    Lightning protection in cabled and braced trees

    Metal was probably strike point , what causation ? , probably shouldn't blame it .. height, proximity to other trees , and wood moisture content factors as well.

    Woodpecker Damage on Silver Maple...Should We Remove

    Sometimes a trim buys a little time before eventual removal , when I was a rook I always thought it chupid until seeing it's a big part of the Arbor Gig (it is a removal job just in increments). Done it my place many times.
