Deadwood Canopy produces some benefit for the tree?
Eriknick posted a question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Hi to every one, One of my friend made an inquiry regarding the deadwood, and I'm searching for the best fit answer for their inquiry, the question is "Does removing deadwood from the canopy actually produce some net benefit for the tree?" Would anyone be able to discover the answers? -
Hi All First post so please be gentle! Has anyone out there got any experience of using Eco-Plugs for chemical felling purposes? I understand that the herbicide needs to get in to the cambium which is easily achieved when drilling into a stump as you can obviously just drill vertically down into it. However, on a live tree you cant do this, your holes will always be at an angle. This poses two questions; 1) will you achieve the right depth for the plug to be activated properly when you tap it in? 2) does the chemical come out of the sides of the plug (and therefore into the cambium you have drilled through) or the bottom (into the non-active wood). Also, with the tree still being fully "intact" will you need a ridiculous number of plugs to get any effect? (I suspect you will!) To pre-empt any questions, this is for standing deadwood creation purposes as an alternative to ring barking which has been effective but is visually not very subtle! Cheers
