tanktop74 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I have two very tall, my guess is 20 ft, tall trees that need to get planted saturday. I am offering up Pizza, beer and $20 credit to spend at Isaac's shop when we are done! I will take us all over in the Burb to shop! I am looking for 4 guys and some shovels to help us out for a couple hours Saturday. Anyone available and willing to help us out?

Saltfinsax Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Man I thought you where kidding about that in the other thread. 20 foot maples? them get petty darn big. I don't remember you guys having that much room around the house. I guess I never did see your back yard. How big are the root balls? and how close are they to where they need to be planted. I will know in a couple days if I am free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Beth let me talk to Jess and see what we can come up with, she's gotta work Saturday afternoon I believe it is, but maybe we can work something out. Or is it Sunday? If it's Sunday, we can do it easily :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will know in a couple days if I am free. We have lots of room if the city of portland makes up plant them in the parking strip. I am having that huge apricot tree on our west parking strip taken down tomorrow, the trunk is splitting and its 1/2 dead. City of portland wants me to replace it with two 2" caliper trees, I could only find 1 3/4" ones and they are very tall! But they are not wide so that is nice. The root ball is about 2 ft in diameter, although its not a ball its in a pot! If afternoon is going to work for most I would say 2 pm. Thanks guys!

Would not kid about tree planting...(nono) We are having the apricot tree removed in the front yard because it is dying and has a big crack in it and I really don't want to see it take out the fence. In order to remove a tree in Portland we are required to get a permit and plant two in its place and then give them all hugs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'll be there if you need help. I'm very bad with plants, just tell me what to do and I will execute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sweet of you...(clap) I don't need you to execute the trees. No need for cousin Vinny to show up. I think it's a matter of digging a hole and holding a tree. Bring the frogspawn too.

racefan Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 In order to remove a tree in Portland we are required to get a permit and plant two in its place and then give them all hugs.. Are you serious? except for the hugs part that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Thanks David that's nice of you. Isaac speaks highly of you.(clap) Are you serious? except for the hugs part that is. Tis the truth racefan. You cannot simply remove a tree. The hugging part I made up but in order to get permission to remove our dying tree we have to replace it as well as the one that was apparently killed by an unfortunate car accident before we owned the house.(nutty) I can see their point to some extent and would have eventually planted another one. I just hate this long drawn out process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I would love to help but this weekend I have much on the honey do list-not only am I old and decrepit. Please get a group shot of the tree hugging-That will be hilarious I am sure a local station can do a segment on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
