Picus comparison

[christcking]

I'll try again.......

 

Thought y'all might be interested in the a to b comparison of a picus reading of a tree that was then removed. Middle aged sycamore good vigor considering the wound.

Thanks for sharing Chris

 

How was the structure of the trunk from base to crown break?

 

Any shots of it before it was felled?

 

Cheers

I'm guessing that the picus didn't display what you wanted it to? Lol

HI Chris. What version of the software are you running, out of interest? It looks fairly accurate to me, presuming that the loss of density is more gradual (from green to pale brown near the edge of the decayed area) than it looks in the picture.

 

Obviously, it's showing a crack in the centre of the decayed area which doesn't look obvious. Have you tried adjusting the crack detection sensitivity in the software?

 

 

Thanks for posting.

is that stump at ground level?

was the picus reading taken at ground level or higher up.

 

looks quite accurate to my uneducated eye
