“Don’t touch this”, Mature ornamental maple tree, pruning 101 .

I know you told us it’s a maple tree but I’m looking at that flag up there in the video and that’s a maple leaf I think

I enjoy this specialized pruning you do as much as the stump making. Cheers.

you love this tree . I remember well when you did this à few years ago on video. pruning videos are so valable and helpfull .thanks buckin

Buckin, you are awesome! You remind me of my uncle. Always looking out for others...Thanks you for another great post and its neat to see decent people like yourself in the world today. Makes the heart happy so thank you sir

Beautiful tree indeed

You ARE a dreamer Buckin! Dudes on his way to the liquor store with a smile !

I wish I would someday have the strength to just stop smoking weed. Instead, I just smoke a ton of weed daily and work and do my stuff at home. Its starting to wear me down after 10 years of daily smoking... I just don't have the strength to stop. When its firewood season for me, I smoke before, during and after logging.. I am slowly starting to realise that I havent exactly fufilled some of my desires simply due to me rather getting high.. Heck, back in high school I would ignore girls who would want to hang out just because getting high was that much more important to me.. I feel full of excuses but to be honest, I just feel lost and have been hiding my addiction from my wife.. She knows, just not up to what extent.. Oh well..

I needed this video!
I’m trying to bring some life back to a 35+yr plumb tree that the electric company slaughtered the top. I’ve cleaned all the crap out underneath but been hesitant to go removing anything not obviously dead.
Thanks Buckin

I'm very glad you shared this video. Thanks Buckin.

LOVED this job great to see those older beautiful trees being taking care of properly.

That's a great property. Betcha' business would pick up if you toured the place in detail. Might be a nice destination for vacation next year. Thanks for sharing.

This was nice

Pruning, a wonderful surprise! Thanks a branch Buckin', ✌️🙏🏼❤️

I’ve been trying to teach my grandson how to prune trees

I learned a lot today

Looks like a beautiful bonsai 🤙🤘

Buckin' having to use his Library vocal level today!!!😄

It’s amazing that we can rip through huge timber and explode them with axes. Then...fine tune prune. I personally love thinning, reducing and crown raising

It’s becoming a lost art. The rule of thirds is fundamental to every prune and taking the time will save rapid regrowth or stems rotting back. Nice one Buckin

Love the videos and your work great job man

I absolutely love how passionate you are about what you do. Thank you for giving all of us a glimpse

Big fan of this video!! I've been pruning fruit and specimen trees for 4 years now and that's what started my business. We have alot of Japanese thread leaf maple and weeping cherry's around my part. I've had the pleasure of planting many of them.

Following your example, been getting hay ready in Idaho. I’ve had this friend since 1975, coming to labor cause he’s short help. A lot of fun!!!!

@My old home in Little Rock, my Ex & I had planted a "Bloodgood" Japanese Maple some 25 years B4 we sold & moved to a different neighborhood. Less than a month after closing, the new owner cut it down completely! Having been offered $3K for it a couple years previously, we sure regretted leaving it behind just to see it destroyed! My point: these little guys have significantly MORE than sentimental value! Before you remove one, check with a trusted local nursery or greenhouse operation, they'll have a buyer almost certainly...

As a landscaper I get into this stuff quite a bit and I really appreciate learning more about this.
I do trim mostly in this manner

Great content!

You obviously love trees and know what you are doing! Having said that, you are really hard to understand. "Let light in" seems to be a principle. Okay, on what basis are the branches that must go chosen? I am not in your league but have learned that the problem with inner branches are those, usually new or secondary growth, that cross over, hogging light from a primary or secondary branch in its rightful place.

Removing the crossers opens the interior and by default gives some of those openings in the canopy you emphasize. Damned if I know, but maybe you can clarify? It seems you are placing your emphasis too far from the principle I understand, removing branches that try to take the place of better positioned branches, resulting in a dense, overly shaded interior. Hope this makes sense.

Under that "duck-egg-tree"... so romantic... perfect place for a first time kiss ;)

I call this kind of trimming “sharing the load” trimming. My customers are always happy with it.

Thanks Buckin, I just learned to leave that inner growth!

You know Buckin', I love your tree cutting. I watch all the time but the main reason I watch is that I love your heart and kindness.

Hi, Just curious, are you adopted? Your mannerisms are much the same as my husband's. Not joking.

You are so right buckin people prune trees and have no idea. I had a tree in my yard when I moved in and it was just ugly cause people took alsorts through it and hacked at it the tree was really battered and the wounds we're just ugly but with careful training and treatment and little tiny cuts like your doing managed save it and it's going strong now. 🌲👍

Makes me want to start pruning my trees myself. Thanks Buckin’. “Scoop de boop”

You're the Bob Ross of actual landscapes. Beautiful property!

Nice documentary.

Hi buckin Billy Ray sir. I would love to buy an axe off you. I'm from Brisbane Australia and would love it if you could tell me how I may be able to order a axe thankyou sir. Shout out Ganges

The plant isnt going to waste energy making leaves, or maintaining branches that dont get sunlight. Always telling clients this

Such a good one. Really enjoyed that.

Great crown thinning! That chinese horse chestnut is a belter! Wow, I didn't realise they were such weepers. Is this a top worked graft? Maybe it is topophysis due to the scion selection 🤔

beautiful work mate

I love how you worded that
Stump making👍

Giving that guy $15 bucks spoke to me. When I was in Miami this young kid came up to me asking for money because he was hungry. I said your dressed pretty fresh are lying to me. He lifted up his shirt “look man I’m skinny” gave him about 15 dollars so he could get a pizza. Then he just hugged me in the streets.

Nice work 👍
*I watched the whole video now 😅
Beautiful chestnut!
That prehistoric rhubarb is called Gunnera manicata, they get giant! Could also be Gunnera tinctoria, those are a bit smaller than manicata.
Great work, Buckin'‼️

New pruning mantra "scoopdy poop"

beautiful tree. I have two decent old maples in my yard. Trying to learn more about them so I can help them continue to live a long time. The people who owned this place before me were very neglectful when it came to home and yard care. It's my first home too so I've just been have a blast learning and fixing things. This spring I am going all out on my yard and garden.
