Agreed! Some muppet gave the client a price of $1200 to take the tree down, while my take down price would have been nearer $1900. However, after some arm twisting and me going on at him not to take it down we persuaded him to keep it. The price for the all the 'tree preservation' work came to over $2000. I'm happy, client is happy and the tree is too.....And my phone has rang twice this morning from neighbours seeing my crew and truck 'saving' this great looking tree.

I really think that there needs to be a much greater shift here in the UK towards tree preservation and seeing Trees as an ongoing cash crop and not just the big one off pay check.

Very nice set up TWM, BTW

he went for some air spade excavation, root pruning, canopy work and a cambistat application.

 

Wont the Cambistat decrease the tree's ability to react in the optimum way against the root pruning wounds and canopy work (more wounding)? Why use the Cambistat now, when you have just done all that pruning work?

[TheTreeWiseMen]

We combined the cambistat app with a 'rhizo fuel' and 'root grow' app too.

That doesn't make sense, so you applied a growth regulator with two growth promoters? Wont they cancel each other out? How do you know the Cambistat wont destroy the rhizo fuel and root grow organisms?

The cambistat was applied at a reduced rate, so it won't retard canopy growth....it will redirect the trees energy to different 'departments' within the tree. A more fiberous root system, better drought stress resistance etc.

One amongst many very impressive specimens

Saw this while on holiday last week, the tower was about 120 foot and the biggest of the olive trees was about 15 foot and around 18" thick at the base. the picture is a bit crap but you get the idea.
