I never thought I’d write one book, let alone three. It started with The Way of a Tree—a deep dive into nature’s wisdom. Then came The Transcendent Blueprint, tracing universal principles from trees to all things. Now, I’m working on something far greater—Truth, Science, and the Bible. Twice the length, 100x the effort. The best work I’ve ever done. Until then, The Transcendent Blueprint is the place to start: store.bookbaby.com/book/the-… #TranscendentBlueprint #Truth #Science #TheWayofATree #CDOlso

Honored to help the Food Bank of Iowa with Vitality Assessments and EAB control on this remaining green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) We couldn’t save them all, but retaining this one will be a testimony to future generations. #motivation #local #Iowa #foodbank #community

Urban Tree Watering utilizes water harvesting techniques to assist with shortages and offset the usage of potable water. Quantifiable Tree Watering is our best form of water conservation. Season - regulates frequency Size - regulates volume Health - regulates duration

Does your tree have girdled roots caused by a wire basket? The correct course of action would be removal of as much of the basket as possible without damaging the roots of the tree. Light root collar followed by water, mulch. Consulting an Arborist would also be advisable.
