Antidote to the Tree fellers lust

[David Humphries]

Having had to endure how many different and imaginitive ways, certain Senior members would "lose" the Majestic and beautiful Plane @ Capel, I feel I'm in desperate need to address the balance and let the world know that not all AT members share the sap lust

 

So for starters, here's a mature Q petrea that is subject to heavy lean with tension crack.

 

Assessed site access and decided for a staged retrenchment on compression side of canopy to aliveate stress on the tension side of the root plate.

Due to relative isolation of this tree, have implemented a slightly higher first phase reduction than preffered, as this will not be revisited for 5 years.

The team also carried out halo prunning on the a number of young cerris's to the south, to create more light for the target tree.

NuttyArb carried out the work.

Why not just get rid of the cerris entirely? More light, less non natives, less galls

Too much light = scorch, leading to potential of becoming an ex-tree

 

There's absolutely no way of being black & white with the light question Ime.

I've seen the results of over exposure to Mature & Vets at various other sites.

 

Less is more

 

Think long term return management, not hit and run

 

 

 

cerris are hybridising, possibly with both robur and petrea.

 

could = SuperQuerc !

Hokay. When you wrote "young", that could be anything from a sapling up to my age . Never really had any hands on experience with vet tree management, though like plenty of arby types i've read plenty about and and could probably write a lengthy tome on the subject.

 

Are you sure, really really sure you like the idea of triffid like mutant oaks? They could turn out to be the knot weed with secondary thickening

If the tree is in an isolated spot why go to the trouble of carrying out the work, why not let it just do its thing ?

i can spot a tree from 100 yards

put a fence around it & let nature take its coures to hell with hs crap

With due respect fellas, think you're possibly missing the point
