To Texas

Sorry if I offended someone. Selfish of me to attack back once in a while.
I have studied TREE BIOLOGY with many good tree people from Texas. Many at
Boone NC at ASU Camp Broadstone. Some in workshops in New Hampshire.
Things could be worse. Again I am sorry.

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.

Trees are different in Texas than other parts. That is why wound
dressing is mandatory to use, tree wrap and wire in a hose are also
treatments that people like Don Staples claim is helpful. Why not just
make a news group for Texas. That way they can address their trees. Its
hard when posting about trees here because of the difference in the trees
in Texas. Also per Don Staples website in Texas, cutting the wood out of
the once fertile forest helps forest health, or so they claim? I guess
that is another Texas thing. He recommends removing all material and it
is called restoration. I do not believe it but then what do I know?
Trees are different is Texas.
http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/Services/salvage.htm This treatment
does not work in other parts yet people in Texas claims that forest
health increases with these treatments. I do not understand it. Texas
should have their own newsgroup.

I shake my head sideways, but not for the same exact reasons as Jang. She
mentions zones. In those zones are different trees. Those trees require
different, if not indifferent, treatment to wounds. Depends on the tree
and the general area (zone). Same zone, 8A, I'm not going to treat
primary branch cut wound the same way to a pecan, chinaberry, live oak, or
ashe juniper. In NE Texas, there's different trees as well. Different
strokes.

If they (TX trees and zones) don't fall into your weblink guidelines,
maybe you should develop some on your own. Instead, you want to isolate
TX tree problems for your own musings in this newsgroup. A true
"professional" at work.

Being in the U.S Navy for 20 years and working with people from all 50
states and the Phillipines, I 've found the Texas natives much higher in
the unmeasurable thing called common sense overall. I can't attest for
people with college degrees, and similar. Lot of 'em in highly populated
areas don't seem to be able to reason, just research and follow the norm.
Odd, it seems when times are hard, the more people rely on "common sense".
No matter their education level. Food for thought, John.
