 Re: Cathedral Square Brisbane Case Study
nice job Eric, showing the poor response in the year since, and the bark damage due to sunscald at the base of the good branches and starvation below the big cuts.
Yeah I remember the "experimental" story, but forgot the condition of the tree before the work. Hebicide? If it was bad that would tend to give them more of an out.
With all the new wounds tho it seems the tree will be declared a removal, mainly due to poor pruning. /who did it,the head of the isaac or the qaa? no isa company here in the usa would want their stamp on that work, no matter how bad of the tree was before.
Speaking of Missouri, I'll be speaking at their chapter conference next march. I'll be referring to the anti-topping campaign, and inserting a pro-heading cut after storm damage message. It favors ENDOcormic growth, from suppressed buds, much better than epicormic growth from adventitious buds. |
