Hi all.
I have had the opportunity to work on a couple of large oaks here along Green Lake, and while they are not in the Wye oak category, yet, i would like to think that with some proper attention, they too could double their age of which has to be over 200 years.
I would like to get some information from someone who knows about the tree, and cabling of lateral branches. I removed two dead limbs from the one oak, and one lateral (roughly14 to 16 inches in diameter) is a bit hollow, yet very succulent and alive to the tips. The trunk is solid (35" dbh), and so is the upper canopy. I'd like not to lose this limb, as the canopy is fairly even at the time.
I did search on the wye oak, and have read wuite a bit on the history, but need to go to the next step. These people have quite a bit of change, and would be willing to go to many ends to preserve the trees.
Thank you.
