Rate the Collar cut

Basically this is an Arborist game. What you do is, you rate the above posters collar cut out of 5 and you can leave feedback.

I'll go first on a picture of a Eucalypt' I just recently pruned.

Honestly, I cant tell from that pic.

JohN Dee · 24th December 2007, 02:44 AM

That is the only other view of it I have.

When you say you can't tell - do you want a pic with the ridge in it?

Ekka · 24th December 2007, 11:29 AM

Yeah, need to see the BBR and closer, hard to tell from all those pics.

On that one I cant tell if it's a collar or collarless union.

Sometimes a before shot helps coz we can see swelling but if you've cut bang on line then we could not see that swelling to easily after the cut.

I agree with Ekka it is difficult to tell but if the cut is right, the wound wood should be doughnut shaped.

Must be close if not bang on i reckon

. Good size wound though...
