Ask me anything about trees!
Yeah confirmed good guy. Need to see more of this.

I was lucky enough that my parents moved to Medford Lakes so he was my congressman up until he got to the Senate. Sadly could never make it down from Canada to canvass

Red maples are criminally underrated as a flowering tree.

This looks like shit! What happened to center consoles!?
January 23, 2025 at 6:11 PM
I never understood why car manufacturers made such a hard switch away from built-in screens in the center console to these ugly iPad-glued-to-dashboard setups. I'm biased, but I point to my 2019 Golf Alltrack at the last "good" car interior. Has everything today's cars have, but w/o the wonky screen

Selections from my time surveying street trees in Baltimore 7 years ago

Shoutout to my blanketflowers, echinaceas, and coreopsis who are still blooming despite it being basically winter

Got dropped a blessed list of apple cultivars in an inventory dataset. Tag yourself, I'm "Winter Banana"

Geeked tf out over this witch hazel I found in Crothers Woods today while doing a survey. Only 10 feet tall with a 4" trunk but that is massive for this species considering were at the far northern end of its range. Blooms in the fall(!) and the fruits mature in the spring then pop open in summer

She's only 1 and 1/2 and is already helping to spread native aster seeds for next year :). Once they come up next year I'm gonna show her this video so she can see how they came from these seeds 🌼

Been working with a client to cantilever their new house over the roots of two big neighbor owned spruce trees, the original plans cut through all their roots up to the property line, had to cut a hole in the shoring to pour a corner footing and support column. Everything starting to come together!

If you walked past the Bedford and Bloor timmies this morning chances are my daughter said hi

Revving up this account after a year of tweeting, following way fewer pundits and way more normal people whom I like. Here's a sugar maple from last week :)

Spiderbro hasnt shown up for a few nights. Hope he's well somewhere else, or at peace having lived a life of eating the mosquitos over my back porch. Cheers, bud.

London really has a stellar logo. Simple tree, 6 leaves radially symmetrical around the middle, ringed by 6 more leaves, each ringed by 3 more leaves. That's something a kid can remember. It would even work well on a flag, like one you'd see on a medieval standard. Fantastic

I'm on vacation this week so this doesn't count

Very few trees have defense mechanisms that scream "DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME" as effectively as the Devil's Walking Stick, Aralia spinosa. Every inch right down to the leaf stems are covered in spines. Im lucky enough to have some growing in a ravine nearby. Rock on, spiky bros ✊
