Question about the guy who had a small tree growing inside of his lung?
Posted by admin on Dec 31, 2009
There was a guy who had a small tree growing inside of his lung because he inhaled a seed.
He went to the doctor complaining about pain in his chest. At first the doctor thought it was a tumor, and decided to do surgery. When he opened the guy up, he saw the tree!!
My question is.. don’t trees need light to survive to? How exactly could this happen?
Most medical and horticultural experts have disputed this claim due to the lack of appropriate elements needed for the growth of this seed to occur ….
how to convince my parents to let me gt a green tree python?
Posted by admin on Dec 31, 2009
im asking them for a green tree python as a surgery present. getting surgery on my feet and they wont let me
this is the only chance i have to get one and the best chance
uhh yes i know about green tree pythons. But answer my question
and im not even close to a first time owner.
Tell them if you really love me, or I have to deal with this pain of the surgery. The first one works all the time. I own 20+ Geckos. It worked for me. And I’m only 13.
how long does it take to recover from rotater cuff surgery? I do tree work and it has been 3 monthes PAIN?

I went back to work one month after!! single mother of three
I agree with the previous answerers – it should take around 6 months to fully heal.
You are really at risk of tearing it again with your heavy work so soon after surgery.
Good physical therapy after this type of surgery is crucial. They will gradually progress you through a strengthening and mobility program. Using weights is not always the best way to go. Ask your therapist to perform closed chain exercises and rhythmic stabilization exercises as a part of your program – these are more functional exercises and will make you less liable to re-injury. They should also be using modalities like electrical stimulation to decrease pain and swelling, ultrasound to help with the scar tissue, massage to stretch the scar tissue and shoulder joint. If you are not getting one-on-one time with your therapist – time to look elsewhere!!
My mainstays in treating patients include using accupressure points using microstimulation and Kinesio Tape. If you can find a therapist who knows these techniques, it will really speed up your recovery.
Good luck!
How to get rid of a huge tree stump near a house?
Posted by admin on Dec 31, 2009
We had a 60′ tree removed next to our house because it was dying and we wanted to build where it was. They ground the stump but only right below the ground level. The base of the tree was more then 5 feet across. We want to build a wall on top of where it was but there is even wider tree stump under the dirt. We need to go down 30 inches to build a footer under the frost line. How do we get rid of it! We’ve called tree people and excavating people who says they dont do that.
Look for stump grinding ads in your area.
A good grinder can take you down to where
you need to be.
Good Luck

We recently had a huge 100+ year old tree cut down. We had the stump ground. a couple weeks later a the ground around the stump is soaked with water and stinks.
some of the trees store its serum on its ground. so i think it was the serum of the tree

How much does it cost to have a stump ground out?
Posted by admin on Dec 31, 2009
Most stump grinding is priced on the diameter of the stump and can range from $1.00 to $5.00 per inch. It’s really hard to say with the fluctuating price of diesel, but you could get bids from several stump grinding contractors and choose the one with the best price and credentials.
Best wishes.
how can I find out if a person is really a liscensed arborist?
Posted by admin on Dec 31, 2009
want some work done, but I want to make sure the person I am talking to really has his liscense
I need to know where on the web I can go to find out if the liscense he says he has is really a true liscense….
this is a person who works with trees, not abortions…..trees, people….these people have to have liscnese to charge the hight prices they do….I don’t want to hire this persone if he has a fake liscense….thanks keep trying for me….
I think you are prudent to hire the services of an arborists. Too many tree trimmers are butchers who ruin the trees they trim. Ask the arborist for a copy of his license if he is required to have one in your state. In lieu of that, I would ask for a copy of his or her college diploma. A reputable arborist will respect you for wanting to verify their credentials and will not mind furnishing the information.
If your state requires an arborist to be licensed, go to your states website ( your state.gov ) and search for state licensed professions. It should be fairly easy to look up the license.
It is also extremely important that anyone working on your trees furnish you with a Certificate of Insurance proving that they carry general liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance. If an uninsured employee gets injured on your job, you are almost sure to be sued.
Good luck with your tree project.
What is the verdict on pruning paste?
Posted by admin on Dec 31, 2009
I got my BS in horticulture a year ago, but have been working at a nursery for 4 years. My professors and the managers and arborists at work have always said that covering pruning and other wounds with paste should not be done because it can trap decay, insects, and diseases inside the tree. In fact, our nursery doesn’t even carry it and neither do the other 3 nurseries in town. But so many people recommend it(especially on here) and I often have people asking for it. So, what’s the deal? Is it good or bad?
I was also taught not to.
It was the done thing many years ago but studies by the RHS have shown the tree/shrub heals better by itself. The exceptions are trees prone to silver leaf infection (cherry, peach, apricot, pear and apple) then the limb should be painted.
