What a terrible video!

Boy to condemn a nice tree like that (opening panoramic view) over shared information from a novice in front of a beautiful home like that...I am not feeling it. "Board Certified Arborist" credential which he mentions over and over does not relate to risk evaluation (structure) which is the factor you state on the video for removal (as opposed to physiological health). Bet that tree if healthy is gorgeous (Crimson King...norway) in leaf. Plenty of terminal growth. Go look at the tree yourself. Don't delegate such an important decision as that. Maybe mitigating actions can lessen or even negate structural risk issues. I would be angry were I the client and came out for a chat with this guy. "Such an important and established client" (paraphrased) deserves your eyes on such an important decision.

My eyes have been on that tree many times and I looked at it the following day after I made that recording. You seem to be prone to projecting motive. Projectors tend to project what’s inside themselves. Thanks for the interaction and for all the views.

Hazard potential evals....... That's just great, your words are just so carefully twisted into truly meaningless quotes. I love it. Words like "justified removals" property values being a factor for your decisions. Such unorthodox methods that can only be exposed as to what your really doing. Your inventing this new language however twisted and miss leading it is your flagship most used brainwash on your client. It basically consists of you attempting to do a risk assessment on a tree, what your are really doing is looking for "targets" those targets are your points in a sales position. Your looking for ways to convince your client and one tactic is to find these targets. After that your want your selling points to be strong enough to hold up against any sort rebuttal from the client. That's when your second and third "hazard potentials" get put in the pot and stirred in. I get it, that equipment has to get paid for some how. It's just not keeping your clients in your best interests

@@GameofTrees You don't like criticism although you put yourself out there like you are someone beyond reproach. BCMA...just a 2 hour test. You are just another tree guy and I am a guy that likes to watch tree guy videos. So you will be hearing more "projection" from me in the future. Raise your standards a bit.
