What about the decay in the future? As a past ISA Certified Arborist in Minnesota, bolting was discussed and cautioned against. As time passes, the bolt inside the tree is sitting in a pocket of decay, with minimal holding power. All I can say is liability.
We typically use this a a last resort for people not quite ready to get rid of a tree for whatever reason. In my professional opinion I’ve seen trees compartmentalize completely over rods and cables for that matter. This is why it’s important to ask your arborist like he said if your tree is a good candidate for this. Certain species will benefit for than others from this certainly.
is it necessary to recess the washers?
Depends on the type of bark the tree has. Thin bark? No. Thick bark? Yea
Also where did you buy the galvanised rod
Whare did you by the long drill bits
If you could just cut out the annoying background sound track, the guy has a GREAT VOICE, but jingle is intrusive. thanks
