Well, of course. I was assuming that the stock were not overcrowded

Please read what I posted originally. I don't know how you think
smooth young bark can appear at ground level on older trees,

I don't, and haven't said that.

Perhaps if YOU paid more attention to what you posted, you wouldn't

I have to say that this Newsgroup is one of the few left that doesn't
feature sniping and flaming. Could we possibly keep it that way, please?


Can we bottom post as per newsgroup convention?

I feel it's unfortunate you felt obliged to reply to Janet. She have her
experience and backed it up with a link to a respected website.

While there seems a difference of opinion, where one party ups the anti
with no link to backup their stance they would normally be called a troll.

This is my first and last post in this thread.
