Dear Lee,
It has been almost a year since you treated our oaks. I thought you might be interested in what has transpired in that year. As you will recall I was skeptical of your assessment and treatment methods, but since we were losing our oaks by the score to P. ramorum we had to do something. In short, the improvement with treatment has been remarkable! Every tree has responded with new growth. Instead of the painful sight of our trees slowly dying, we now see new life in the form of phenomenal leaf growth. One tree is particularly noteworthy. This mature tanoak has been “dead” for years. There was not one leaf on this tree. Even though it was dead, we treated this tree just to explore the limits of your treatment program. To our surprise there is astonishing new growth. We are now asking ourselves, are there any limits? We can’t thank you enough.
Sincerely,
Ken Palmer
