You may want to read the post on shaving roots to understand why I posted this one.
Second, some of you realize that our goal is to apply as much skill and learning as possible.
About 10 years ago, I pruned for a little old lady that had me prune her way. Even after explanation, she did not change. But after 4 years, she finally let me do her pruning the right way. Part of her change was due to what she kept learning, and part due a couple of plants and trees where I had free reign.
For certain, I could have walked away. If she got someone that knew next to nothing, her trees would have been worse off.
Our company has learned that we can progress the technology of arboriculture and horticulture, deeper into culture if we are willing to take a certain volume of butchery work.
One, the butchery will less damaging in many cases by the expert. Next, some people yield to having the pruning done right.
We have more people yield to correct pruning, than make request to go to the wrong.
At times, we have been hired next door to the "butchery" yard. When the first person we worked for sees the neighbors, often they change.
As for cutting roots - ts going to be done in a lot of cases. And the homeowner will be better off to have an expert involved. If they want their retaining wall, or pond in a spot, I say great, them have free-will choice to enjoy life. At least the expert will usually make a better choice of how to cut that the very-non-expert tree person.
If experts back out of the world of butchery altogether, then the non-experts will be the ones doing their advertising and culture infiltration.
We noticed that if experts get involved in the non-elite work, they get to wedge in their advertising, education and cultural infiltration.
That's one of the reason the "hacks" still do so well. They are not so darn picky. They get involved.
Sometimes people can learn from their adversaries and opponents. Then just do it better.
