Last Saturday, May 6, Heritage Tree Care Inc. enjoyed attending this excellent workshop organized by ArborCanada.
Thank you, Frank Rinn for discussing tree biology and biomechanics and how breaking forces act on trees in various states of decay. Also, thank you for demonstrating the most advanced technology and basic methods available for decay assessment.
The main contents of the workshop included the following:
Wood anatomy and tree-biomechanics.
Why VTA rules are not appropriate/applicable.
Why SIA is fundamentally wrong.
Allometric Self-Referencing and ArboStApp™.
Diagnostic techniques: sounding (stem & roots), drilling, pulling tests, GPR, . . .
Practical applicable to mature trees.
Wind load, pruning, crown cabling.
Efficient and legally compliant reporting.
