Burnham
Woods walker
It came to my mind to toss this out there, from my safe rocker on the front porch
.
Over the many years I climbed, and instructed climbers, it was a normal part of the hazard analysis to consider droughty weather as a factor that can/will increase the likelihood of limb and even stem breakout, in many species of trees.
So a word of warning from this old climber...this year in many parts of the US, it could be a real factor to pay attention to.
Take care, my friends.
