TPO Ring Barked Oaks

[Amelanchier]

A while back someone mentioned the idea (for better or worse) of ringbarking a tree before a TPO could be placed upon the it to secure a removal.

 

We have recently TPO'ed 10 oaks (as part of a wooland order) in just such a state.

 

They ain't dead.

They ain't dying.

They ain't dangerous.

 

They are protected!

 

We shall see how it all plays out...

[Mr Ed]

Cambium still intact?

[Amelanchier]

In places. Guy who ringed them was rubbish. Bet he's regretting not learning his tree biology ha ha.

 

We're gonna bust out some grafts.

double ringed works best

[Mr Ed]

Warrington borough council put a TPO on some high oak stumps left behind by an avaricious developer- sure enough the stumps sprouted and are now supporting vigorous coppice growth.
