so close to the garage and power lines in the condition it was in.
It’s complicated 😄
Never thought about trees being canibals, but if you think about it you see it in the forest every day.
Circle of life.
The creator of all things ,,and the savoir of that wich is lost ..amen..nice video boss..thanks
Yes, the designer of all things!
They could’ve atleast thrown you and the guys a nice tip?!?! Don’t Wisconsin guys like Beers?!? A wheel of cheese?
I learned about CODIT or Compartmentalization Of Disease In Tissue in my Horticulture/ Silviculture/ Plant Pathology curriculum, so this was a good dissection example. Good job
Thanks Matt!
Originally 3 trees correct? The middle one most likely died and was consumed by the other 2 independent stems?
Actually I think the middle one was cut down and these two grew on opposite sides of the stump to form the current two stems. Yes, I believe they were supporting each other independently.
Very interesting video.
Glad you think so!
Can we also discuss the idiot neighbors down spouts? Pretty sure code enforcement could take issue with that.
😃
Angry Neighbor was just wrong, Wrong, WRONG...OH SO WRONG IN EVERY WAY FROM THE BEGINNING FOR NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A HUGE, TALL, DANGEROUS TREE LOOMING OVER THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE, VEHICLES, ETC.
😃
I enjoyed the arborist’s lesson for the day!
I read that trees have a true communication network through roots!
P.s. the neighbor left his trailer in the driveway this time lol😅
😀
The Master arborist credential is beyond reproach
😀 thanks Rick this was a fun one:)
The tables have turned…. All that drama was pointless
But it was fun while it lasted :-) and fairly rewarding to discover what I thought I would discover :-)
That's using a lot of air😮. Hope you're recycling it! 😂
THE AIR TRENCHING TOOL... OR AIR SPADE.... BETTER KNOWN AS.... BEST FOR EVERY THING
Very handy tool
You surely know your trees!
Thanks Cherri , little by little:)
Dang you look like my Uncle Dewey ❤️ Lusk
Here’s to Uncle Dewey😃
I thought you were just gonna pull the whole thing out and mount in your shop somewhere
😂
The right side looks like a man smiling
😃
That had to feel good man 👍👏🧐🫡🙌
Yes it did, well worth the offer:)
Was really hoping you shut down the moronic ANs in this one... Rubbed their nose in the proverbial pile .... Hope this guys ANs move asap.
😃 all the proof is there to see. I’m very satisfied 😃
Everyone thinks they know more then experts...,😅😛
Another nausea inducing video. At least you’re consistent in the video style 😉
😀 thanks
@@GameofTrees 😂
If you have time digging out interesting roots they would give us artists something interesting to work with!!! I would gladly paid for it. Making a vase, table, pieces of art for walls etc.
Oh, the time😃 you may have to look for fallen trees in the woods:)
So I’ve watched more angry neighbor content then I’m willing to admit to but I’m fascinated by human behavior like this…..it strikes me as blessed are the peacemakers but that doesn’t mean beaing a doormat to unreasonable people…..in the neighbor’s defense we all deal with unscrupulous people and it looked like that was his driving force but he did not trust true information when encountered with honest information……this could easily be a video on car repair or hvac…..we are all wary of things like this…it is always hard to convince someone your not out to screw them over when there is so many out there that do…..
Thanks for that analysis!
@@GameofTrees so I came for the tree content but always get much more….another great one was the tree that was cut by mistake….you have a great life, business and CZcams channel
Great video, very interesting. Now I know what my Great nephew does. You go Brandon. You won't even get me on a ladder.
😃
🙏👍
Why wouldn't you use a mulch fprk instead of a shovel to go into wheelbarrow. It looks like a lot of extra work.
One didn’t come along that day, but a scoop shovel works especially with little to no dirt in the chips. We don’t use the air spade but we do dig the stump out every time.
Yes, you were right.. but why go on and on and on about it?
Have you seen the 8,000 comments on the original video? 😂😂😂 I guess they got to me😂 thanks for the admonishment Kathy, I’ll take it to heart😃
I went deep into the comments and didn't see who paid for it?
I did the tree to get the answers. It was worth it for me.
Big big girdler……
Why was the second tree cut down? Did the angry neighbor insist? Who paid for the removal?
I offered and I paid:)
Get that man a scoop shovel
There was only one and I had it😂
It's always feels good when you know your right from the get go even feels better when you get to prove it to naysayers great Job once again 👍 Oh btw buy the guys aluminum scoop shovels #12 #14 or even #16 with long D handles poor guy with a little spade digging shovel jeez how much did you charge yourself for taking the tree down maybe next time don't charge yourself so much and you could afford some scoop shovels for the guys 🤣
There were scoop shovels and all of ours are plastic because the last thing we need is a aluminum shovel going into a chipper:) I’m trying hard not to micro manage, notice, I went to the truck and got a scoop shovel:)
@@GameofTrees Yes I seen it jump the gun on comment stuck my foot in my mouth you are correct again sir carry on nice job as as usual 👍
Did the neighbor ever apologize?
Yes, and he gave a very nice review:)
Let’s hope he sees this video
We were have fun too 😀😃😁😝
I’m glad:)
Around 28:20 - 31:00, you keep repeating that the folks who thought the dead tree would "invade" the living trees were wrong. Clearly, you know so much about tree behavior that you've forgotten what it's like to not be a tree expert. What seems kind of obvious to me (someone in that latter, more ignorant, category) is that they are conflating "dead tree" and *diseased* tree. They are imagining the tree died of a _disease,_ and that the _contagious disease_ will tend to spread into the living neighbor.
You may indeed be right, many “tree people” might not know what really happens inside, much less the average home owner. But those who consult regarding trees should know these things. Thanks for your insight.
@@GameofTrees
Enjoyed this series.
I must say though, the excessive gloating reflects pretty poorly.
Frankly I agree, but acknowledging my own human weaknesses, I have responded to no less than 10,000 contrarian comments, in view of that reality, perhaps I may receive at least a bit of grace on my gloating 😃 thank you for the admonishment 😃
@GameofTrees I'm surprised you took the time to respond but I am pleased you did. Absolutely, you get a pass for the excessive gloating...I didn't take into account the amount of grief you must have been pummeled with, so I can imagine that you must have been pretty stoked to have your educated opinion proven correct during the "autopsy". 😆 Stay safe and have a great year!
I just stump grind them. Get it done.
Heading toward one year of experience repeated many times. Keep exploring and learning bro, it turns into money:)
At least you're not gloating much.
Just a little 😃
you and your wife must have month long battles over "who was right".
But with 36 years behind us grudges don’t become us😃
You won the argument so why keep going on and on and on about it?
Arborist, name for an over paid tree trimmer!! lol
@clydea.murphy2219, name for uninformed cynic. 😃
Good thing you took that tree down, before it eventually killed some!
It had issues, but it was gonna take a number of variables to put it down because it leaned into the prevailing winds, and it didn’t have any basal decay and it was not dependent upon the other side to remain standing :-)
Spending too mush time trying to convince us you were right.
And spending time teaching about trees. It just happens to be what I knew before and now I have an opportunity to show it. I didn’t need to prove myself right I’m displaying what’s inside the tree :-) thanks for the comment.
@@GameofTrees Maybe you didn't realize you were repeating things over and over during your explanation. I did learn something, tho.
Don't let the "experts" get under your skin. Just laugh it off. After telling us 14 times about how right you were gets old. Just clean up the stump.
😂😂 it’s influenced by how many times I was told I was wrong :-)
You do too much talking.
Thanks Diana, stump grinding, is fairly boring without it though. :-)
@dianalara4086 you do too much typing.
I think you did yourself more harm than good with this angry neighbor series. You have taken a fairly minor complaint from a landowner and amplified it for CZcams hits. You look extremely petty in your quest to prove yourself right. What's worse is your attempt to be the better man in this situation is nullified because you are exploiting this for hits. Dude ..... I wouldn't have your company step two feet on my yard after watching these last few videos.
All of this happened very organically, and it’s a very common conflict in the industry that has resulted in high interest. It is obvious you have never tried to produce anything on CZcams or you would know that there’s not much you can do to “get hits.”😂 and if you study the bulk of the comments, you’ll understand why I wanted to see what was in this stump, because so many people have never looked before and demonstrated their ignorance with their comments. This was a great opportunity for education, which is the result, regardless of your opinion😃 check out our Google reviews our customers love what we do and we aim to please. Even this neighbor is now happy even the people we make unhappy. We end up making them happy. That’s how we run our business. Thank you for the comment they all help us get more hits.😂
@Game of Trees .. if it was for education purposes. you would have edited the video to cast the neighbor in less of a dark light.
The neighbour put himself in a dark light.
