Favor thread.

[Paul B]

My turn to ask a favor of the 'housers; does anyone have a copy of the current ANSI A-300 pruning standard, in particular regarding palms? I am doing up a report and I cant find my copy ANYWHERE.

If someone has it can it be scanned and emailed my way? Just any page pertinent to general pruning and palms in particular.

thanks in advance if anyone can help me out.

Found this on the web. I don't know how complete it is...could be just a brief. There is a paragraph on palms, being directed to Southern California.

From ANSI A300-95:

I've cursed your name a few times now Paul. I've got the ansi books but I'll be damned if I can find them over the last 20min's or so.

I used to have a copy of the ANSI A300 but I have no clue where it is. If I knew, I'd mail it to you.

 

[Paul B]

haha, I found a quotable paper by Ed Gilman, it should suffice in this instance, but thank you for your efforts.

Palms ... in CANADA?

Mercy, this global warming thing is sure spreading fast.

I have mine in a folder in the bookcase if you change your mind

 

[Paul B]

yup, windmill palms abound here, personally I dont like them in most landscapes, just sticks out like a sore thumb to me in most cases.

SOTC, thanks, for now, dont worry about it.

1995 is way stale as a reference--3 editions ago! but that section has not changed much.

smart to keep the standards and bmp's in a separate folder--the most important tool i own.

Paul, ol Ed Gilman is a good resource.

All good, thanks again folks, I found my copy late last night. Tucked into another tome, the BC Landscape Standard, in the pruning section... another of my volunteer efforts, proofreading and amending for the next edition in a couple years.

V, I hear ya, he is coming to our ISA chapter AGM this year in October, I am really looking forward to it.
