 Anne Frank Horse Chestnut Tree
Hoping to show both reports to a Dutch speaker later this week and ask them to translate properly, hopefully some of the nuances lost by the machine may come out then. For me the picus is unconvincing and contradictory, but then have never based any decision soley on one measure, and I'm sure Mr Werner didn't either. I've seen that many brackets on much smaller trees that are still standing and probably will stand for many years yet...even without any improved care/conditions....however this chestnut was not a small tree and the targets are high/great....counter that with the fact that this tree is of extraordinary significance and you get a sense of the dilemma. Its not surprising that there is so much disagreement about the right course of action, and even more disagreement about the assessments.
