The tree was about 20" dbh and about 50' tall. We had 4 people on site. The total job took about 1.5 hours.

Again, very nicely done.

1.5 hours? that is efficient!

Good pic of the stem failure (which are rare) due to brown cubicle butt rot, a nasty term if there ever was one. Were there any outer signs?

The description was really hard to follow; it was like a half-page caption. Yes I agree that it should have been a short feature with more pics (Paint-ed?). TCIA would likely print more if it's laid out right.
Thanks for sharing it with TCIA and good on them to print it. Let's see more from the field from the rest of you--joe from O?! If you have an interesting story to tell and need a ghostwriter let me know; I'm cheap.

Keep it up, Brian and Company!

Guy,

There did not appear to be any external signs of decay.

As far as the description of the photo I did not know that they were going to be printing my description. I was communicating with someone at TCIA through e-mail and they published one of my e-mails.

Ha! yes the editors can be sneaky that way, especially if it's near deadline. Better that than nothing else, though!
