Okay, you have finally made my looney bin. I truly think you may have mental illness so I will not engage any more with you. I feel compassion and hope you can find some peace in life.

In addition to being mentally challenged, you also know nothing of current information regarding the practices of organic gardening or farming. Yeah, yeah, blablablablablabalbla trees are autotrophs, blablablablablablablabla...don't feed trees....ad nauseum. A gallon of liquid seaweed around these parts is under 20 dollars and you use a tablespoon in a gallon of water. Yeah, I'm some product pusher...at least I don't try to push a book or this new so called DVD thing.

The way you made me take photos of my cuts which you not only ignored, but you didn't honor your word which was that you'd put them on the front page of your website. Oh, I forgot, you told me you lost them. Wassa matta, I made proper cuts and you couldn't stand it?

Why not? Because I know peach leaf curl when I see it. But that's me, I cannot say if the OP can but he asked how to treat it.
I think sometimes you are really trying to help. But when you go on with your pet subjects to the exclsion of all else you are just trying. To a kid with a hammer everything is a nail.

I told you I would like to see some dissections that the cuts were hard for me to see without dissections. Did you see the squirrel section I did added?

By seeing the pictures I could tell you alot about the vitality of the tree and the cause of the problems. I do not like to make any recommendations regarding prescribing questionable chemicals unless I have at least see a tree in person of some pictures. Would not be very professional. Would a doctor prescribe a questionable prescription for a patient without ever seeing the patient? The tree care industry has a long way to go.
A good site for links on what may be a questionable pesticide can be found here: See Pesticide Issues

the branch collar? That's what we discussed. We didn't talk about your ad nauseum term "dissection."

that after my yelling about it for years, most people here seem to be like minded and know that tree vigor is the major cause of decline. I gave recommendations based on years of experience with plants, woody, herbaceous, deciduous and evergreen. Since most problems are caused by tree decline as a result of improper cultivation, the OP was given sound suggestions. And no, I did't and won't go to your website.

Huh...do I have pics somewhere that make that obvious? How di dyou figure that one out?
I haven't been to SLC in decades. I do, however, drive by the Portland Oregon temple several times a week. They must have some fairly skilled ground keepers - I never thought of talking to them.

When someone new comes on sometimes I Google them. You have a page somewhere. In 1991 at SLC, they recorded (video) the tree biology workshop. If you were to get hold of Alex Morris or somebody must have a copy. I recorded it as with all of the tree biology events I participated in on micro cassettes. I have some collection of tapes.

Ok, I told you if you provided me with some pictures of target pruning with a good response from the tree I would put one on the front page of website. Probably my pruning section. You sent me some pictures of some large cuts with woundwood that was in the form of a doughnut. Due to my inexperience I was unable to fully understand that cut. Therefore, without a dissection it would be hard for me to say. Not to say you did something wrong, but I could not place it on the front page and describe it because I was not sure. Now, I was not sure of a cut I made on a peach tree so I dissected it. See:

was a proper cut but you can see the symplastless column that formed below the wound. The column is the size of the tree when it was pruned. The point of this picture is to show that with peach trees, even proper targets can lead to symplastless columns. When space is reduced for storage of starch with proper cuts, guess how bad improper cuts are for the trees capacity to store energy? Well that's why I asked Zootal for some pictures of his pruning cuts and soil management, trunk flare area and such to diagnose what the primary cause of the trees problem is. When energy reserves are reduced, secondary agents move in. Then often people use questionable chemicals to get rid of the secondary agents. In advanced tree biology the secondaries are referred to as the 'Clean-Up Crew".
Back to your pictures. It was not clear to me by your pictures, as to how much of a direct hit the pruning cut was. If you can provide me with something I can better understand I would be glad to use it. Why don't you come visit me and dig mycorrhizae. I have microscopes, digging tools, scanner, trees with mycorrhizae. All I require is people like you to dig and identify mycorrhizae. Just an invitation. Please, place some of your pictures of this and that on a website and I will go through and find something I can use. Again, I cannot say I am sorry enough for not understanding the pictures you sent me.
As far as questionable chemicals, this thread started with (copper based fungicide, and a sulfur based fungicide) many comments were made about the chemicals and they were endorsed by people in this tread without even seeing the patient. I asked for some pictures of soil and pruning cuts and no one was interested. Everybody was pushing for using questionable chemicals without diagnosis. If you disagree please provide the specific active and inert ingredients you were recommending.

Imaginary illness? What are you talking about, oh "Fragile" Warrior. I guess you're too fragile to see your reflection.
