We can however, derive an educated <br /> estimate of each trees' structural integrity, yet due to the anomalies of wood, <br /> (including but not limited to epicormic sprouting development, decay, deca <br /> walls, compartmentalization, and wound -wood formation), no one can y <br /> for certain. ) an know <br /> These tests reveal only a sampling of the trees' potential survivability.
