Weak CODITers - birch, poplar, willow, horse chestnut, spruce, tsuga and, to a lesser degree ash.

 

Good CODITers - beech, elm(?), hawthorn, hornbeam, sycamore, pine, yew (also Euro. Lime and English Oak)

 

Taken from 'The CODIT Principle' (ISA publication, translated from German to English/American )

 

It indicates the wood structure, and particularly parenchyma and vessels arrangement is critical.

 

An excellent book, expensive at £48 but very informative and updates some of the original Shigo stuff.

 

Cheers,

Paul

I thought lime was poor along the vessels as it was unable to block them with tyloses so exuded a weak waxy substance through pits in the walls to try and block them

Thanks for all your suggestions/help. Much appreciated. I am doing my level 4 online. The college don't have learning materials for everything covered on the course and I can't afford all these books. I've bought what I can though. Cheers
