Good afternoon collective,
Just looking for some opinion. We have just had a couple of consultants go
through the PTI training and assessment, fortunately for them they passed so
no P45 printing being done here!
I have had a couple of issues with the training and now received the tree
assessment results report from the assessor. The tree assessed was a lime
with Kretzschmaria deusta. In my personal view there are plenty of ways to
manage trees with this particular decay fungi and it could be target led. The
comments on the assessment is that felling is the only option, a reduction is
incorrect management, and that a priority of 12 months for the work is to
long, as the tree will have failed by then, apparently that’s a definite.
Personally I have not read the literature that states this type of management
is correct in all cases. I can only go on experience of managing trees and
particularly limes with Kretzschmaria deusta, where they have been reduced
and managed for 10 years.
When an assessors comments are “the tree will fail within a year”, this is
pretty definitive, however with limited evidence. I do wonder how that
opinion is concluded given there is no knowledge of the extent of decay, its
speed of progress etc etc.
So the question is, is it recognised that trees with Kretzschmaria deusta
must be removed very quickly or can they be managed, and actually felling is
not the only recommendation? If it is the latter answer, why are we through
the PTI training is this the recommendation.
Cheers
Pete
