As soon as I saw "arborist" I was really hoping for some primo STDH about an arborist being mistaken for an abortionist. Now I feel letdown and unfulfilled, thanks a lot jerk < >

You would think an arborist would know how far to plant a pepper tree from a sidewalk.

sixth and maimed posted:You would think an arborist would know how far to plant a pepper tree from a sidewalk. This is what I was thinking the whole time. Don't lash out at other people because you're terrible at your "job" and the authorities found out about it. Also I find it highly questionable that a) someone could plant 100 trees in peoples' yards and parks/"state properties" without getting caught and b) they would all grow fine on their own without anyone taking care of them until they became self-sustaining. Especially considering the fact that they were probably getting mowed down by the landscapers every week or so. So yeah, this is definitely stdh.

Redondo Beach is right on the coast. Sequoia National Park isn't. A 5 second Google search reveals that planting your own giant redwood or sequoia outside of their normal environment is a terrible idea, since they won't survive. I like to imagine he really did spend tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours planting saplings that died within days.

I'm sure he's a professional in the sense that he paid for an LLC that would do it if it ever went into business. At most.

Far be it from me to question an arborist who trespasses onto private property and posts about it on Reddit, but, man, that seems like a lot of damage for baby trees to do in less than three years. Like, I thought we were having a problem with deforestation, but according to this guy, seems like you could just have a new forest every 10 years or so. Why didn't anyone think of this sooner? Just plant more trees! So simple.

It kind of defeats the point of the story about how the mean ol' city made you kill your tree for presumably no good reason when you go on to show that improperly planted trees are in fact a hugely destructive thing and should be avoided at all costs.

I also read "abortionist" at first and was very confused as I kept reading. Assuming this is true (which it isn't) it seems unlikely that the town would make a private citizen pay for the removal of the tree or damage to the sidewalk unless it could be proven that he had planted it maliciously 30 years ago. I also love that he calls the Mayor out for personally murdering his tree-baby. It definitely wasn't existing town ordinances and the fact that the tree was (by his own account) damaging town property. I looked to see if Steve Aspel is really the mayor of Redondo Beach, CA and he is (well was, last month he was beaten in an election), and most of the pages on the google search of his name are articles about this dumb, fake story. When will the fake news stop? Someone needs to clue in journalists that sometimes people make up stuff on the internet for lulz.

But they won't likely get massive outside their natural range or one substantially similar. And you can pretty much get away with planting trees all over the place with little problem, as long as you're wearing an orange vest and possibly hard hat. Will they be taken care of properly after? Who knows. But most people aren't going to question someone doing something like that. Not that any of it happened.

Depends on the company, really - nowadays, a lot of companies in the US replant as part of a sustainability initiative (as long as they're not planning to sell the land to be developed), but some companies have been replanting for years and years. Basically, if the company owns that land and is planning to keep it after logging, hell yeah they're going to replant as soon as possible.

Zelder posted:Good on aunt Judy being that well spoken 4 glasses of wine deep Being good at drinking wine and maintaining some level of sobriety just makes one an under-the-radar, socially acceptable alcoholic--I've seen multiple women (ok I dated some) throw back a bottle and a half and barely flinch, but it was cool you see because it was wine and it doesn't seem to register on the "is he/she an alcoholic?" set of factors. But then most of them couldn't handle more than two beers so who knows. I guess what I'm trying to say is, aunt Judy could totally post Facebook platitudes all night long with a bottle of wine in her, but no one cares because it's aunt Judy and it's "only" wine
