How rotten was the bottom one? Big crossing limbs are tough to manage. If you cut one, the other has lost support and will probably need reduction so it does not fail later.Originally posted by Lumberjack
there were 2 large leaders that were crossed and the bottom one was rotten, so it got chopped.

If there is not extensive rot, I tend to reduce the ends to lessen the wounding the limbs do to each other and leave them both in the tree. If they've adapted to each other for a long time, it may be a more stable arrangement to leave them both than to remove one.
Sounds like a good job of looking at the whole picture and considering options before cutting.Originally posted by Lumberjack
I check the support by first lookin at where they were touching, and then shifting my weight from the bottom one to the top one. On the other side of the tree,it supported the top branch a good little bit (was reduced) but I think that it was better for it to go than to stay.

1. Inspect base for rot and disease; treat.
4. Come back in August to measure twig and callus growth. Sell annual PHC visit to measure the growth of decay and recovery and continue to fight for its life. That oughta do er.
ISA does more training for diagnosis and PHC; ASCA academy barely touches on those. Comb the archives of Arborist News for articles on diagnosis; they are there free and easily searchable. Get a good manual like Sinclair's Disease book, a hand lens, and bring an inquiring mind to every tree you see. It'll come.Originally posted by ORclimber
Where would an aspiring arborist learn how to do that? Is that an RCA school thing?
