If anyone would like to learn how to use the SHIGOMETER contact me. The
reason most people put down the machine is because all the machine gives you
is numbers. You must understand the tree w/anatomy to understand what the
numbers mean. I would be happy to help.

It's really not that hard. You just have to understand anatomy, protection
wood, must know where the cambial zone is. many people think the cambial
zone produces wood. It don't! I will help. Come see me and touch trees
together. On the inside.

Again advanced tree biology is things like mountain laurel CER.

Other than that I am working on a picture story of problems like trees
planted to deep and mulch on the trunk. Just took a closer look today and I
am writing a picture website of what I found.

Coming soon. You will never let this treatment of deep planting and
improper mulching go on when you see this. I did what no one else wants to
do. I'm not afraid.

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.

Does anyone have any experience with the SHIGOMETER? With respect to CER.
If so, what are your thoughts on the CER mean for Mountain Laurel? Did
you notice something different about mountain laurel?

I have used SHIGOMETRY to detect woody root declines in trees.

I would really like to discuss Mountain Laurel CER
