I got my start logging many years ago. Bought my first chainsaw when I was 12. Went to work for my neighbor bucking logs. Been running saws ever since. I’m 56 and it never gets old. Transitioning from a logger to a climber took a while and I learn something new every day. As I always say, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement and we all need to visit it once in a while. I know I try to spend time there. August, you’re the best I know. What I have learned has been mostly from you. So thank you and God bless you, may His favor be upon you. Stay safe my friend and keep climbing.

they are beech trees. I have been working with beech trees since the start of December of 2023. Here in Denmark, they can reach 40 meters ( about 140 feet). Keep up the good work you guys!

Indeed, Fagus sylvatica fastigiata koster. Or its the : Fagus sylvatica Frans Fontaine. Hard to determine without leafs. Nice treework! I watch almost every video. im a treeworker from the Netherlands the beech trees around here stop at about 35 meters. Greetings

Definitely a Beech tree. heavy strong wood.

The homes that they work around are generally beautiful. With gigantic roofs!

When a customer expects the lawn like you repaired, I say you get it.

Great video! I appreciate how attentive y’all were to the lawn and sidewalks! That means a lot!❤❤❤

Another fun episode - thanks for bringing us along August. Love those one pick crane jobs

Another masterful performance August,right on the mark!

MonkeyBeaver crew using the crane even when you can't use the crane.....😉 .....and that knife is really slick! Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲 Randy

Beautiful building and grounds. I saw the chipper munching this tree in a short. 😊

In the uk they are know as beech trees and with out doubt the best burning timber you can put in your fire ,very clean burn hot with very little ash

Fancy house, fancy trees. Cultivar of some sort. Fastigiate beech?

Looks like a beech maybe. Ive also seen yellow poplar grow very viney like that too tho. Its crazy how different 2 trees of the same species grow less than 100 miles apart.

That appears to be a rather large knife. Cool little job, thanks for filming it.

Enjoyed the video. Excellent felling and crane work. Thanks for sharing.

Even the mundane everyday Monkey Beaver on the job videos are interesting for me. Anytime a crew strives for excellence, going above and beyond is alway worthy of acknowledgment in my book. Not to mention the serious pocket knife. 😁

The bark looks like a beech tree. Leaves would help to make a proper id.

Looks like some kind of Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus)

Giving me the Chinese Corkscrew Willow vibes. They always die at that size, and have identical branches.

The power of that chipper amazes me every time!👍👍

you pulled that knife like crocodille dundee!

The trees you have seen in August's posts. Are any mill able timber? Is there a resource in suburbia that can be tapped?

I have some marine ply off cuts and some heavy vinyl tarps for ground protection, it's not about what you take away it's how you leave the site that people see every day. Good blade there

Yeah, that is not an oak. Looks like carpinus betulus fastigiate - pyramid hornbeam like a few have said.

Cool video. As always, Nice job guys. 👍

Dear August. Big ask. Could you make a video on using a mini skid-steer in tree work. How you find it useful for this kinds work we do. Im trying to convince my boss to buy one so we can stop breaking our backs loading logs. Thanx for continuing to make these very real tree work videos.😊

That's Bob. Bob was a pretty cool tree but he is dead now.

The sound that your crane truck makes is soothing. God has blessed you Brother. 🙏🏻

I grew up ( or spent the first three decades in) the Phoenix area, so I’m familiar with Mesquite, Saguaro, Prickly Pear, Pine- you got the picture….moved to very Upstate New York (Canada border up enough?) and have the “ it’s a tree, it’s growing too close with no roots and will take out the house “ situation. It’s great for me to see that even a skilled expert Beaver is occasionally stumped, but West Chazy concur on the end results 😂!

Possibly ‘Corylus colurna’ Turkish Filbert Can have very upright habit, almost columnar. Would need to see leaves and or buds to be confident.

You need a spading fork on your truck, it would help fluf the ground back out where the 6x6’s were, works for tire tracks also . Love your videos !!

Gosh that crane is Awesome !!!! And would be so great to be able to chip stuff that big 😁😁👍

Awesome job brother

I thougth I saw a couple of leaves on that 2nd one as it was going into the chipper. WOulda been nice to have seen those up close. But others have said beech of one fore or another. Bark sure looks like it.

About 95% sure that a kind of beech, cut them in PA. They are also called muscle tree back where I’m from. Best dugout canoes were made of them. That big Vermeer is a tree-eating beast!

Nice job & nice knife!

My best guess would be it is a Carpinus betulus. Greetings from Holland

You guys need to get Sam out on the job sights sometime. Add some more intriguing content to your already spectacular edumatainment. ( as Buckin would say)

11:35 "Isn't that cool?" According to Runkle of the Bailey (KZread) it may well be illegal in Canada. Basically, any folding knife that can be opened in less than 30 minutes (Comedy Alert) is illegal in Canada. Good luck.

Looks like a gaint old school broom August.

Nice job August Dundee

Nice 60 tx. That’s what I use at work. Looks like an older model, apparently the new production ones have problems galore

think I looks like a beech (fagus sylvatica ‘dawyck gold’ perhaps) I could be wrong tho, love the vids august keep it up

Oak in columnar growth i know is a Crimson Spire Oak. cork screw is throwing it off for me.

That's upright grown beech tree Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck' or a other Fastigiate beech

Might be a Fagus Sylvatica "Dawyck". A type of european beech.

Kind of looks like an "English Oak", 😁

Looks like some sort of beech tree to me. Not sure, becouse of the vines looking branches. But the bark and wood look like it.

Smooth like butta

Well done chaps

A columnar beech of some variety?

My guess is Liriodendron tulipifera 'Fastigiatum' or tulipwood.

I got the Rajah II.....I take it with me on hikes in the bush. It would be a great knife for land surveyors.......it's literally a folding machete,

Bottom look like Beech but the branches aren’t spreading.

It looks like an Upright English Oak (Quercus Robur Fastigiata).

Pyramidal European Hornbeam perhaps. Just guessing here

It’s called a tree of heaven

Now that's a knife

I run a muff buzzer saddle its cool.

Hello, August!) Congratulations with Ukraine arborist Peter Hobel. This is tree is Carpathian buck. Thanks for your team and jobs

It's a sub variety of pin or swamp oak. It's a younger tree before the bark gets rough

@davidc2012

That's kinda what I was thinking... I've heard them called "water oak", "pin oak" & "willow oak". They have a smoother bark like this when they're fairly young, but the bark gets much rougher as they age. They can grow relatively fast... my grandparents planted some about 50 years ago & some are pushing 6' across.

Is note a hornbeam, definitely family of the beach trees, I say European upright beach. You know for the way the breanches are. Is not a oak either. Definitely beach.

Hornbeam, Vestige Beech?

Identification... "It's dead, Jim." Sorry, I just HAD to say that.. 😁

Makes me think European Hornbeam.

American basswood

Beech cultivar?
