I had an arborist look at my eucalyptus trees - which were recommended to me by an arborist before I knew all the problems with eucalyptus.

I was terrified one of them was going to fall on my home or one of the cars - as happened to a neighbor.

He assured me the variety that I have in the yard have deeper roots and do not fall over during high winds - I certainly hope so.

I had an arborist look at the trees left around my house after I had logged the property.
He was the one that told me to treat the Hemlocks with pesticide pellets.

In addition, he told me to cut a limb off a White Oak tree that was going to break. It did.

Then he said that I should put a rod between the two trunks of a Red Maple tree that came off the stump in a V. That tree broke and fell a couple weeks ago in a thunderstorm.
I cut it up. Hauled the limbs away to the dump. The logs are now laying on the firewood pile to dry for a couple years.

I have a house built in 1972. 12 acres. The work never ends.
