Our piece of heavenOur piece of land, a expensive piece of heaven in any Thai's eyes I would think but we had looked around at a lot and decided that this was situated in the right place, i.e. on the main road in and out of the village and almost opposite the monastery. If all else fails I will not have far to go should I decide to become a monk.paulm

03 - Poinsettia old woundOne of the numerous old wounds on the poinsettias.
Should have been properly treated when fresh. Hole open on wood inside tree and vertical opening ideal for rain to get in, accompanied by insects + mushrooms...SunTzu

04 - Poinsettia old woundOne of the numerous old wounds on the poinsettias.
Should have been properly treated when fresh. The branch has been broken/cut twice ; hole open on wood inside tree ; not looking good for aesthetics.
As we are almost above wall separating with road, I suspect ko-to-mo teams treatment.SunTzu

05 - damaged woodBranch seemed clean and healthy, but decay + boring insects were quite advanced.
Pls, note that the cut was not perfectly clean here, but that branch was cut further, with a neat cut ^^SunTzu

06 - Mushrooms on branch - very bad signSeeing this was really worrying me beforehand for the guys who would climb up in the tree.
Injured trees very often have mushrooms infections, but when it comes to the point where you can actually see the mushrooms, it means that the wood has been extensively damaged already, and that the branch/trunk may break if you climb on it.
Fortunately that tree wasn't too high !SunTzu

07 - Mushroom damageThe wood is very light and you can crush it effortlessly between your fingers...
Not good !SunTzu

08 - Mushroom tree VS trafficAll the branches had to go down 1 by 1, with a rope.
Had to be careful of the traffic. Some Bast**d almost run me over.
That tree was sprayed with fungicide.SunTzu

09 - The state of the art neat cutP Ton demonstrates how to do a good job ^^SunTzu

10 - looks like finished treatmentBoth cuts look like finished treatment, look good with ruber paste ... but on the right, the cut direction was not optimal, meaning that the tree could not cover the cut directly. The tree then has to 'sacrifice' the branch remnant first (dead branch), wait for it to fall off, then try to cover the hole.
Exact opposite of tree doctoring. Had to ask the guys to climb again...
The one on the left is perfect.SunTzu
