Gardener referrals in Bellingham, WA from Jan 15, 2016
Eric H. asked:
Let me get the core of my problem: I have two large apple trees in need of expert pruning. I contacted a master gardener, but she does not work at heights. Rather than call a tree-cutting service, I am hoping for someone with fruit tree experience. Any suggestions, dear friends?
Christi B. answered:
Following. I have 4 apple and 2 pear trees that are 30 years old and haven't been pruned in at least 15-20 years. I'd love to clean them up.
Dar N. answered:
We use Tim Davis aka The Tree Surgeon for pruning and think he is great.
Christy N. answered:
I prune fruit trees for a living but have taken the year off to chase a toddler. Tim Davis is great. If I was going to hire someone to prune my fruit trees I would call Leif Swanson at 599-1746 (i have his number memorized bc I trust him that much). Leif loves fruit trees and he will prune them properly, most tree guys will happily butcher fruit trees, though most do not understand how they grow.

For around $250 you can buy a 25" long Stihl Japanese saw with an extension handle. It cuts like magic and is great exercise.
