A spoken monologue (YouTube) by a tree-service operator describing tree trimming practices, arguing that trimming/pruning promotes tree health and regrowth, and explaining his specialized work using a helicopter-mounted saw. The speaker notes roughly 11.5 years of experience, emphasizes safety choices (no climbers in brittle ash), and cites the emerald ash borer as having killed most ash trees in Ohio.
We all love trees, and everybody loves trees. And that's the point. It's not. It's not that. No, we ain't killing them. We're. We're not chopping heads off or nothing. We're just trimming trees. And that actually promotes growth. Yes. Earlier. So Walter. They introduced me to Walter. Yes, sir. And he goes, yeah. Then we cut off last year or whenever. He goes, you should see them now. Green as ever. You know, making the point that the trees looked healthier now. Absolutely. It's, you know, we, like said we don't kill these trees. My people might think we do. Not even close. We just trim them. We just, you know, prune them, make them look good. And I can tell you right now, they're gonna grow back thicker and fuller, and we'll be back in seven to five years. Awesome. To trim it again. You know, there's a lot of us out here that. I'm a tree guy. I tell you right now, I started in the tree world, so I know. I know how these guys are out here. I know how to work the world. And now I get to fly a helicopter with a saw. Very rare. Didn't even know about it until I seen it one day. Didn't have a clue about it until I seen it, I had never heard of it. And I knew I had to do something to solve, to do the sawing. And I got lucky. I got darn lucky. Guys like me. And like I said, that was 11 and a half years ago. Still at it. Crazy. Crazy. It's a great operation. It helps the guys tremendously out here. And right now, we got a big, major ash problem with the emerald ash borer. It's killed so many ash, and almost every ash in the state of Ohio is gone. Dead in a mackerel, brittle as heck in the air. So we do not allow any climbers in those trees. So I take care of that. I go in there, I can work above these trees and take care of the dead trees that nobody can be around on the ground right now. Everybody's just waiting for them to fall over. That's part of the world. It.
