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.

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.

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.
