Dave I agree that callus turns into woundwood as it differentiates and lignifies (sorry but there are no $.49 synonyms), but since this is a gradual transition they are not separate, but blended, entities. I don't follow your veer from pheromones to rams horns--it reads like grasping for theories instead of looking at evidence. If there is useful info from The OSU that would be good to see.
Sorry about the "evapotranspirational dessication"--that was the rum talking. "Drying out" would have been better. I'll avoid that stuff if you stop nitpicking about the usage of "codit".
I'm still waiting for your hard evidence, or a sign that you are gathering data today and not just trying to apply someone else's 20-year old observations to every tree problem. Shigo's Pithy Point #1: "The more you learn about what you are seeking, the better the chances are that you will find it."
Dave, you said you had pics of that bur oak...love to see them!
