In 1985 Trees changed my life and gave me an endlessly challenging career and a fascinating subject to explore. Innovation led me off on many "projects" and one, The Energised Alert, is a live contact alarm for machinery working in proximity to electricity supply Lines. Some projects are listed below but whatever else, trees were and are a consuming passion and their care gave me the resources and time to develop the things that trees revealed to me, while growing a well known tree service company and raising my 2 daughters. Almost everything that is good in my life involved trees and the Tree Morphogenesis Project is how I am starting to repay the huge debt that I feel I owe to them.The book constructs a new conceptual model of a tree that will show readers the events and their eventual significance on mature Tree Architecture to fully explain how trees are designed by their long evolution to facilitate wind pruning. Reduction Via Thinning (RVT), is therefore bio-mimicry, using the process by which the tree diversified its canopy. It copies how a tree is designed to loose peripheral branches in a storm. Its subtle but reduces both mechanical & dynamic loads in a way that amplifies the beneficial effects on how the tree moves in strong winds. If you read no further remember this, "Less is More", but the book (or videos below) would explain why in more detail.Using RVT, the mechanical loadings are subtly modified but the character of the tree is preserved along with natural function, vitality & health. Tree owners can design long lived tree forms to fit the sometimes constrained urban environment. The book will also reveal a wonderful, insightful but primal way that you already sense and assess tree form and a lot besides, without realising..Tree Morphogenesis aims to change both how you look at and how you see trees by explaining how wonderfully efficient, elegantly simple and beautifully designed trees are..
