Thermal imaging its here to stay

Well well boys & girls

Rumour control has just imparted some as yet unverified information re the use & therefore the longevity of THERMAL IMAGING in relation to Tree dynamics

rumour is that DR G Percival of Bartletts tree experts is an advocate of the technology & uses it himself

Oooh, cat amongst the pidgeons that one Iain.

You obviously have a hard nosed protagonist hiding somewhere under that cuddly northern facade of yours

Good topical question for sure.

I'm literally just into reading Marcus' two (Arb Journal) papers, which he kindly sent through this morn.

Imagine me grey matter will need re-hydrating this evening, hic

Hello Matey

hard nosed protagonist moi surely not

the concept has taken some battering from the sceptics rightly or wrongly

is in the perception of each individual , We just completed a report on 63 vet Limes

in fact the binding machine has just beep'd at me Report now cooked

"I'm literally just into reading Marcus' two (Arb Journal) papers, which he kindly sent through this morn....."

I requested but have not been so blessed! I would like to get a read of them.

Richard Branson bought a Betamax video player when they came out...

& the point of that is to show that popularity often outstips sence

the betamax was a better picture than VHS but it cost more so it didnt get the uptake & therefore ultimately lost out

Yep - sorry forgot the smilie that would have added a wry grin to the statement. Also that early adopters might well be big names who know their stuff but popularism is king.

The only thing i liked about thermal was that it could identify disfunctional sections of cambium. Other than that i wasn't sold on it.

Amazing, marcus and andrew cowan have been trying to tell you of the benifits for 6 years that I know of, now, bartletts Glyn says its cool and everyones on its virtues!

I know Andy for one has taken a lot of knocks on the chin and made a lot of personal sacrifices to bring this technology to the fore, to you guys.

If I was him or marcus, i would be pretty darn P....d off with this state of affairs, I sincerely hope this means at last those that backed it and put some hard graft into it get the payback they deserve.

I would have thought that Marcus and Andrew would be pleased that some other big names are putting their weight behind it.
