In this episode of Land Language, we sit down with Jacob Holmstead, founder of Samsara Tree Care in Portland, Oregon. Jacob walks through what he reads on a client's property, why most chemical intervention traces back to a planting decision made decades ago, and what it takes to pass real knowledge to a homeowner in the fifteen minutes a quote allows.
