This maple tree that I removed had multiple structural defects. I found it had multiple branch bark connections with inclusive bark. I found holes in the trunk where limbs in the past had broken that were filled with water causing rot and decay in some of the stems. Two of the main stems out of the four all together had fungal decay in the lower part of the trunk. Probably root rot caused by the pathogen Armillaria mellea.

The tall Douglas fir that's next to the maple had a table around it for so long it's been girdled and will be getting removed as well. A tree being girdled is like an animal being strangled.

Cleaned up this over grown yard. It was very over grown all the way around the house Even had a large Western Red Cedar, scientific name Thuja plicata, that was growing all over the rear corner of the house. Good Job to my employees.

Removed this Western Red Cedar that was dying and had a bees nest about 20 feet up inside the trunk of the tree. In 18 years I've never encountered a bee hive inside the trunk of a tree I was removing.

Today while basically minding my own business, actually literally minding my own business and enjoying the weather I was sneak attacked by a bunch of killer assassin bees. Not knowing what to do hanging from the tree, I did the only thing I could. I mixed The Humpty Dance with the Clap Dance and I must have mesmerized them enough to make my escape and foiling their murderous plan.

Lucky they decided to plan a murderous attack on me as everybody else said I should just spray a bunch of bee killer up there. Actually I think it would be a damn good idea to suck those little bastards out of there hive in the tree and bring them to the genetic engineers that made them so aggressive. Then give those super smart guys a chainsaw to defend themselves against these murderous little killers. That would be funny to watch.

Had fun removing this dying Cherry tree, Prunus avium from a client's backyard. Not only is it tree evasive to the area, it also had fungus and was dying.

Cut down to 4 - 5 feet to open up the view of the Dougfir trees. Will be pruning the dead limbs from the Dougfirs.

Cutting this Scot’s Pine tree down without damaging the fence was a fun puzzle. I did not climb it. It spans over the fence and into the neighbor's Douglasfir tree which is holding it up. It is not very often that you see a tree trunk completely fail as this one has. Fungus dried up this tree, Blue Stain fungus to be more precise. The vector of this fungus is the Mountain Pine Beetle. The Blue Stain fungus that dried this tree up is the primary reason for this tree trunks complete structural failure. This is a great example of how a tree is so much stronger when water flows through it then when it is all dried up. Turgor pressure or hydrostatic pressure adds so much structural integrity to the wood in trees. This internal hydrostatic pressure is the main reason why a tree can withstand high winds or even the shear load of its own weight without failing. Also, this explains why the cost of removing a dead tree is often more expensive than the cost of removing a larger live tree.
