 Re: Historic Artifact: Catalpa in Jacksonville, Oregon
Well, heard back.
The historical society director gave a go-ahead to start some preliminary work on the tree.
I'm going to start at ground level and work up.
- check the soil condition
- remove as much of the dead embedded vine as possible
- going to save the big abused lower limb
- light thinning
- some reduction of the remaining vine
I think that as some crud is removed from this tree, it will become easier to figure out whats what.
Nothing major this time, just removing the worst stuff and plan the next move.
Considering an increment borer to date the tree and see a fragment of its interior. |
