Removal of Decayed Matter Important to Prolong Life. In considering the subject of tree surgery it 1s important first {0 become familiar in a general way with the parts of a tree which are directly in- volved, their structure and how they are affected by the surgical methods employed. Nearly every tree shows work for-the skilled “tree doctor,” es- peclally the soft wood trees, where branches are lashed from'the trunks and main limbs and crotches are split incessantly, leaving a rough, splintery surface, where decay soon starts its deadly work. Then, too, many crevices on soft wood trees are caused by severe strains during wind and ice storms. In many cases these are hidden by the rugged bark and unnoticed by the aver- age man, Most cavities and crevices soon form | pockets, in which water and foreign matter collect during the winter months. With continual freezing a8d thrawing, the cavitles expsndmg and contracting, each time the water works lower, and finally a large opening re- sults. The treatment of cavities can be re- garded as comprising four essential operations—removing all decayed and A TREE WITH WOUNDS DRESSED. diseased matter, re-enforcing the cav- ity with bolts or supporting the branch by placing ore or more chains to an ad- Joining braneh, sterilizing and water- proofing all cut surfaces and filling the cavity in a manner that will favor rap- id healing and exclude rot producing organisms, -: Usually an’ old decayed spot may be partially covered by a new growth of wood and bark at the edges and the visible, decayed area be small, as com- pared with that which is hidden. In such cases it is-usually necessary to enlarge the opening in order to make sufficient room to thoroughly clean the interior. . This opening should not be any wider than is necessary, but it may be sufficiently long to reach all the decayed and diseaséd heartwood, with little or no additional injury to the tree. ¥ After the decayed and diseased mat- ter has been ‘completely excavated the next step is to sterilize the interior of the cavity in order-that all germs of disease or decay which are present may be killed. Then follows a coat of tree wound paint or any preparation manufactured by a reliable company for this particular work. In filling cavities the materials must be of the best. A good grade of port- land cement and sharp sand should be used. Even:the best cement filling will crack unless some provision is made to protect it from shock. Here expert knowledge is. required, for the tar. paper padding, which is ideal un- der some conditions, becomes insuffi- cient and must be augmented with lay- ers.of rubber where the sway is great- er and the shock on the filling would therefore be more intense. Re-enforcing, like filling cavities, varies with existing conditions. One difficulty in this field is the fact that the average property owner, when re- enforcing is mentioned to him, remem- bers only those examples where the work done is; quite obvious. He ob- jects to the appearance of .chains from one branch to another, forgetting the fact that the very re-enforcing to which he objects has probably pre- vented the entire loss of a valuable tree. It is true that, unless it is quite ex- pertly done, re-enforcing a tree in its last stages is likely to mar the appear- ance of the tree, even though it does save it. One way—in fact, the best way—te avoid this condition is to have the cavities treated early, when the re-enforcing can probably be done en- tirely by means of a system of conceal- ed bolts.
