There are also other nails in the tree. I am looking for an opinion on what is the best course of action. I am thinking that part of the basket that has not grown into the tree should be removed, but any parts where the tree has started to grow around should stay. In other words, if removal exposes the cambium layer, it should stay. Any thoughts on this?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On another topic, I am looking for good references that look at the structure of tree roots growing on steep slopes. i.e. how do they grow differently than trees on flatter ground? I would like to apply this information to help me predict the impact of trees on slopes that will be exposed to major construction. The most important factor that I am interested in is stability.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for your help,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Astrid<br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class="">__________________________________________</span><br style="font-size:small" class=""><span style="font-size:small" class=""><b class="">Astrid Nielsen</b></span></font></div><div dir="ltr" class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class=""><font size="2" class="">MFC, RPF, ISA Certified</font><span style="font-size:small" class=""> Arborist®</span></font></div><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class=""><a href="mailto:astrid.nielsen@dendronforestry.ca" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank" class="">astrid.nielsen@dendronforestry.ca</a><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><div class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class="">+1.613.805.WOOD (9663)</font></div></div><div class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="verdana, sans-serif" class=""><a href="http://www.dendronforestry.ca/" target="_blank" class="">www.dendronforestry.ca</a></font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
