He didn't say that. He said that turf was bad for black walnut and
gypsy moth was just an annoyance. However, fall webworm is not gypsy
moth.

You must have missed the past few years of the yard boy recommending
mulching for every possible condition or conditions of trees.

Correct mulching is a natural requirement of trees of a forest. Do you have
any understanding of tree biology? I think not.
Don Staples has no clue as to the importance of correct mulching for the
health of trees and their associates.

Most tree problems are trouble in the rhizosphere.

Don Staples claims that removing all wood from a site is restoration.
http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/Services/salvage.htm

Mulch comes in different gradations from fine organic material to large tree
trunks with soil contact. Nurse logs provide water during drought. When
trees do not have water during drought their energy reserves is reduced.
Trees with energy reserves reduced are more likely to suffer from gypsy
moths. Just one of many benefits of mulch.

Enjoy the storm Don Staples.

Other than gypsy moths and mulch comes the benefits of wood for forest
health. here is an example of what your restoration work really is:

Ok, then, Don Staples. Please provide data specific to Texas that states
that your salvage and restoration work increases the health of a forest
rather
than what I state, which that is that your practice is deforestation.
Please
provide the page and paragraph number where your data can be found stating
that you increase forest health by your salvage and restoration work. You
claim I am a fraud while all along you promote deforestation. You claim to
be a consulting forester. Please consult and provide the data for your
practice.

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.
