Watch out for so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, tornado's, volcanic eruptions and other
abiotic forces keep reminding humans that they are not the boss.

Ah, the yard boy is back from his cure.

Anybody claiming to be a forester should be responsible for defining just
what they mean when they say forest.

I actually have over 900 terms that you should be required to define if you
call yourself a forester.

Why not start with how you define a forest.

Then define what you mean when you say that you are a forester. What do you
mean when you say forester.

I went to your website and found the link to be dead.

I am just asking you to define two.

Don Staples - Consulting Salvage Hog
http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/Services/salvage.htm

In reality Don Staples claims to be a "consulting forester" while he refuses
to define specifically what that is at his website at:
http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/forestry/staples.htm

PLEASE DEFINE WHAT YOU ARE. "CONSULTING FORESTER" YOUR LINK IS DEAD.
@ http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/forestry/staples.htm


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, 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 claiming sound
treatment for landowners investment. You claim to be a consulting forester.
Please consult and provide the data for your practice.


"All of the above are relatively simple, low-cost maintenance and management
procedures that will protect your investment, preserve your land, and
provide peace of mind."
A quote from Staples Forestry.

Then he claims this as preservation:
http://www.livingston.net/dstaples/Services/salvage.htm
Nothing but deforestation.

Brings up something I've been looking into. Living in zone 8A. This spring
had decent rain followed by practically none. Extreme drought.

Live oaks rhizomes are producing large amounts of shoots with leaves
evidenced throughout the area. Found one paper (1987, Texas) that indicated
how to take shoots from live oaks and place in planters for planting a year
or 2 later to their permanent site. They discovered over the 10 year
observation that acorn originated tree produced shoots from roots
(rhizomes), the shoot from rhizome originated trees had no evidence of this,
both planted at same site. Thought that was interesting.

Anyway, I looked into origins of oak wilt. The predominant theory is that
its fungus in nature attacking exposed roots. Oak wilt seems to be
contagious in some manner spreading from tree to tree. The rhizosphere
weblink you provided seems to indicate that fungus is natural in the war
between roots and microorganisims. At this point, I'm concerned about
taking shoots from live oak roots and possibly creating an enviroment for
oak wilt. Should I pursue this further, or drop the idea entirely?

I'd check with your local state agriculture folks. That said just
think of how us gardeners have been spreading all sorts of life about.
I've got plants from just about every part of the USA. Think most of
my slug problem was brought in along with a potted scrub or plant. The
hope is strong plants can fend of the intruders interlopers. Kudzu ?
The whole notion of introduced species is out of control. I read all
native plants in Florida are gone. Our Oaks are undergoing a rust.
The time frame for this is too long for us to discern emerging loss.

Well the product that has 1 % active ingredient has knocked them back.
Happy news.

Bad News .

The order for Iron Phosphate for $77.55 is still in limbo. Fired off a
E mail with no response but they did manage to charge me. (


Sent another request just now.

Seems I must have done some bad things in a previous life. Iron
Phosphate possible retribution. )

Everything I've read including the aggie site in Texas about oak wilt
origination and proliferation seems shady and doubtful at best. They
managed to contain an outbreak in Austin a few months ago with state and
local aggie reps helping, but they aren't sure about the mechanics behind
it. Still a guessing game so far. That's why I'm hesistant on a decision.
