Saw downs, blow downs & wind shakes
Some of the local healthy Norfolk Island Pines blown down by last year's hurricanes had some internal cracks (wind shakes?), but IMHO not much different from felled healthy trees. I wonder if other timbers along the gulf coast or elsewhere exhibit a marked difference whether sawn down or blown down. Would someone please discuss or give a reference to what happens inside a falling healthy tree in general and in particular species. Also the effects of total time spent shaking before falling and how the tree fell. I assume that trunk weight and root size are factors. TIA Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |
