Maybe we're getting too precious about our hard won knowledge. However
imperfect the basic formula is it acts like a planning policy - its
there for everyone to see and everyone to work to. If you move too far
into the realm of specialist interpretation (and 'common sense') its
like the old days of no planning policies and everything judged on its
own merit, with all the pitfalls that that entailed.

<<As none of these methods can be considered accurate as to where roots
are actually growing then using the drip line could be considered to be
reasonable. In many cases the calculation is similar. The calculation
can also vary depending on how accurate you measure the diameter at
breast height or ground level as trunks can be very variable in shape.
It has to be down to common sense. >>
Couldn't agree more
