No dimwit, it's the insect vector and the fungal mat. It effects

None, but I predict that within one week he will be an "expert" on oak wilt.

Flush cuts drain energy from the tree placing it in a predisposition for oak
wilt. Everybody in the tree world is well aware of that.
I guess except you. Flush cuts remove the branch protection zone that
resist the spread of microorganisms into the tree. Again it seems like
Texas trees are different and that does not apply. Or so you would like
people to believe. I would not expect you to understand my fine critic.

When was the last time you dissected a tree with oak wilt? Got some
pictures of the dissections?

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.

There has been some work done in GA (I think) trenching between infected
and uninfected trees as a means of preventing root grafts. They've got
some sort of vibrating plow thing that does relatively little damage.



These trees are likely inaccessible by anything as the area is undeveloped
and very hilly, not to mention the cost as there are so many in my woods.
There is no way I could afford it on the scale necessary to get to all the
trees.

BTW these trees have never once been trimmed except by Mother Nature. They
are terribly crowded, but again not by human hands as this area has never
been touched. Some thinning would be a good thing, but I do hate that it
is the oaks I am losing and not the hickories.
But they burn really well

When you say thinning are you talking about logging?

Ok Don example of a forester. Show us the pictures of your dissections of
trees with oak wilt.

While your at it

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.

I shook my head sideways, but not identical reasons, Chang. She referred to the area. In these regions are different trees. Trees require different, if not indifference, treatment of wounds. Depends on the tree and the general area (belt). Within the same region, 8A article, I do not intend to stab wounds in the treatment of primary branches of the same way to the pecan, neem tree, oak, or Ashe juniper. In northeast Texas, there are different trees as well.
