I saw no Cobra dynamic cabling, bracing, or anything supporting your butchered oak tree Guy, why is that? So Telewski's conclusion that removing dynamic support is best after two years at most, somehow translates into his agreeing with you that dynamic support for ten years using Cobra is best...

So you claim your sources that advocate dynamic cabling are being misquoted when they only recommend dynamic bracing for a limited two period, to compensate for structurally impaired roots until new growth roots form? I musta missed the part where anybody other than yourself recommends dynamic...

Got even one instance of Telewski actually doing what you theorize he has Guy? I thought not. Why whether it's artificial support's documented weakening affects on trees, or Armillaria's presence in a tree's base being adequate reason to remove it when it has targets? You oh wise one, so...

It's the product and its very purpose I object to Berm. It's peddled as an alternative to conventional static bracing because of its noninvasive terminations, its supposed ability to withstand the elements for 10 years. Conventional cabling with static lines has always acknowledged that their...

Yes, I've read quite a bit about summer limb drop being more prevalent in certain tree species. Some of the research suggesting it may be girdling insect driven. Regardless I've got no problem with a slack line with running bowlines on each end providing zero structural support, and only...

Why would such an important safety aspect of our industry not be openly debated and definitively determined one way or the other? Telewski's work speaks for my beliefs and opinions more than adequately. It's the proponents of Cobra dynamic cabling systems that I wish to engage in debate here...

I welcome anyone, arborist or PhD plant biologist to explain to me how the cobra dynamic cabling system does not weaken any un flawed healthy tree/branch it's used on, over time? It's an open invitation to debate this matter scientifically, or otherwise. Who wants to be affiliated with anyone...

Oh yeah! With no one about to testify otherwise! One such was a friend of mine in fact. Dude on the right with the beard. Jomo I shouldn't say any were lawfully determined to be suicides, I don't know. But I do know that lawyers for the WTC side of things insinuated such nonsense in their...

Shhh! It's a secret, and that safety officer's good buddies with Mark and Tom at TB,,,,,,,, Jomo

An example of tree industry corruption that sticks out like a sore thumb? The collusion between The senior safety officer for TCIA, and the whole tree chipper manufacturers of any stature to insulate themselves from lawsuits each time a solo WTC operator gets eaten alive on the job. Rather...

The committees and powers that control this industry are so far behind the curve, and so corrupt that I just do my thing and enjoy their embarrassment as they scramble to catch up. Meanwhile you guys can cable all the softwoods you want using J lag terminations, and the ANSI committees will...

The issue of J lags in softwoods is no laughing matter IMO Screws everybody over, particularly the tree and the client. Jomo

J lags? Probably the number one reason for cabling failures out there? A crime frequently committed by cablers who don't know the difference between softwoods and hardwoods? Well I guess that's somewhat understandable considering the ANSI cabling standards make no distinction between the two...

Hey Sean. Call the manufacturer of your EHS cable, and ask them if they'll stand behind their cables rated strength when used in conjunction with a Rigguy termination? Their answer might just open your eyes mate! Now unlike Rigguy terminations, which require separation of the EHS cables...

Get your Cobra snake oil here folks! ISA approved, and only 3 bills per bottle! Jomo

Still putting in all my cables in trees with perfect alignment. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oBUho2Ez29I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Which ain't easy to do without my Cabling Alignment Tubes. You'd think I'd market this stuff huh? I ain't no...

Let's apply some simple logic to just one glaring defect of the Cobra dynamic cabling system, in the real world. Girdling the branches of certain tree species with fragile bark/cambium, when anywhere near the forces the system's rated to withstand are actually applied, at the connection. Alnus...

The pertinent question when cabling/bracing must be answered first. Is there a structural defect present? If yes? Then cabling/bracing is warranted when installed to last the lifetime of the tree. No defect? No cabling/bracing. Jomo

It's a scientific fact that can't be overcome by all the fast talk in the world, that artificial support weakens a tree/limb with no structural defect over time. There's no if about it. Telewski proved it, along with myriad other horticultural PhD's, in growing houses, in controlled...

That's the gardening friend's Tipu tree. The tree now has 3 spools attached to its base, 4 lines on each spool. Each line is a watering hose with an inner stainless steel cable that actually supports the weight of the hanging pot/plants, while the hose is set to an automatic timer to water each...
