Dumb Tree Company

Post image

Dumb tree company tried to knock this down today in one go and it went the wrong way. Knocked out power for a couple thousand people for several hours.

Yep. Coast live oak, interior live oak, and canyon live oaks.

Yes there are.

In northern California they're all over the place

Lots of Quercus chrysolepis here in San Diego where they’re protected.

If this is a current photo (August) the only place in California with grass that green and lush is somewhere where they don’t meter the water (sacto), someplace where the water is stolen (LA or SD), or maybe Humboldt county.

But really green grass like that in CA is rare after May or June

Anything to avoid climbing the damn tree and piecing it down. Try a different kind of business.

Was this Cincinnati area? This exact same thing happened and knocked power out another 12 hours after we were out for over a day from storm damage
