    Personally I feel professor Sillett should challenge himself to learn a little from the arborist first. After all, it's not like our profession started yesterday.

    Making such a statement is analogous to, "A butterfly beating its wings in the Amazon rain forest is going to start a hurricane in the Caribbean." Some people believe actually believe it.

    Professor Sillet should read some ISA pubs first, or at least ask a few aborists for their insights before doing such a deed. But even at that the evidence of the outcome from topping trees is everywhere, if you just look. His ambition to top trees just to observe what happens, is right in...

    Yeah, that's what I understand, Willie. Terri and I went to Oregon Redwoods up on the Winchuck River. A small grove on Peavine Ridge at 1400 feet elevation. Supposedly pushed down by the glaciers some time ago. But making a comeback.

    Meristem culture cloning was well underway in my propagation class's in the 70's. There's certainly a lot of good that can be said about it, but it has its issues too.

    What that fellow said is misleading. The most superlative gene stock in the forests does not come only from the largest trees that are in it. Most of those trees he's referring to were just lucky enough to be in a perfect niche and survive the elements to reach the size they attain. Many...
