Have a read of the veteran tree management handbook by Helen Read it tells you all about sap risers in there it keeps the sap coming up to feed the new growth. Older trees take a real knock back when they have all the boughs taken off in one go:001_smile:

I have a ms 650 according to the stihl catalogue i need a 13/64 or5.2 round file but every time i send a chap to the shop to get one he comes back with 7/32 or 5.5 which they say is the right file for my saw. So what size file do you guys use or is there some brainy person who can help me. 7/32 is not right it files the hook away:001_smile:
