Hollow Silver Maple saved! Reduced and Ring Bark

[treevet]

For a non scientist (I feel comfortable assuming this for lack of requested scientific data provided) to be at odds with the Father of Modern Arboriculture and former Chief Scientist of The US Forest Service on such subjects is likely a no win situation. I spent many many hours with him over the years, he would have loved to have a discourse with you.

Your non confrontational attitude is refreshing though and I will learn something from that.

PS...There is a guy that calls himself "Aerialist" on ASite that claims to have invented the "Treepedo". Not saying you are wrong but saying he is consistently full of #2. Just thought you may want to look into that.

No damage from some serious high winds and the recent
ice storm.

Ok just had to redo the movie because it seems I forgot to save it as a Movie and then files got moved booo any ways took a bit of time but should be up on Youtube in 1/2hr or so but where she lands no one knows?

Seems appropriate to bring this back up to show that hollowed trees are pretty darn neat.

For now take a Neature Walk

That is one ugly tree! Nice job on the reduction and the concept of silhouette pruning. Thumbs up.
