That is such a BS throw away comment that you cant use without qualification.

 

You asked for qualification, ok.

 

"David is definitely in the "keep the fungus ridden tree" camp"

 

Where is David?

 

"because he often has the option of intervention pruning

 

Who doesn't have this option?

 

"and removing targets and has a mandate to protect amenity.

 

Our clients hire us to conserve amenity

 

"That is a good and laudable course of action but for most that's not an option.

 

BS. We seldom move targets, but we always prune and manage amenity.

 

"Don't underestimate the population density on this small island, as tree surgeons, most of the trees we deal with influence at least one other property"

 

Yes they add amenity to many properties.

 

" and since we became a litigious society people willing to retain compromised trees are becoming a minority.

 

BS. The majority want to preserve amenity. *All trees are compromised* in one way or another--Location, Structure, regular abuse by humans, potential pathogens by the score…Risk entrepreneurs who exaggerate compromised trees are part of this litigiousness issue.

 

''This tree has got a aggressive primary decay pathogen that will eventually compromise the structural integrity of the tree'

 

BS. it will, or it MAY? Compartmentalisation happens; you have heard of this phenomenon? Perhaps less likely with this fungus/host relationship, but possible nonetheless. CODIT is more likely when arborists manage roots, but most of them don't. Slackers dismiss arboricultural options, and manage vegetation.

 

" something is going to have to be done sooner or later.

 

A throwaway comment if ever there was one. :001_rolleyes:

 

Is that sufficient qualification? :001_smile:

That's awfully confused and I cant be bothered picking through it. Suffice to say, you aren't at all experienced in UK arboriculture, or the UK in general.

 

Most people don't engage us to preserve amenity, they call when they have a problem with a tree. Trees do provide amenity but they also blight other properties, I suggest you have a look at how housing has developed in the UK and just how close most properties are.
