I love the chatter between you and your ground guy. He does a great job in talking you thru stuff and teaching you. Very professional.
So freaking humble AND teachable...I struggle with taking suggestions sometimes. I feel like I'd be hanging from the top of that tree like "alright I got it stfu"
I'm from this area and climb residential as well. 2 things I would've looked for in this situation; 1) setting a V rig using a neighboring tree or 2) setting a floating anchor. Both are very valuable when you just don't have that ideal rig point
Love climbing tulip pops. Good to gaff, cuts easy, bark doesn't rip your knuckles. Fairly light wood too for a "hardwood".
Tulip poplar are awesome, my first woodshop project as a kid was made from Tulip poplar. The largest one I have cut here in PA was 52" DBH. Stay safe, thanks for taking us along.
Great video Jacob! I know it's hard when your working in a new town with new people but you are so good at what you do and every day you learn something new.
Thanks for another great video Jake! It’s funny to see you climbing Sprawly Trees and talking about how different it is, when that’s mostly all we have around where I am. It’s worth taking the time to do it safe glad you’re able to move the rigging and make it all work
I love trees. I really love big trees. I burn lots of firewood for heat so I'm always looking for firewood. I really enjoyed watching this. My first time watching a tree crew. Thanks for posting.
I don't know if you remember me but I used to live in Montgomery County in that area did a lot of tree work and did it for 26 years had to retire for medical reasons living in Florida now but it was nice to be able to see the old area and I was really happy to see that you were in my old area.... I used to do a lot of work in the main line, Montgomery County, Bucks County, Chester County, and I was based out of Horsham Pennsylvania... But thank you very much for the video and I do appreciate everything that you do. Keep up on the learning of all different things and from different companies around it will always teach you new experiences and new ways of doing tree work and you will be able to conquer a lot and learn a lot also... Oh always remember to keep your head up high because you got someone living through you right now and I wish I was still in the field
I am really fascinated with the work you do!!! Thanks for documenting it.

Wouldn't even climb a tree. You make it look easy. 👍👍
Jacob, great video once again. We have a few tulip trees on the University of Galway campus in the West of Ireland, they are no where near the size of these. Keep up the good work. And safe climbing. D.
Jake, you’re the 1st tree guy that I’ve ever came across (metaphorically speaking) that had manners, your response to him was “yes please”, was a VERY unusual response that I’ve not ever heard from anyone in the tree business 👏 and even MORE applause! WAY TO GO!!! 👍😊☀️
The training your getting from this company is priceless!
I love the honest edit in this vid. great crew, and a great video. Thanks for sharing!
I'm resident from Pennsylvania. Our yard had two giant Poplar trees. One was taken out after buying house, but other still looking healthy. Was tempted to remove it too and totally redo landscaping, but I just can't get rid of it until it starts going away. Love the foliage and seed pods. Squirrels love 'em too
Something that is required to be the treeman, your doing great and the knowledge you are absorbing, you are the man.
I've been watching your videos since I first started climbing two years ago and I've been doing primarily complex rigging here in east Tennessee during that time. I know you're much more skilled than I am in almost every area but watching you struggle with rigging this tree is quite satisfying to me. Keep up the great videos!

Let's go just got off tree work now I'm watching my buddy couldn't wait for a new video God bless buddy stay safe
I love how humble you are man! That ground guy, although very kind, is way too much of a control freak. It's have been hard for me not to get testy with him. Well done Jake, you're an inspiration to be better!!
Content is awesome. Nobody is doing what you’re doing. Always excited to see what you’re working on next.
Jacob. Always a pleasure to watch and learn.
For the uninitiated, “poplar” in general in the US refers to members of the genus populus. This includes cottonwood, aspen, balsam poplar, etc. Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is actually pretty distantly related but has very soft light wood just like true poplars do, so it just got lumped in to the same group. The “tulip” part comes from the tulip shaped flowers it gets in the spring. It’s not unusual to also see the tree called a tuliptree and some older dudes likes to call it yellow poplar.

Where I live, we have green poplar. It's got a niche use in woodworking for people that do intarsia and inlays using only natural colors of their species of wood. Pretty much every woodworker has a neighbor or relative that's had them cut down a poplar or two and just given them the wood in exchange for their work.

Populus species in the united states are mostly under the names "cottonwood" and "aspen" mostly in the eastern united states. "yellow poplar", "tulip poplar" or sometimes just "poplar" is liriodendron tulipifera (as mentioned above) is a biologically fascinating tree that is a very ancient offshoot from the magnolias/rhododendrons as well as sassafras. it has seen very little genetic variation from the liriodendron fossils uncovered from the time of the dinosaurs making it in some respects a living fossil. even though it is ubiquitous in the eastern united states it is almost completely genetically isolated with the exception of a liriodendron species in china.

To set the record straight.. Tulip trees are not poplars at all, and Are in the Magnolia family.
I worked in east coast for a bit. It's good to have a climber groundie and get their opinion to ensure the safest way to rig. These trees are tricky and a lot could go wrong. But Im sure Jacob really impressed them when dropping that log flat on the ground
I’m binge watching your channel today! Very exciting and fun to watch professionals to their thing which is pretty dangerous!😮I love your channel!
This stuff is fascinating to watch, every aspect you present, both you and Reon Rounds. I am really glad to have found your channel. Keep going. Stay safe.

I used to work for Shreinet Tree Care a few years back, always missing the action but due to my declining health I can no longer do the work. Good work out there, glas I found this channel.
Enjoyed watching this because it was so different. Great ground guy working through the rigging issues with you. I chuckled when you were comparing tulips with cottonwoods, how different they smell and grow. Thing is they aren't actually poplars, they are in the magnolia family. Here in southern Michigan, and south, they are very common and once were the dominent tree. S. Indiana has state forest named Yellow Wood, for these trees. Again love your channel
awesome job Jake. another great video as usual
I have been cutting trees in PA for over 20 years..I was actually trained in Phili..cool to see a poplar video..can be the bread and butter of tree work in that area..gotta give you credit for just bouncing around and trying everything there is to be tried
We have a lot of tulip poplar on our property. Some are easily 140-150'. We have a video of our tree guy dropping one. Easy 6' diameter at the base. Pretty flowers in the spring, cussing the seeds in the fall. Excellent video.

Hi Jacob. Just catching up on your last few vids now. Great show! ☺️
Yes! Another Jacob tree felling video! ☺️
Love it welcome to the east coast baby. Wide sprawling trees and tons of rigging. A good ground guy is worth the world out here. My lead groundie has been in the business for 30+ years. Saved my butt more times than I can count.
Love the video! The bugs at 3:26 were annoying!!! I felt the stoopid thing fly by my ear!! 😝 Those lantern flies are a huge deal....lots of resources tracking them in southern VA and NC. Have a great weekend!
Keep up the great work with some great folk wherever you go.
After watching mainly west coast cutting i now see how drastically different styles techniques and types of species are on video.This particular tree had a nasty lean and spidered out.I love the communication between you and the ground guy.
Love this video, this is the sort of trees we do in the UK most of the time so it’s nice to see how you guys do it 🤙🏼 you can plan everything from the ground but as soon as you get up there it all changes 😂 nice climbing man 🙏
You did great! Enjoyed the video of you in the tree.
Your job is always interesting and I love how you explain every thing. God bless.
These videos are the best. Thank you!
Nice work Jacob. It’s been hot like that most of the summer here in NH. I hate the heat.
Looks like woodpeckers loved the tulip poplar. Beautiful property!

Hey jake, watch you all the time, especially when it’s time to take down some trees. Gotta get in the mode you know lol. I wanted to comment from a dendrology standpoint. The tree in question is also called commonly yellow poplar, Liriodendron tulipifera, which has a native range extending here to Louisiana. Cheers mate.
Tall, straight, forest grown tulip trees are my favorite trees to look at because of the distinct bark pattern. there’s one not too far from my place that has to be 100+ years old (I’ve had to cut some Oak in the same stand that was over 100’ and 100+ years old). It’s 70’ to the first branch and the stem is perfectly straight, bark is perfect and clean, and it’s close to 4’ DBH… beautiful looking tree. Never had to climb one or cut one though.
love the vids , look at all the expierence you are getting , keep it up!
Keep up the good work really enjoy your videos Abbeville South Carolina B safe and have fun 😊
Doing great. Stay confident u have earned it. I've learned tons from your channel. Your respected
Jake! You’re the man! Love your videos! I live in PA on the Mason Dixon Line. I have at least a dozen or f these trees. Quick correction……The Tulip Poplar is not a Poplar. It’s part of a he Magnolia family. A lot call them Tulip Trees. Thanks for all of your great videos!
Great job! I got 2 of the 200t and i love them

Man now you're speaking my language. I'd say a good 3rd of the trees we remove are Tulip Poplar. Watching that first limb just disregard your face cut and fall 90 degrees the other direction brings back sooooo many memories. Two trees that make me nervous are Tulip Poplar and bradford pear. They will split and drop limbs for no reason. I'm from the north Georgia area, just for reference. Something else for you to look into that's mind boggling with tulips Poplars is rainbow Poplar lumber. From what I understand any Tulip Poplar can be a rainbow Poplar. It depends on what the tree is doing when you cut it. I've cut two identical trees, side by side, one was a rainbow Poplar the was not. The lumber is worth a ton of money.
Great video. Thanks
your videos are so sick!! you dont miss.
Not that its any better with somebody else up there but now you know how we feel when you're up there💥💥
Your saws always sound really good; better than the other guys.
261 was ripping 💪, hope you liked your visit to PA
Welcome to the east coast. Our trees are wider then taller.
Tulip poplars are in the magnolia family. They smell like a magnolia and have flowers with a similar form.
Awesome video!
Another great video. The saw is a ripper.

Hi Jacob ,Tulip poplar is in the magnolia family. That’s probably what you’re smelling. Thanks for the video, thoroughly enjoyed it. 👍
Next time you get to PA try coming up farther north like 50 to 100 miles so you can get into some of the big Hickorys n mighty White n Red Oaks maybe you can try your sq cut file in some hard stuff see how it holds up You will find some pretty big white n bull pines to play in aswell as some hemlocks if you keep going north in pa you will find bigger n harder trees
Great video! Your in my stomping grounds!
Have you ever done any work around a power line? Fun challenge lol !!
The guy on the ground just knows EVERYTHING!!
Make sure you go visit that beautiful city Philadelphia they are so proud of 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Keep killing it man !!!
this is more the sort of work we do here in the UK. Nice to see the rigging communicate and using coms makes this sort of work some much less stressful
First time ive seen you do a tree thats a cluster and sprawling like the trees i normally get into.
As you lean different styles,we are right there with you. 😎
Great video bud. It's a Liriodendron, related to the Magnolias not the Poplars. Common names are tricky.
Nothing like the smell of tulip popular. Great firewood also.
That 262 is hungry and sweet. Beautiful saw.
It is interesting cutting in different parts of the country & all the different wood every crew has their Owen style & techniques I have been cutting wood in many different areas East coast is definitely a different animal then round here Dat for sure
Neat dude you crazy climbing that crap. Stay safe.
These liriodendron tulipifera are all over in my city here in south Alabama. They grow crazy fast. They can be prone to falling over in hurricanes though so you gotta watch out sometimes. The flowers are beautiful. You think those leaves are distinctive, check out a southern catalpa.
Hey Jake on your saw lanyard do you use one of them dog leash clips that goes on your saw

Poplar's grow like I imagine Redwood sprouts do. In a ring around the trunk. They are very competitive trees. And taken over since the Chesnutt's were wiped out by blight here in the east.

Tip tying and angled snap cuts help in these types of trees. This technique does involve being able to swing out of the way quickly though. Almost exactly what did with your cut at 27:00. Taking the time to start small and high also pays dividends later. Strong work Jake
@MichaelDavis-fb7fl

I notice they almost never tip tie. Even so, it's Poplar and that kind of wood is only going to hinge so much until it pops off
For 4 or 5 years I used saw lanyard like that and use to do the same little drop and catch the lanyard trick especially when bracing for larger tops and the sway... one day it got ruined so I didn’t have it for the first time in years.. the very next large top I cut I basically dropped the saw from the ground they said looked like I just threw it lol... it broke so they sent me up another 200.. would you believe I threw 2 saws that day within a hour... habits are hard and sometimes expensive to break
It is indeed a "Tulip" Poplar. The leaves have what I think is a tulip shape, but in the spring the tree will be covered with blossoms that look just like yellow tulips. Planted one in my yard 7-8 years ago, and it's already 35' tall with a 16" trunk. Gonna be a BIG tree.
Great segment. Stay safe
I found a Tulip Poplar sapling in myback woods for the first time ever! I thought that was exciting!
Good job Jake 👍
We do a lot of rigging in East TN. Maybe one day you can come out here.
