Interesting Book from 70's

Mate showed me this book. From 1976. It shows you how things have changed a bit!!!

Front Cover

First Pic,

Using an auger to install a drainage channel at the bottom of a cavity

Second pic,

Finished treatment, Cover to prevent cavity filling up and drain at the bottom

A couple more,

First one,

Putting the "Final" cut on a branch prune. "Flush with the trunk to reduce die-back and to improve appearence"

Second one,

"An example of flush cutting : top rounded off with a chainsaw ; lower cuts adequately flush and more likely to callus evenly"

Wow! Flush cuts out the wazoo!

Last few,

Filling in cavities with expanding foam and trimming back to give a natural apprearence, the foam can now be painted with wood sealant.

Don't know if this one will come out, Look for the recommended clothing for tree works.

Cheers for looking.

I've got a copy of the book signed by the chap on the front cover, a Mr John Whitehead. He was one of my lecturers at Merrist Wood.

Looks like a good read.

Who knows what we'll be saying in another 30 yrs looking back.

ah good to see pics like that
