Up to now, I'd known of only one company that drills the flare for data, despite the obvious health issues from wounding and spreading decay in that critical part of the tree. But when I ordered the Root Management BMP, I saw that practice featured on the cover.
Shell wall thickness formulas have been found to be highly questionable, so this was a surprise. Does anyone know of any science, research, or documented results from practice that supports drilling the flare to get data?
