tree marking paint

[Joseph Zorzin]

I've been buying tree marking- and boundary paint for years from
Nelson Paint Company and in recent years I've been asking them
to get up a web site. They now have the beginning of one at
http://nelsonpaint.com/

Their salesperson said that it will expand so that you'll be
able to order their paint and tree marking guns online.

Tree marking paint? How un-environmental, Joe. All those hydrocarbons.
An axe mark is so much more friendly to those poor helpless doomed
trees. And is cheaper.

BY the way: do Yanks use biodegradable chain oil? A few people do in UK,
but in many Euro countries, its now obligatory.

Probably carcinogenic. But, I feel like an "arteest" painting circles on the
trees. Commrade Karl "Marx" Davies emailed me a photo showing a job in
progress- with some trees marked in blue paint. I then used Photoshop to
remark the job in orange, to look like one of my marking jobs- see

Hmmm... never gave it a thought. I doubt there is such a thing on this side
of the pond.

But of course you Euros are so much more sophisticated than we Yanks. I can
tell by your movies. <G>

It is actually. You can get vegetable based chain oil at Baileys. I
also insist on it (canola) for hydraulic fluid - sometimes its mandatory
when we run heavy equipment (the Spider) in streams. It's much kinder to
salmonids than petrochemicals.

All with a permit, of course.

Tree paint. Gha!

Marking trees to be harvested in silvicultural projects and marking
boundaries. It's a specially engineered paint that can be used in very cold
weather, unlike house paint.

Next you'll be telling us "Euros" to leave the rooves of our cinemas so we
can see the trees.
