Proper Wounding

[TheTreeSpyder]

When trimming the growth pattern should be followed, least dfamage done, most poswitive processes maintained without flipping any high survival switches that may cause unnecessary over compensation and system distraction from strength to survival from the shocks of cutting techniques.

Cutting at 'tre-determined' joints and preseving their branch collar swells to close the wounding off cleanly is imperative.

Thi biggest thing then is not wounding the parent; but leaving a stob can work the system harder than it needs to 2 ways. By taking more expen$ive closing material$ and time; also by possibly letting the decay from the stob travel to the parent, through the port that the stob itself maintains opened.

Pictures i've taken around town, closing, not closing well attributed to following previous mecanichs of cuts/stobs.

No torn would heals well, so the cuts must be to target and sharp, clean. A spike hole (from "tree climber's spike's")is a tattered wound of ripped fiber piercing into the outer lifeline layres of water and nutrient moving vessels close to the surface of the bark.

Here, someone has made a real well sealing cut the size of a grapfruit (Florida Terms), and it seals faster/better than the small climbing spike hole/rip! Of which there may be 100's in the tree! The man that serviced the tree was right there saying how he was the last one in that tree, wears spikes, and took out that branch. i think the eye can see proof enough to witness taht he spike wound carries more scarring and thus other negative processes that indicates, unnecessaarily.

Again, your drwaings are worth the download! I need to get you to draw somw for my PowerPoints.

Thanx Mark; i'd be happy to help.

i've been playing with my Free PixoLogic ZBrush DownLoad for about a year now on and off; as it mostly kicked my lil'butt! But got about 8% of it now...... Still, i know i am going feel stoopid in 6 mos. somehow for the long route thru 4 different pieces of soft-head-ware to put one of these together.

i could use some feed-me-back on which files load tooo sloooow(large size); which are good medium as i venture. i hope these things are a starting point, not finishing.

Part of the reason for this is to exercise taking this mind's eye around and then where a magnified lens usually only goes, so de-scribing seen and otherwise already pictured stuff 'ere is jest easing the slippers off... i guess some of the drawings could be lent elsewhere, to help the less 'geekier' sight by one acclimation. Help'em out sum; ya know....

Here is a microscope journey of sorts to get to the root of the matter of what i mean, i mean... ~250k, 12 slides resized
