    i think if we use it with wisdom and consideration rather than force fed and in your face we might get a better faster uptake into general arboriculture. too much too soon will slow its progress as an everyday technique and we do need to be doing this, using this method more universaly in my opinion, in its place.

    I will add Acer campestre, the field maple to that too. Sycamore appears to me as its favourite host, very common on this host. It appears to me, that it particular likes that scenario of coalesence when several limbs are removed in a lift situation, just an observation.

  23. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    My only critisism of this method is it always seems to me that its overdone? what I mean is, that maybe we should be doing our normal thing target pruning and encouraging good form but maybe corents on say three to four scaffolds within the crown rather than going mental and doing the whole tree?
