I do not make decisions on what people get published in journals such as
phytopathology or whatever. You would have to contact the journal and ask
the journal what it will publish. Ask the US Forest Service what they will
publish.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

I try to make decisions based on data. I don't like ivy in trees because
it covers signs of high risks of hazard such as cracks. I don't like ivy
on trees. But I have not read data that stated ivy kills trees.


What if the data came from homeowners who observed ivy killing trees?
Would that be valid, or would it depend on who collected the data?
