You were born too early FTA.
Don't you realize that the trees were identified and taught and learned by many arborist long before apps!
What you need is a mentor and quit pretending to your (customers) and using us to answer things you tell your (customers) that you know.
Sad, really, Merry Christmas!

I don't think FTA has his problems from the time he was born, I think they stem from the fact that he slipped outta the doctors hands and fell right on his head when he was born , An Elite APP for tree ID , man go buy a ####ing $20 book at the depot .... SHEESH Like a Dollar Waiting on a Dime ...And jeff stop helping him .... the next job that RUBE takes may be yours .... Experience isn't taught or given its EARNED .... MERRY CHRISTMAS OR HAPPY KWANSA whatever the hell you celebrate have a good day ...

I ain't helping no more. He needs 'Hands-On' instruction and thinks Apps and BS can reward him.
Merry Christmas 101!!!!!!!

These are some of the strangest attitudes about smart phone applications.

I'm sure the tree fellers from some thousand years ago would go around yammering about how you can't learn nothin from some ol' new fangled paper, wood thingamajigs no way no how. :msp_cursing: That's how they used to cut down the new book generation.

Now looky. You guys have the privilege of getting on this piece of equipment that you still think runs on some kinda magic (called the computer), and yammer on about how the guy that's considering a new tree ID app can't learn nothin right now way no how. :msp_cursing:

On the brighter side of the tree news, that Dirr guy sure broke in with the apple itunes tree ID app. Seriously. It's all that. I don't have an iphone, or I'd get that app. It appears to me to be professional level stuff. At least it's effective for the real tree workers that actually know how to use modern applications and considering that these trees aren't than other people's property of which they understand nothing about including what species they have.

:cool2: So then, tell me how I'm not going to be able to retain information better from a book than a smart phone app. It's the same danm thing. Only it's faster. :greenchainsaw:

Now have a Hairy Christmas. :msp_thumbup:
