    yes I agree, but would also say that there is a very large band of reaction zone there so maybe not as knee jerk as you may accuse yourself of.

    its exactly how I too would manage this association. Failure occurs in longer slenderness ratio cases with increasingly narrow T/R ratios, pollarding addresses the issues and once the new framework of foliage is re established carbohydrates are closer to where they are needed for any compensation.

    Sean, a shear bomb is a short central crack which stops where the neutral fiber is at around a metre or two, a shear crack is a shear bomb crack its all shear force but shear bombs are almost normal developmental proscess. Its a complicated thing to explain in this format but..... theres three shears, seperation shear crack, where a root delaminates along with a volume of the stem, VERY dangerous. Shear crack whereby the leaning tree for example delaminates to to tension on upper side and compressive force lowerside forces a sgear plane along the centre fibres also pretty knarly and a shear bomb whereby the forces of the crown and roots cancel each other out at the wrist of the sttem hence the "nuetral fibres":thumbup: if that doesnt help phone me i will explain till your happy:thumbup:

    get on with it do the best job you can make of it or someone else will take it and do a less than ideal hack. sometimes you got to do the best of a bad job rather than let a tonka give it a stonka!

    going on the state of the folige the expense in its creation is debilitating the tree, thats a massive burden of growth, never have I seen such a large burr for such a small tree. I always appreciate shots like this, we can all learn so much from such a simple thing.
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    awesome burr, would suggest something bacterial or fungal causing the burr reaction, stonking example
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
