Do you have any pics of this happening with simulated chainsaw coronet tear cuts David or does it only work with actual tears ?

 

I'll have a look through my files Matty, but fairly sure that its only been witnessed where we have initiated long fracture strips.

 

Coronets by themselves usually don't have enough exposed cambium.

Would have thought the action of chainsawing would cause a small amount of damage to the cambium which wouldn't encorage bud development - just thinking back to the experiment of axes vs chainsaws on pollarding, where axe work was mre likely to produce more shoots due to less vibrations ---if I remember correctly!

Axe cuts certainly produce more bud development than chainsaw cuts from the experiments that I have seen Pat.

 

This one below from 10 years ago in the Basque was axe cut left side & chainsaw on the right.
