Re: tree inspections - What does the customer get

Do you get the osscillating test Guy? I don't. I don't know what it shows, how it is quantifiable, its repeatability etc. We have had a limited discussion of this imitation tree pulling test (imitation of the Elato-inclino test) but I have never figured it out. The inventors have never described in the literature (beyond a short article in Tree Service Canada magazine) and Arborist Training Solutions (I believe that is the name) has never responded on this board to questions I have raised about the methodology they are taching as part of an intergrated risk assessment course.
