Signed up and ready to go. Looks like some great info, the last seminar I went to that Ball spoke at was excellent, he's a great speaker.

Re: Trees & Storms-Coder & Ball workshop
Excellent workshop! Coder's wind pressure calculations and crown reconfiguration findings have changed the way I think about storms and also tree risk assessment! I will never look at lightning the same way either! The lightning risk assessment worksheet itself was worth the price of admission. Ball was excellent as usual with great handouts. Both speakers had excellent input on building professionalism and passion in our industry.
Some 'buzzers that attended...

Good to hear!
Getting the message out that the place to change a tree is on the outside is so important!

Sure... Got $90?
Ha, I'll see if I can email it to you. The handout I picked up seems to be incomplete so I'll try to track down the missing pages.
"... will clarify the arbitrary and anthropogenic nature of topping..."
Good one!

[/ QUOTE ]Thanks; when they rollout effortlessly they are usually good. Going with the gut(or whatever organ), so to speak.
re lightning assessment, the conference proceedings are up on the isa website and they are FREE. Coder did not go due to fambly issues so I am very keen on seeing whether or not he acknowledges (or is even aware of) the "eddy effect"--most damage occurring above scaffold forks due to the swirling current.
It was a lighbulb moment here on the buzz when a kayaker described the similarity with a current of water swirling around a rock. Wish I knew who that was...

[/ QUOTE ]Pretty please? Some people recommend waiting until the bark sloughs off to see if it is dead. That seems a tad unreliable, perhaps irresponsible. I really want to get proactive assessment known as a service that arborists can and should be selling.

Re: Trees & Storms-Coder & Ball workshop
Ohh, there's his handout. It says little about assessment of damaged trees, little about resonance testing or bark tracing, which are 2 important steps in diagnosis and mitigation.
Lots of other good stuff though.
