| Re: Mystery of the sycamore
Eeyore - the first question that comes to mind is how far in would a secondary cambium layer be?
Not sure whether it's nice to hear that other people take delight in killing sycamore or not.
The people who ring barked the sycamore removed about a foot of the bark and cambium layer, and seem to have done it really well. The problem with felling the trees is that they are mature trees in a new woodland. Felling them would take out a bunch of the young trees. If I ring-barked lower down, and brushed herbicide on the new wound do you think that would do the trick?
It just shows how determined they are to survive. |
