As for your namecalling, sticks and stones, and btw you are flat wrong on several counts with your fear-addled risk assessment strategy. Sean spoke for me on that. 
I just condemned 4 mature Liriodendron last week. When i learn to downsize pics I will post em. 
Here's a review of the Schwarze book, written 5+ years ago by your friendly silly immature risk assessor. Love ya Dave, mean it! 
The isa Journal version is butchered; the editors insisted I hack it back from 800 words to 500, then when they printed it, it was on the top half of the page, and the bottom half was....BLANK! 
Soon they will have new editors, thank goodness. |
I enjoyed the Cliff's (Guy's) notes on this marvelous book. It is a very well written article.
I would immediately apologize for the name calling if you had not labeled me an "arborphobe" and a "sawdustluster" in another thread. I have a deep love for trees and my readings and knowledge should add some credence to that.
It is enlightening to, through this post, find that you do at times decide to remove a live tree on occasion. It makes those of us who have been chastised for considering that option by you more accepting of your opinions.
You, on the other hand, might be more thoughtful from your perspective when others have to make such a difficult and impacting decision that they may have taken all things into consideration that you did when condemning those tulip trees. We may just know what we are doing as well as you do.
This is part of "significant tree management" that is an arborist's responsibility.
