Toward a Pollard

[David Humphries]

Hornbeam,

 

Ganoderma resinaceum,

 

Digi micro probed,

 

First phase reduction,

 

Return for next phase in two years.

 

............Done.

 

 

.

[not for sale sorry]

am i missing somthing, how come they did not want the other part of the tree over the grass done at the same time?

[timtree81]

thought it looked lovely before it was reduced

[janey]

Have carried out anything more in depth than a VTA? I would be curious to see the extent of the decay

Digi micro probed,

 

 

.

 

 

 

That would be a Sibtec Digital Micro probe.

 

Bit like a Resistograph...........but not

 

 

Asymetrical coloum of decay, that didn't particularly ring any major jingly jangly things at this time.

Oops, sorry, I shouln't have been so lazy and just skimmed the text before I went to the pretty pictures

I would have pruned for shape and form, even given the later further reduction, but thats just my style.

Who's "they"

Shape and form not a player here for me, as it's not Mrs Miggins beloved back garden pride & joy.

 

This is a work toward pollard.

 

Time frame, repeat phase & ongoing assesment are the indicators that will & do manage this particilar woody thing.

 

I guarantee this future phase pruned pollard, would not see the light of another day, in most, if not any other La La land had VTA'd & hazard assesed.

 

 

 

Not posted for aesthetic marks

 

If it was I'd have prefixed with......"what d'ya think of this reduction"

if it had been VTA assesed it would have been felled in any other La la land?

 

I thought you said the decay wasnt that bad? so surely, you mean its T/R ratio was within accepted standards within VTA methodology?

 

So would it have been felled in another La la land?

 

As for the asthetics, its no harder to prune to form than to do what has been done here?

 

Sorry david, just reminds me of those at Hatfield, which i also dont agree with!

Hatfield doesn't have 7 million visits a year, though, does it.

 

& I didn't say that "it wasn't that bad."

 

I said it didn't ring any major jingly jangly things.

 

That's my assesment of my tree, that will have me keeping an eye on it.

 

Consistant inspection.

 

 

the micro probe didn't have a hell of a lot of resistance path side
