<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Some of you may be aware of the esoteric practice of tree and plant appraisal. If you are, you may be aware of the recent publication of the 10<sup>th</sup> CTLA Guide for Plant Appraisal. Still fewer of you will likely
have had the chance to get the first publication before it was recalled. We now await a “corrected” version. If you did get the document, you need a corrigendum to try to use it at this time.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">If you have read the whole document and “figured it out”, kudos to you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">In the midst of this uncertainty many professionals have chosen to continue to use the tried and true methods in the 9<sup>th</sup> Edition. The most common methods have been vetted through Canadian legal tests and have
been fully accepted. Since the 10<sup>th</sup> is brand new and introduces changes to almost all former practices, introduces new ones, and even abandons some, their worthiness in a legal framework is unknown.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Dr. Julian Dunster recently wrote an excellent review of the 10<sup>th</sup> and it was published in Tree Service Canada. In this thorough and extensive review, Julian shares with the readers his poignant concerns about
many aspects of the document as well as pointing the reader to those areas that are valuable and help advance plant appraisal. His review is attached.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">If you know everything about this topic, or very little but are intrigued by where the practice of plant appraisal may be headed, this is an interesting and important read.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Thanks go to Dr. Dunster for taking the time and making the effort to be open and honest in his review.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I would welcome any and all discussion from everyone on this subject. This publication (10<sup>th</sup> Guide) could have a significant effect on Urban Forestry across Canada and it might not be positive... Is anyone
concerned? Is it time that we have a Canadian guide to plant appraisal? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
