Subject: RE: BS5837-2012 - Combined Stem Diameter

Hi Tim,
        I have continued to measure all the stems on a MS tree, added 
x-sectional areas, and derived a figure from a notional stem of the same 
cross-sectional area, in view of the gremlins in the new proposals.
I'll await a correction form BS on their expensive new edition..............
Have a good weekend
Rupert

TM - that would work Rupert - in other words just use the first calculation. 
Gets a bit tricky when there are 30 or 50 stems but in that situation they 
are often of similar size and the second calculation works better then.
Have a good one yourself. Tim
