Tom very interesting post. Here in Chicago Land we have problems with Dutch Elm and The emerald ash borers which have killed off so many trees. The burbs here have been known for tree lined streets and some parts of the city and that is fading.

In our area hardwood trees that were located in the swamps could not be cut because they were to hard to get to.  Now they have a swamp machine that can go into the swamps and get them cut and out.  Very sad for the swamps..

Tom, Thank you for re-posting excellent blogs and I appreciate that you're adding insight to bring in an added perspective.  You capture some that may pass us by in our haste and that takes the extra attention to detail I'm sure your clients enjoy.    p.s. Thank you also for commenting on my recent blog.  Here's wishing you great success!
