A-Z of tree terms

[philipwilson]

Thanks Rob, that's a good one. I'll be adding it shortly. Got any more up your sleeve?

Hi Philip,

 

What about fasciation?

Thanks Rob, I'll add 'fasciation' shortly. Got any other good ones up your sleeve?

Outstanding resource there Philip - and a very broad approach.

 

How about anastomosis and inosculation?

[Graham]

Layering?

Hi Philip,

Good one, Rob, thanks a lot. I've written a draft entry (and another including David's 'pseudosclerotic layer') but can't upload them to the treeterms website for the moment - some kind of access problem my IT guy has to fix.

Some pretty high-class terms there, Tony!

I'm not sure what context you have in mind, but in the context of natural grafts I'm not sure they add much to the plain English. However, I was led by your suggestions to look into tree training for artistic purposes or to make furniture - amazing! I've definitely got to put something in about that, and your terms will find a place there. So many thanks!

Layering?

I think you'll find that 'layer' is there already. Have another go, Graham!

Looks pretty good, but you've left out Lay-by

(As either a home for tree operatives or a disposal venue)

No problem, I'll see if I can think of any more

One of my favourite words from back in college

 

Ramification.

I don't know if it's any use but thought I would join the party.

 

Look forward to reading your hard work.

 

p.s. Nice one Rob I like fasciation!
