uneccessary branch removals?

[Mark Bolam]

If a tree could speak, would it ever request pruning?

Probably!

Probably!

 

I think not

I think it would ask for a hair cut so to speak.

I think not

 

 

It might just let a limb or two die back a bit in times of stress, just as a hint.

If thats true, why on earth do they wast so much energy creating regrowth???

 

How would you feel if someone stitched up half your mouth dramatically reducing your ability to feed????

How would you feel if nobody cut yer hair and it turned into dreadlocks that suffocated you, and nobody cut yer nails and they dug into you causing you to have festering sores?

I'm only kidding like, but there is some pruning that is probably beneficial to the tree whether the tree knows it or not.

Skyhuck, I think it is the will to live and that sort of thing, hair for that matter grows faster in the summer than any other time on humans,as far as feeding I have never considered having my mouth stitch 1/2 way or otherwise, guess I could be fed by IV? all this has something to do with unnecessary branch removals:001_huh:

How about trees requesting trunk augmentations?

Injections of lignin to boost size of stem hur hur hur.

That really would be tree surgery eh?

You compare leaves to hair

 

 

I am a little shocked at your apparent total lack of even very basic knowledge regarding tree biology:001_huh:, the reason unnecessary branch removal reduces the trees ability to feed is because leaves are how a tree does feed, its called photosynthesis.

 

If you remove foliage from a tree it must replace those lost leaves in order to feed, hence the rapid regrowth.
