Adapted from consultation reports by Jeremy Slot, ISA Certified Arborist MI-4072A. Photographs show the actual cases; client names and addresses are omitted. These stories describe observations and recommendations at the time of assessment, not verified treatment or recovery outcomes. Each tree and site requires its own evaluation.
