Have been asked to quote for some Halo thinning and stoggling to some verteran trees. Only problem is what the heck is 'stoggling'??? Have not come across this term before. No way I am going to ask the client. Please help and save my embarrassment please.

Well Steve so I have been told it's when you clear the surface area underneath the tree canopy ie scrub etc ???

 

spose that makes sense.. opposed to halo pruning (reducing the crowns of trees overhanging/encroaching on the tree you are trying to preserve.

 

a quick google suggests to 'stoggle' is to cause great, even overwhelming surprise... so best sneak up on those trees.

 

 

i'd be suspicious of your client testing you with bullsquit terms to see if you bite

It's a cracking read and in essence, explains nothing:

Or maybe it's a way of helping someone believe they are getting fitter:

It doesn't score much in 'Scrabble' and in any case, it's a shameful waste of an S and two Gs.
