Photos and comments are about tree care and pruning. Pics show various problems and solutions, including topping damage, sunburn and other structural aspects woth knowing about.
Copyright 2005-2011 or as noted by M. D. Vaden. Images divided into several albums.
Foliage damaged by hotter than usual sun early in late Spring. On the west side.
Wood dust, holes. Borers killed this Port Orford Cedar. 1st time I saw this on this species.
Interesting natural graft on Willow. I just left it. Interesting. Called Inosculation.
Pruning cut closer 14 months after the cut. Marked to keep track of future photos.
One guess is embedded fire damage. A better guess is old spur spike climbing wounds.
It's better to anchor into a stem than to wrap wire or chain all the way around it.
