Does TreeRadar ever Recommend Drilling the Trunk?
The common consensus among arborists is that trees should be drilled only if there is strong evidence of decay. If trunk decay found by TRU is extensive enough to cause a certified arborist to render a risk hazard decision, it may be wise to get a “second opinion” by drilling the tree at a few locations, using the radar cross-sectional image maps as a guide, to confirm the TRU results.
