Blair does a good job w his vids imo.
Nice job showing care of an abused tree. :thumbup: The initial pruning did not conserve health but went way back to big laterals, which steepened the decline spiral. What happened to the other walnut?
At 1:02 you speak well of the battle between decay and new growth, showing burls from callus with fresh pruning wounds from sprout removal--why were these sprouts removed?
Trenching roots was one problem hard to remedy, but soil compaction and fill on the flare (evidenced by the "telephone pole" look) can be mitigated by clearing the flare and root invigoration.
If the pull test opens that crack too much, what to do?
