Über diesen Titel

This is a podcast of the stories of those working in the tree care industry. We are a unique breed of folk who dangle our fleshy bodies in trees to make a buck. We are not paid or considered "skilled" like other working-class trades like plumbers or electricians though our jobs are much more dangerous. Our own industry buries us with constant work while we fear lay off right around the corner. We are judged and paid by how many certifications we have or don't have. We are told we are part of the growing green industry but no matter how important people say we are, we are still just Tree Scum and we are proud of it.


This podcast will be stores from the host Chris Rippey, a veteran in the tree game and owner of the Missouri Arborist Company, and interviews of his scummy friends.

  • Are certifications and qualifications helping the tree care industry or not?
    Oct 29 2025

    In this episode I talk about all the certifications and qualification that i have and whether or not I find them beneficial. I also talk about how certifications fund your local ISA chapter and how these organizations and the big ISA must make new qualifications once older ones hit their market saturation point to continue meeting revenue goals. I also talk about how I would structure credentialling to better fit workers needs and pout them above corporate profit.

  • Being helpful as a tree consultant, the worst person I have ever met, and report writing
    Oct 15 2025

    The worse person I have ever met is a person who values stuff over anything else. This is also a person who only thinks of themselves and will try to get your kids taken from you because they want a free tree removal. I met this person while working a tree job and in this episode I talk about how a good consultant could have helped this situation out.

  • Practical wisdom of Emerald Ash Borer treatments and what it is like to own a small tree company.
    Oct 8 2025

    In this episode I go over what it is like to own a small tree company and the practical details of treating trees of Emerald Ash Borer infestation. Hopefully you can see how stressful running a small company is but also see why the industry is heading to a place where only very small and very large companies will exist. I also go how to identify Emerald Ash Borer infestations, how to make money offering this service, and how to identify if it is appropriate to treat a particular tree.
