Sometimes as part of my work i am required to carryout assesments and recommended actions which have been decided upon by my superiors or an independant consultant.
Luckly i've been fore warned about this one, a large Euc. which i haven't seen yet is reported to have large burls growing all around it's trunk at 1-2m from the ground. the tree is on the foot path and the resident has complained that they can't see around it when exiting their property. An independant consultant has recommend that we remove some of burls to minimize the trunk diameter and maximize the residents visabillity.
All i understand about burls is that are a freak node that the tree thinks is a branch, so they feed the node up thinking they are producing a branch?
Do they have collars? i would assume not.......i really do need to inspect a big burl to get a better understanding.
what do you all think bout this? i don't want to hack a burl off if the tree has no way to cover the wound.
thanks
