AYING AND FEEDING

weak branches is also essential to a tree’s well-being 
and unless one knows just how to do this, it is best to 
call on a tree expert who can do the work without injury 
to the tree. If, unfortunately, decay forms in the trunk 
of a tree or anywhere else, it is imperative to seek the 
assistance of well trained tree surgeons to treat these 
cavities properly. Delay may prove very costly as the 
cavity may be much larger on the inside than it appears 
to be from the outside. This repair work is a serious 
business and should be entrusted only to an intelligent 
and experienced tree surgeon. 
Photos of tree surgery on these pages are views in various 
parks in Washington where we have done considerable work for 
the United States Government. 
1. In trimming of large Elm trees as shown 
here, it pays to have the work done by 
trained experts. Modern methods of climb- 
ing with the aid of ropes are clearly shown 
in the illustration. 
2. Large Elm tree with sectional cement cav- 
ity partially filled. Upper limbs braced 
with rods to prevent splitting apart. 
3. Sectional drawing showing feeding of trees 
by the punch hole method which our ex- 
perience has proved most efficient as the 
food is placed below the reach of surface 
plants. It is the fine fibrous roots which 
assimilate the food to nourish the tree. 
Millane’s Shade Tree Food has been speci- 
ally prepared to give results. 
4. Large high pressure sprayers capable of 
throwing streams of fine mist into all parts 
of the tree are used entirely by us. This 
view shows one of our several outfits.
