It is the technique of pruning the stem, branch or major limb right back to its base. Whether this means cutting it back against the tree trunk or its parent limb, the technique prevents the tree’s natural healing mechanism from sealing the wound. Fu, so you mean the knowledge from the quotes from that service is not very accurate? Maybe you need to add a bit more notes to the quotes or people will think they are gold and rushed to copy Fu's quotes without referring the first message you wrote. I was a little shocked to see a Horticulturally themed article of this standard. I do read a few and think, oh dear... This guy is so on the money it isn't funny. [quote="Fu Manchu"]His knowledge only reflects the small amount of training I've had from one of this states best. So I'll post the links and then I'll post them as quotes and add a few other links.

He is respected in arborist circles. To be an arborist is a serious amount of study on top of base studies like Horticulture. Arborists are just discovering what trees do and how they grow. It might seem pretty simple but it isn't. I have done some short courses in Aboriculture and they are exciting and have opened my eyes to some detail of how trees behave. We get so much wrong. Tree loppers and unskilled gardeners do a heap of damage to trees. They get a bad name. When a home is damaged there will be a trail of obvious and manageable signs that someone with the right training would spot straightaway years before it happens.

Not sure about all the questions and feedback?? Re: Trees and the people that care for them 13Jun 10, 2011 9:32 pm Fu, I read from the first few lines of your first post: [quote="Fu Manchu"]I just happened to see the list of articles on the side of the forum tonight. I was a little shocked to see a Horticulturally themed article of this standard. I do read a few and think, oh dear... This guy is so on the money it isn't funny. So I think you're referring horizon tree service articles as the shocking ones, something below standard. If I have misinterpret your meaning and make it the other way round, please accept my apology . Please delete my post about that comment so as not to confuse others, if necessary. Thanks a lot.

I often see marketing disguised as articles in magazines, the weekend paper on websites and yes this one too. I might have to clarify what I meant. It **** me reading half the stuff you guys watch on Telly and read thinking it's good advice or info when they are paid or at least commercialy influenced ads. These guys are good. They are well respected and the thing I love more thananything else is they truly care and are passionate. That is rare. A survey must’ve completed by a certified surveyor.
