Webster really did not understand tree biology. Webster as far as I now
never published papers on tree biology.
Defining terms related to tree biology is better left to people that
understand trees. Obviously you and Webster claim to be tree experts but do
not understand tree biology.

Again I would like to see a picture of a tree healing. Or as far as that
goes a root flare, a feeder root feeding and the list goes on. Trees seal
but do not heal. Webster would be better explaining that to you.

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.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

- Oh really? Trees heal wounds? Please explain. Trees compartmentalize
wounds and they do not heal. You blew it right there. Heal is an animal
term replacing cells in old positions with new cells. Trees do not do
that.
They compartmentalize wounds. So much for the wound dressing paint and
the
paint roller. Show me a picture of the tree healing a wound. Never
heard
of or seen one. Better sell it on Ebay.



Heal
1 a: to make sound or whole heal a wound b: to restore to health

Semantics
the language used (as in advertising or political propaganda) to
achieve a desired effect on an audience especially through the use of
words with novel or dual meanings.

And thanks for the link to BUY information. I'll get right on that...

Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding. How much did you pay for the book that claims
trees heal wounds?
