Speaking of trees and recourse...

What?

No one called about extending your tree warranty?

Slackers.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Time to branch out or just leaf it be. Sorry to be so stuck to the root of the argument on this one, though.

@lufins-dad said in Speaking of trees and recourse...:

Last year I notice a couple of spots on our Maple that looked bothersome. Call out the arborist to go over the tree from top to bottom and trim it back a little. "Everything is fine! Perfectly normal! Tree is very healthy..." A week ago I find mushrooms growing on the bark... Uh oh... Call the arborist. Half the tree's dead, they can still salvage the other half and "If you had called us out last year we could have saved the whole tree!" Uhm, we did call you out last year and you looked it over from top to bottom and declared it healthy...

Any recourse? I'm not looking for financial remuneration, but I do think they should cover part of the salvage cost, no?

Did they give you a written evaluation of the tree? If not you probably don't have a case, but it they did then you might have some redress with their insurance company?

What are they saying about this failure to detect serious disease? Are they going to refund what you paid them, or did they not charge for the initial inspection (filed under "you get what you pay for")?

Chop your losses and forget about it. Get a new arborist, too.

The whole thing leaves mulch to be desired, if you ask me...

[Larry]

What do you get when you cross an arborist with a chainsaw?

A stump.....

The happiest guy on an arborist's crew is the chipper guy....

I aksed an arborist how he got down off a tree.

He said "you dont. You get down off a duck.."

[Larry]

Me:"what's the best thing for a blue spruce?"

Arborist : " tell it jokes to try to cheer it up..,"

[Larry]

Arborist: "sir, the fruit on your plum tree are drying up...

We're going to prune it..."
