1.3.7. | believe that in this closed forest situation, trees number one, three, six, seven and eight
have sustained “Apical Meristematic Tissue” damage, either by “Abiotic” (Non-Living) and or
“Biotic” (Living) influences in their early growth cycle, and has then developed “Co-dominant
Stems / Leaders” (Bifurcated Stems) and or “Multiple Dominant Stems / Leaders” all arising at
one point on a single root crown.

Tree number two has developed a Structural defect leader exhibiting “Included Bark’, located
1.2 meters up from ground level.

e Note: “Co-dominant Stems” (Bifurcated Stems) and “Multiple Dominant Stems” arising at
one point on a single stem represents an influential structural defect within the tree
system, and sets the scene for fracture.
