Hi please could someone tell me the difference between just being a member of the arboricultural association or being accredited as tree consultant in their website The criteria for accreditation are on the website of the Arboricultural Association but I can't find it 

Hi me again and the horse chestnut tree.

Could someone explain about the resistograph? Any disadvantages?

Why would you choose the resistograph over the PICUS?

Is the resistograph only used on the stem?

Is it beneficial to do on a horsechestnut tree when decay is normally in the branches not at the root? 

Thank you

Hi Gary 

the tree is very old so is likely to have decay but that mean they have to fell the tree of decay is found or depends on the percentage of the tree decay.

could one tree surgeon recommend a different management after a PICUS to another?

sorry for the question really want to save this beautiful tree but managing agent want to remive it due to ongoing management costs.

Hi our management agent is forcing us to have a piccus done in an horsechestnut tree with a TPO.

furstly just wondering the advantages and also more importantly the disadvantages of it.

can the recommendations vary depending who reads the scan or are the results black and white when it comes to deciding what to do next? 

Thank you

I agree with Gary. Also, I'd look to instruct a consultancy to carry out a tree safety assessment. The outcome of the tree survey will determine what should happen next.

 

Hi Gary 

Do you know how I get actree safety assessment? Will a tree consultant be able to do that?

We are in Blackheath London. It's a old horse chestnut tree. About 30 metres high. One large stem that splits into four very close to the ground. 

Will PICUS testing result in the tree being removed we do not want that.

also I am concerned about the cost of PICUS and if it would need to be done regularly for insurance reasons. 

Thank you

Hi 

I am a tree owner of a a tree with a preservation order. I have had four different pieces of advice to best manage the tree going forward by four different tree surgeons.
I have now decided to find an independent tree consultant but am a bit confused of what to do next. I have options of a ground survey pathological studies and piccus sonography.
I was wondering what the standard practice to assess trees was. 
I love the tree and want to keep it alive as long as possibly but it's very close to a neighbours property and a branch recently fell and caused damage to a shed. 
Many thanks 
Rina
